A seven-year old girl who weeps stones is baffling doctors who are unable to say what is causing the phenomenon.
一名七歲的小女孩眼中竟哭出石頭,這使得醫生們十分困然,誰都說不出究竟是什麼導致了這種現象的發生。
This Indian girl, Kura Nitya, has been weeping stones from her right eye since October 26, according to newspaperTamil Nesan.
根據淡米爾尼申報的報道,這名印第安女孩卡萊尼婭從10月26號開始就從她的右眼裏哭出石頭。
Her grandfather commented: "Initially, we thought it was some divine power and prayed to God for this phenomenon to stop."
其祖父說道:"最初我們以爲是某種神的力量,於是便向上蒼禱告祈求停止這種情況。"
Nitya apparently cries between 12 and 25 stones a day, and said that her right eye swells before they painlessly fall out.
尼婭每天能哭出12到25塊石頭,她說石頭流出來時並不會帶來痛感,只是右眼會在"哭石"之前變得腫脹。
Despite the oddity, an ophthalmologist has declared the young girl medically fit.
雖然事情十分蹊蹺,但一位眼科醫生卻聲稱這個小女孩從醫學上看十分健康。
