"four years"是因为强调才放到short of 之前吗？
[19:22:00] David says: he died at sixty-one, four years short of his pensionable age.
他61岁去世，离他领养老金还差4年。

请教各位，

这里的four years 是因为强调才放到short of 之前吗？本来的正常的位置是在哪里呢?age 之后？

Answer

Age of death: 61
Age to receive pension: 65

4 years short = 4 years too soon, 早了四年 (not sure if that the correct way to say it in Chinese)
