A New World's Tallest Man

2007.12.15 / / Edward Eng / Translated by Kelly Lin / According to Guinness World Records, the tallest man in medical history was Illinois native Robert Pershing Wadlow, who was 8 feet 11 inches and died in 1940 at the age of 22. 根據金氏世界紀錄，過去在醫學史上最高的人是美國的伊利諾州羅人伯特潘興沃德洛，身高是八呎十一吋，死於一九四○年，得年二十二歲 。 His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to a tumor within his pituitary gland. And he showed no indication of an end to his growth even at the time of his death. 他的超大體型和在成年期仍持續成長的現象是起因於他腦垂體中的一顆腫瘤。而且即使到他臨終時都沒有任何停止生長的跡象。 Currently, a Ukrainian man is the tallest person in the world at 8 feet 5 inches, overshadowing a Chinese man who previously held the title. 一位八呎五吋高的烏克蘭男子是目前世界上最高的人，超越了先前保持紀錄的中國籍男子。 Leonid Stadnik, a 37-year-old former veterinarian, is 8 inches taller than the former titleholder, China's Bao Xishun, who measured 7 feet 9 inches, Guinness World Records spokeswoman Amarilis Espinoza said. Unlike Stadnik or Wadlow, Bao doesn't suffer form any growth disorders like gigantism. 金氏世界紀錄發言人埃斯皮諾莎說，這名曾為獸醫的三十七歲男子斯塔德尼克比上一位身高七呎九吋的中國籍紀錄保持人鮑喜順高出八英吋。不過鮑喜順不像斯塔德尼克或沃德洛，他沒有罹患任何像巨人症這類的生長失調疾病。 In Stadnik's case, the pituitary gland, which is normally set to release the human growth hormone, was stimulated after a brain operation at the age of 14 triggering his growth spurt. 以斯塔德尼克的情況來說，一般用來釋放人類生長赫爾蒙的腦下垂體在他十四歲的一場腦部手術後受到了刺激，因而引發他的快速生長。 At present, he lives with his mother in northwestern Ukraine, taking care of the family's house and garden. 目前，他和母親居住在烏克蘭的西北部，照料自家的房屋和花園。
