Peru's Andes Mountains might be home to the oldest person ever to have lived — at the age of 124.
秘鲁的安第斯山脉可能是有史以来最长寿的人的家乡——享年 124 岁。
The South American country’s government has claimed that a man named Marcelino Abad Tolentino from the central area of Huánuco was born in 1900. If the claim is true, he would be the oldest, independently verified human on earth.
这个南美国家政府声称，瓦努科中部地区一位名叫马塞利诺·阿巴德·托伦蒂诺 (Marcelino Abad Tolentino) 的男子出生于 1900 年。如果这一说法属实，他将是地球上经独立验证的最年长的人类。
Officials said in a statement that Abad “developed a healthy way of life and inner peace, reflected in his good health and friendly personality.” As a result, they said, "This allowed him, with resilience and skill, to overcome 12 decades of life and on April 5th he just blew out 124 candles."
官员们在一份声明中表示，阿巴德“养成了健康的生活方式和内心平静，这反映在他良好的健康状况和友善的性格中”。 结果，他们说，“这让他凭借韧性和技巧，克服了12年的生命，并在4月5日吹灭了124支蜡烛。”
Peruvian officials say they are helping Abad to contact Guinness World Records for independent verification.
秘鲁官员表示，他们正在帮助阿巴德联系吉尼斯世界纪录进行独立核实。
In a statement, the organization told Reuters, "Guinness World Records receives many applications from individuals who claim to be the oldest living person." Verifying the claim would involve official documents and other evidence being carefully studied by a team of experts to "prove their achievement beyond doubt."
该组织在一份声明中告诉路透社，“吉尼斯世界纪录收到了许多自称是最长寿者的申请。” 验证这一说法需要专家团队仔细研究官方文件和其他证据，以“毫无疑问地证明他们的成就”。
Guinness World Records currently lists Britain’s John Tinniswood, a 111-year-old as the oldest living man. The organization lists 117-year-old Maria Branyas Morera of Spain as the old living woman.
目前，吉尼斯世界纪录将英国 111 岁的约翰·廷尼斯伍德 (John Tinniswood) 列为在世最年长男性。 该组织将西班牙 117 岁的玛丽亚·布兰亚斯·莫雷拉 (Maria Branyas Morera) 列为在世老人。
As for the oldest living person ever, that record belongs to Jeanne Louise Calment of France. She was born on February 21, 1875, and died on August 4, 1997, after living 122 years and 164 days.
至于有史以来最长寿的人，这一纪录属于法国的珍妮·路易丝·卡尔门特（Jeanne Louise Calment）。 她出生于1875年2月21日，于1997年8月4日去世，享年122岁零164天。
Abad was born in the small town of Chaglla. He lived quietly until the Peruvian government identified him in 2019 and provided him with a pension.
阿巴德出生在查格拉小镇。 他一直过着平静的生活，直到 2019 年秘鲁政府确认了他的身份并为他提供了养老金。
Abad says his secrets to living a long life include a diet rich in fruits and lamb meat. He also likes to chew coca leaves, a tradition in Peru's Andean communities. The information comes from the pension program that Abad is a part of.
阿巴德说，他长寿的秘诀包括富含水果和羊肉的饮食。 他还喜欢咀嚼古柯叶，这是秘鲁安第斯社区的传统。 该信息来自阿巴德所属的养老金计划。
On April 5, Abad celebrated his 124th birthday with a cake bearing his likeness at a home for senior citizens where he now lives.
4月5日，阿巴德在他现居住的敬老院庆祝了他的124岁生日，并制作了印有他肖像的蛋糕。
