奧菲莉亞·摩根-德,來自英國赫里福德郡,懷河畔的羅斯小鎮(zhèn)。八個月大的時候,她發(fā)出人生第一個詞“嗨呀”,含有兩個音節(jié)。她很快學(xué)會了數(shù)字、顏色及字母表。她甚至記得自己一歲前發(fā)生的事,多數(shù)成年人是沒有三歲前的記憶的。
Her mum Natalie realized she was bright and took her to experts who have given her an IQ score - of 171, which is higher than Arnav Sharma, 11, (162), and Rahul Doshi, 12, (162) previously hailed as Britain's cleverest kids.
媽媽娜塔莉意識到她很聰明,于是帶她去看專家。經(jīng)測定,奧菲莉亞智商171,超過早前的“神童”— 阿爾納夫·夏爾馬(11歲),智商162;拉胡爾·多希(12歲),智商162。
Ophelia is now Britain's youngest member of MENSA and is said to have the intellectual capacity of a child more than twice her age. She is now in the top 0.03 percent of the population in terms of brain power.
奧菲莉亞現(xiàn)是門薩組織最年輕的成員,她的智力能力據(jù)說超過了六歲以上的孩子。在腦力方面,她屬于世界人口最頂尖的0.03%。
Natalie said: “She loves reading books with me or her dad, and she loves number work and letters and the computer. She is quite an active child, always likes to be doing something and is very spirited. She loves playing with her cousins and going to the park. Ophelia is such a beautiful girl and I would be proud of her no matter what she achieved, as long as she was healthy and happy.”
娜塔莉說:“她喜歡和爸爸或媽媽一起看書,她喜歡數(shù)字、字母還有電腦。她是個很活潑的孩子,總是閑不下來,精力非常充沛。她喜歡跟家里的孩子們一起玩,也喜歡去公園。奧菲莉亞是個美麗的小家伙,不管她之后會取得何種成就,我都為她感到驕傲,只希望她健康快樂。”
“A lot of people, including myself, almost shy away from celebrating their children's intellectual achievement, there seems to be a stigma around it. But then I thought it is no different to parents celebrating a medal in a sports event, so she deserves praise for being so clever.”
“在贊美孩子智力成就這一方面,很多人,包括我自己,幾乎都持羞澀回避的態(tài)度。似乎這樣做很讓人蒙羞。但是我轉(zhuǎn)念一想,這跟家長們慶祝在體育比賽中獲獎一舉并無不同。所以她值得被贊美,因為她如此聰穎。”
She was exceeding all her early learning goals, so her family took her see a child psychologist in London.
由于她超出早期學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)值過多,家人帶著她去了倫敦咨詢兒童心理學(xué)家。
