问题描述：
No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active ,challenged,or stimulated
这句话怎么翻译
其中 is better off 作何理解
答
没有人会否认,一个年长的人会表现更好的状态,能够更加积极活跃、充满挑战或者自我激励.
be better off v.境况好可否，这样理一个年长的人更加积极活跃、充满挑战或者自我激励会更好？（从原文中这样理解好像更符合题意)因为那句：a live dog is better offthan a dead lion这句中is better off 应作更好理解不过我觉得奇怪为什么is better off 后面还要接一个thana live dog is better offthan a dead lion 一条活狗胜过一头死狮只要有比较级就要加than上边一句 an older person is better off （省略了than a younger person）
