【摘要2022.3.26.六.自由】◎周虹汶
A Michigan woman soon will celebrate a
milestone birthday. How old? Look at her decorative upper arm.
一名密西根女子即將做大壽。幾歲呢？看看她有一堆裝飾的上臂。
Gloria Weberg has “NY NY 1922” tattooed on
her left arm, the year and place of her birth.
葛洛莉亞．韋伯格在她的左手臂刺了「NY NY
1922」，她的出生年份和地點。
Weberg is turning 100 on March 2, not a
typical age to visit a tattoo artist. But that’s what she has done every 10
years since turning 80.
韋伯格3月2日要滿100歲了，不是拜訪刺青師的典型年紀。但她滿80歲以來，每10年都是這樣做。
Her birth year and New York is under a
goddess representing Mother Earth — added at age 80 — and among seven stars
representing her children, which she added at age 90.
她的出生年份和紐約在代表「大地之母」的一名女神下方──80歲的時候加的──，周圍有7顆星代表她的孩子，則是她在90歲的時候加的。
“My secret is being active,” Weberg said
of her longevity. “To be aware of what’s going on in the world in every way,
from what my children were doing, their education, how important that was to
me.”（AP）
談到長壽，「我的秘訣是保持積極。」「以各種方式意識這個世界正在發生的事情，從我的小孩做的事、他們的教育，這對我來說好重要。」（美聯社）
