You look young or you looked old?

Reader's Digest７月号のLife's Like Thatと題したコラムからです。
Even at age 88, my mother was vain about her looks. At a party, an old friend exclaimed, "Edith, you haven't changed in 20 years."
"Oh," said Mum, horrified. "I hope I didn't look like this 20 years ago."
いずれにせよもし "You look young." と言われたら、もう若くはないと言うことでしょうね。
