Chaucer was over seventy , but he was not convinced of his age. At a time he boasted: My physical strength is as strong as that I was young. The opposite person asked: What do you rely on? Chaucer said : There is a big stone roller in my compound. I couldnt heave it when was young, neither can（倒装句） I now. 乔叟年过六旬，仍不服老。一次，他对人夸耀说：我和年轻时力气一样大。他们问：何以见得？乔叟说：我家大院里有个碌碡，年轻时我举不起来，目前我还是举不起来。
