Question

有一段英文看不懂,谁帮解释（很短）
eighty was a special birthday,another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it
为什么突然来一句another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it?
这段话是老版本大学英语课本第三课的原话.

Answer 1

八十岁的生日是特殊的一个,能不能再继续活十年,或者忍耐十年,完全由你自己的生活态度决定.
another decade lived or endured是主句即eighty was a special birthday,的限定性状语,解释为什么说80岁的生日特别；just as you chose to look at it是修饰lived or endured的状语从句,表示or的条件.
这个句子,从句套从句,结构够复杂,但你还是可以理解
