世上最長壽老人艾瑪·莫拉諾去世 享年117歲
Emma Morano was born on 29 November 1899 in the Piedmont region of Italy. She was officially the last person born in the 1800s still living.
艾瑪·莫拉諾於1899年11月29日出生於意大利皮德蒙特地區，她是官方記載的19世紀出生活着的最後一個人。She had attributed her longevity to her genetics and a diet of three eggs a day, two of them raw.
她把自己的長壽歸功於基因以及每天吃三個雞蛋--其中兩個還是生的。Ms Morano was the oldest of eight siblings, all of whom she has outlived. She died at her home in the northern city of Verbania.
莫拉諾是8個兄弟姐妹中最年長的，但是卻比其他人活得都要久。近日她於北部城市韋爾巴尼亞的家中安詳去世。
Her life not only spanned three centuries but also survived an abusive marriage, the loss of her only son, two World Wars and more than 90 Italian governments.
她的一生不僅跨越了三個世紀，還經歷了痛苦的婚姻、獨子的去世、兩次世界大戰以及意大利90多個政府。
Ms Morano had admitted that her longevity was partly down to genetics: her mother reached 91 and several sisters reached their centenary.
莫拉諾曾承認，自己的長壽部分歸功於遺傳：她的母親活到了91歲，她的幾個妹妹都達到了百歲高齡。But it was also down to a rather unusual diet of three eggs - two raw - each day for more than 90 years.
但是這也和她相當不同尋常的飲食有關--90多年裏她每天都吃3個雞蛋（其中兩個是生雞蛋）。It was a regime she took up as a young woman, after the doctor diagnosed her with anaemia shortly after World War One.
這是她年輕時養成的生活習慣，當時一戰剛剛結束不久，她被醫生診斷出患有貧血。Her doctor of 27 years, Carlo Bava, had told AFP news agency that she rarely ate vegetables or fruit. "When I met her, she ate three eggs per day, two raw in the morning and then an omelette at noon, and chicken at dinner."
莫諾拉27歲的醫生卡洛·博沃向美聯社透露，她很少吃蔬菜和水果。“當我見到她時，她每天要吃三個雞蛋，早晨兩個生雞蛋，中午一個煎蛋，晚上用雞肉當晚餐。”
