每日背誦第五期57
It is said that thousands of years ago people lived to a very old age. Scientists cannot prove or disprove these accounts. Perhaps Methuselah lived hundreds of years. Perhaps this is only an exaggerated account. The greatest age to which a person has lived in our time was only a little more than 113 years. Mrs. Delina Filkins died at the age of 113 years, 214 days. Scientists are sure of her birthday and the date of her death.
據(jù)說數(shù)千年前人們的壽命很長(zhǎng)?？茖W(xué)家們不能證實(shí)也沒辦法反駁這些說法。可能Methuselah是活了幾百年，也可能這只是一個(gè)夸張的記述。在我們的時(shí)代最長(zhǎng)壽的一個(gè)人也只活了113歲多一點(diǎn)。 Delina Fikins死時(shí)是113歲零214天。科學(xué)家們確定她的生辰和死亡日期。
注：Methuselah n.瑪土撒拉(《圣經(jīng)·創(chuàng)世記》人物,據(jù)傳享年969歲)
