When talking about someone's (or an animal's) age, use 岁. Otherwise, use 年.
e.g.
我10岁.
他比我大两岁.
In Classical Chinese, 岁 and 年 were interchangeable.

dans l'ancien chinois, 年 = 岁 = an, comme le français, ils peuvent utiliser soit comme "year" soit comme "years old". mais maintenant, 年 veut dire "year" and 岁 veut dire "years old".
