Reddit评论：日本世界上最长寿的人去世，享年117岁



The world's oldest person, a 117-year-old Japanese woman, has died.

世界上最长寿的人去世了，是一个117岁的日本女性。

Nabi Tajima died in a hospital Saturday evening in the town of Kikai in southern Japan, town official Susumu Yoshiyuki said. She had been hospitalized since January.

Nabi Tajima于星期六晚上在日本南部喜界町的一家医院去世，当地官员Susumu Yoshiyuki表示Nabi Tajima从一月份就开始住院了。

Tajima, born on Aug. 4, 1900, was the last known person born in the 19th century. She raised seven sons and two daughters and reportedly had more than 160 descendants, including great-great-great grandchildren.

Tajima出生于1900年8月4日，是（世界上）最后一个出生在十九世纪的人。她养育了七个儿子和两个女儿，据说她的子孙有超过160名，其中包括曾曾曾孙。

She became the world's oldest person after the death in September of Violet Brown of Jamaica, also at the age of 117. Video on Japanese television showed Tajima moving her hands to the beat of music played on traditional Japanese instruments at a ceremony to mark the achievement.

在（去年）九月份牙买加一名也是117岁的老人Violet Brown去世后，Tajima成为了世界上最长寿的人。日本电视台播放的视频显示，Tajima在纪念她高寿的典礼上用手跟着日本传统乐器演奏的音乐打节拍。

Tajima's town of Kikai is a small island of about 7,000 people halfway between Okinawa and Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan's four main islands.

喜界町是位于冲绳岛和九州之间的一个小岛，九州是日本四个主要岛屿中最南的岛屿。

The U.S.-based Gerontology Research Group says that another Japanese woman, Chiyo Miyako, is now the world's oldest person. Miyako lives in Kanagawa prefecture, south of Tokyo, and turns 117 on May 2.

总部位于美国的老年学研究组织称，另一位日本女性Chiyo Miyako现在是世界上最长寿的人。Miyako住在东京南部的神奈川县，到今年5月2日就满117岁了。

Guinness World Records certified 112-year-old Masazo Nonaka of northern Japan as the world's oldest man earlier this month, and was planning to recognize Tajima as the world's oldest person.

本月早些时候，吉尼斯世界纪录认证了日本北部112岁的Masazo Nonaka是世界上最长寿的男性。吉尼斯世界纪录之前正在计划认证Tajima为世界上最长寿的人。

Just think of how many things she was alive for.
She was alive for the birth of man-made flight, she was alive for the start of mass production and the arrival of widespread automobile ownership, she saw not one but two world wars take their tolls and threaten humanity, she lived to see space exploration transform from literary fantasy to scientific reality, and so much more.
Kinda puts it into perspective just how many things a person can be alive at just the right moment in time to witness.
​
我只是想到她一生见证过了多少东西啊。
她见证了人造飞机的诞生，见证了大规模工业化大生产的开始，见证了汽车时代的到来。她见证了不止一次，而是两次世界大战造成恶果、威胁人类，她见证了太空探索从文学幻想到科学的转变等等。
试想，一个人能刚好见证多少东西啊。

And then you have us. Born too early to explore space, born too late to explore earth. Feelsbadman

然后是我们这代人，要探索太空吧，出生得太早，要探索地球吧，出生得太晚。
一脸悲伤蛙的表情

Born just in time to watch an electric sports car get put into orbit around the sun.

（我们这代人）有生之年刚好看到一辆电动跑车被放进了绕太阳运行的轨道。

Imagine living 52 more years after retiring at 65..
its like starting the second half of your life lol

想象一下在65岁退休之后还活了52年。。。。。。
这就跟开启第二个人生差不多了吧，哈哈

This means there are no people born in the 19th century still living.

这意味着再也不存在19世纪出生到现在还活着的人了。

The 19th century was a true killer. 100% fatality rate.

十九世纪是一个真正的杀手。100%的致死率啊。

sort of weird how the oldest person ever hit 122 in the 90s, and we've been stuck in the 115-117 range ever since.

有点奇怪的是，上世纪90年代最长寿的人曾经达到了122岁，而从那以后到现在，我们最长寿的人就一直徘徊在115岁到117岁之间。

Solidlonk
I remember reading somewhere on Wikipedia that the there was another person who lived to 122.

我记得在维基百科的某个地方读到有另外一个人活了122岁。

117, whilst it's fantastic in it's own right it's also terribly sad; she has lived through the death of her loved ones.

117岁，虽然从数字本身看很神奇，但是它也很让人心碎啊，她经历了那些她爱的人的离世。

That's awesome. My grandparents are in their mid 90s and have been married 72 years. I hope they get another solid decade, they're always in such great health.

太厉害了。我的爷爷奶奶现在90多岁，结婚已经七十二年了。我希望他们能再活十年，他们总是很健康。

So now there's no world's oldest person?

所以，现在世界上没有最长寿的人了？

Anyone holding the "World's Oldest" is bound to die soon. That's how it goes.

谁在“世界上最长寿”这个位置上，谁就一定会很快去世。事情就是这样。

I used to be the world's youngest person but nobody made a news report about me.

我曾经是世界上最年幼的一个人，但是也没人来报道我啊。

This guy was already 40 when WWII started that's nuts.

这个人在第二次世界大战开始的时候就已经40岁了。太疯狂了吧。

I want to know about his diet.

我想了解她的饮食。

T0yN0k 
It seems like a lot of people live to extremely old age in Japan and I wonder how much of it has to do with genetics, diet, or lifestyle?

好像日本有很多人活到很老的年纪，我在想这跟基因、饮食或者生活方式有多大关系呢？

prodcough 
world's oldest person is also person mostly likely to die next

世界上最长寿的人也是世界上下一个最可能去世的人。

MetaParser 
That was my thought too...

我也是这么想的。。。。。。
