be + rising + [age]
用法筆記
Only used after the verb 'to be', followed by a round-number age (thirty, forty, fifty, etc.), never a precise one like 'thirty-two'. This use is old-fashioned in everyday conversation but still appears in narrative and biographical writing. The equivalent American expression is 'going on [age]'.
