昨天关于97还是98的争论,这是GPT的解释:他于2026年8月12日逝世,中国官方讣告称“享年98岁”;按国际通行的周岁计算,他实际去世时为97岁。If you are writing in English, use 97. If you are quoting the official Chinese obituary, use 享年98岁. 哈哈。我是用的华尔街日报截图,所以是英文媒体的报道。外国人没有虚岁的概念。另外好像评论区又开启了站方评论精选,不能评论了。
If you mean Zhu Rongji (朱镕基), both 97 and 98 are appearing today, and the discrepancy is caused by different Chinese and Western obituary-age conventions.
Zhu was born October 23, 1928 and died August 12, 2026. China’s official Xinhua obituary states “享年98岁”. But by the standard international calculation of completed years, he had not yet reached his 98th birthday. He was therefore 97 years old—more precisely, about 97 years and 9½ months. That is why AP, WSJ, and The Guardian report that he died at age 97.
