[双语]17岁泰国少女身高2米 创造发育奇迹

    17-year-old Malee Duangdee from Thailand has been crowned as the tallest teenager in the world at a whopping 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters) and she could still be growing. At the age of 12, she just could reach 1.88 meters. Medics found a brain tumor that caused a hormone imbalance which meant she never stopped growing - and now she has to have an injection that costs 2,000 pounds every three months to control her growth.

　　17岁的泰国女孩马莉·杜安格迪日前以2.08米的身高被冠为世界上个子最高的女孩。早在马莉12岁时，身高就已达1.88米。医生在马莉脑部发现了一个肿瘤，正是这一肿瘤致使马莉体内荷尔蒙分泌失衡，这也意味着马莉将会永远“生长”下去。如今马莉不得不每三个月注射一次价值2000英镑的药物来控制生长。
