印度21歲男子體型如嬰兒 被當地人當作神明轉世

Manpreet Singh, 21, is the same height and weight as a six month old baby and is believed to be one of the smallest people in the world.

曼普利特·辛格今年21歲，但身高體重卻與六個月嬰兒一樣，被認爲是這個世界最矮小的人之一。

Currently undiagnosed, his condition remains a mystery. But now locals in Punjab, India, consdier him a deity and visit him daily to be 'blessed'.

當前未經確診，他的情況仍是一個謎。不過現在印度旁遮普的當地人都把他當成一個神明，每天都來敬拜他，希望得到“保佑”。

Mr Singh was born a healthy baby boy, but his parents Jagtar Singh and Manjeet Kaur say his growth suddenly stopped when he was six months old.

辛格出生時是一個健康的男孩，不過他的父親加戈塔·辛格和母親曼基·考爾表示，他的成長在6個月時突然停止。

Sadly, doctors have never examined him properly as his family have never been able to afford medical treatment.

遺憾的是，由於他的家庭無法負擔治療費用，他從來就沒有接受過正規的檢查。

Additionally, Mr Singh is unable to talk and walk - he stopped moving his legs when he was three. But his family insist that he still brings joy to his fellow villagers.

此外，辛格既不能說話，也不能走路--三歲時他的腿就不能移動了。不過他的家人堅稱他仍能爲村民們帶來快樂。

'We have taken him to many doctors since his birth but around 5-7 doctors told us that he is suffering from thyroid and he can be treated,' his mother said. But we have given him a lot of medicines and there is no difference.'

他的媽媽說道：“自他出生後，我們就帶他看過很多醫生，不過有大約5到7名醫生告訴我們，他是得了甲狀腺方面疾病，可以被治癒。我們也給他吃了很多種藥，但是沒有效果。”

She added: 'Among his relatives, as well as those who come from outside, he is considered to be like a God. Whoever he blesses will get their wish fulfilled. People don't bully my son for being short. People come to worship him everyday.'

她還表示：“他的親戚，以及那些外來的人，都把他當作神。無論誰來敬拜都能讓他們實現願望。人們不會因爲他個子太矮而欺負他，而是每天都來參拜他。”
