正如您所说, Life expectancys意味着expected lifespan !它可以被视为一个更具技术性的术语。 life expectancy是比expected lifespan更常见的表达方式。如果你想随便说,你可以写how long something usually lives 。示例: The life expectancy of a goldfish is 10 to 15 years. = Goldfish usually live for about 10 to 15 years. (金鱼的平均寿命为 10 到 15 年。) 示例: An animal's life expectancy can be quite long. But it often depends on their living conditions. (动物的预期寿命可能很长,但通常取决于生活条件。)
