书上这么写：as they came to the gates Cirdan the shipwright came forth to greet them.very tall he was,and his beard was long,and he was grey and old.
刚开始以为他不是Eldar，后来看了附录：
throughout the third age the guardianship of the the three rings was known only to those who possessed them.but at the end it became known that they had been held at first by the three greatest of the Eldar :Gil-galad,Galadriel, Cirdan

cirdan有胡子？精灵有胡子吗？而且瑟丹既然是埃尔达，就不应该显老啊！

            记得作者有解释过，精灵虽是永生不朽，但是在他一生中还是会有不同阶段的特征。就像亚拉冈成年后，就一直维持壮年到百来岁，然后快死时才步入老年，
精灵在非常年长之时就会有胡子出现。瑟丹是贝尔兰时期就已存在许久的精灵，所以他已经老到胡子都有了。

想象一下legolas和Elrond、Celeborn、Thranduil活到非常年长之时长胡子的样子？
