More context, please?
Samantha Zhao Jun 11, 2008:

不是先生,因为并列的还有很多先生,这个单独指出来, 也不是高级,因为不可能说高级史密斯先生吧?
Shirley Lao Jun 11, 2008:
Can you state the name of this person? "Sr" may mean señor or sister (a Catholic nun). (cf Merriam Webster)

如果您需要譯出﹐應該譯為“老”


比如老羅斯福﹐老布什等。

SR只表示輩分﹐即一個家庭中兩個姓名相同的人中的長輩。中文的“老”正好與此對應。這個老並不一定說明這個人年齡很大﹐SR 和JR﹐通常就用“老”和“小”來翻譯。

如果SR在名稱前﹐應為爵士。XXX爵士。

有的網頁上把SR在後邊也譯為爵士﹐但我沒有找到這樣是否準確的根據。
Note from asker:
如果SR在名字后面,就不能是爵士的意思吗?

Sir / senior 的缩写

通常 Sr. 代表:
1. =Sir
2. =senior

如果Sr 是在名字的后面的话,就是senior

Sir 是先生,这个不用说,大家都知道。 :-)
Senior是相对于Junior的,比如下面ADELLEBJ提到的,为区分长辈晚辈,长辈名前加Sr. (senior的缩写),晚辈则加Jr.(junior的缩写);
还有一种情况,就是在国外的公司内,碰到同事之间同名的,也用 Sr (代表年长的一位)和 Jr (年轻的一位)来区分。
