研究員表示,最長壽的女性或在年齡上造了假

I just wrote about a guy who wanted to change his age legally, and got turned down. But now, this? This was the oldest person ever though, so let's here the story out.

我剛寫過一篇一名想要合法改變自己年齡但卻被拒絕的男人的文章。那現在這篇又是怎麼回事呢？這篇文章的主人公是有史以來最年長的人，所以，讓我們來聽聽這個故事吧。

This lady didn't want to be any younger though like Emile Ratelband. Nope. In fact, she added a couple of decades to her age, or so it has been said. She is currently known as the oldest person who ever lived.

這位老奶奶並不想像Emile Ratelband一樣"減少"年齡，讓自己變得"年輕"。一點兒都不想。事實上，她將自己的年齡增加了幾十歲，至少有傳聞如是說。目前，她被稱爲世界上最年長者。

Unfortunately, she is now also known as the lady who may have added 23 years to her real age. Jeanna Calment died in August 1997 in Aires France. At the time, she was reported as 122 years and 164 days old, also known as, the oldest person on record. However, when researchers stated that the woman who claimed to be Calment was actually her daughter, Yvonna Calment, 99.

不幸的是，現在大家都已知曉：她可能在真實年齡基礎之上又增加了23歲。雅娜·卡爾曼特（Jeanna Calment）於1997年8月在法國亞耳去世。當時，媒體報道她活了122年零164天，被評爲世界上最年長者。然而，研究員發現，這位自稱是卡爾曼特的女士實際上是她的女兒葉娜·卡爾曼特（Yvonna Calment），實際年齡99歲。

A new paper suggested that Jeanna Calment died in 1934 and that Yvonne Calment assumed her identity so that their family wouldn't have to pay inheritance taxes. The evidence collected includes an identity card that was issued to Jeanne Calment in the 1930s that does not list the same hair color or height that she "had" later in life.

最近的一篇文章表明：雅娜·卡爾曼特於1934年去世，而葉娜·卡爾曼特冒用了她的身份，這樣她的家人就不用支付遺產稅了。收集到的證據包括：20世紀30年代發給雅娜·卡爾曼特的身份證，身份證上所註明的頭髮顏色及身高與其晚期生活並不一致。

In an interview with Joseph Charles Frédéric Billot, he says that he never remarried even though he was only 42 when Yvonne Calment died. "There were many mentions that he was getting along very well with Jeanne and they were raising Yvonne's son Frédéric Jean Paul together."

約瑟夫·查爾斯·弗雷德裏克·比洛（Joseph Charles Frédéric Billot）在接受採訪時說道：儘管葉娜·卡爾曼特去世時他才42歲，但他後來卻未曾再娶。"很多人都說他與雅娜相處得很好，而且他們還共同撫養了葉娜的兒子弗雷德裏克·讓·保羅。"

There was also a birth certificate of a maid that Jeanne Calment said took her to school as a child. "It turns out that she was 10 years younger than Jeanne, which means that she could only be taking her daughter Yvonne to school," he said. At the end of the day, the evidence does not stack up and although the researchers think they know what happened, others disagree.

證據還包括一位女僕的出生證明，雅娜·卡爾曼特曾說過小時候女僕跟着她一起上學。"事實證明，女僕比雅娜小10歲，這也意味着她送去上學的可能是雅娜的女兒葉娜，"他說道。歸根結底，這些證據其實根本站不住腳，儘管研究人員認爲他們確切知道當年發生了什麼，但其他人並不這麼認爲。

Either way, this is an odd story.

無論如何，這都是一則離奇的故事。
