A 12-year-old girl has joined the ranks of Mensa after attaining a higher IQ score than those attributed to Albert Einstein and Professor Stephen Hawking.
一名12岁女孩经过IQ测试之后，发现分数比爱因斯坦和霍金还要高，目前她已经加入了门萨。
Lydia Sebastian scored a maximum 162 in the 150-minute test of mental agility.
在一场时长150分钟的精神敏捷测试中，莉迪亚.塞巴斯蒂安获得了最高162分的高分。
The minds behind the general theory of relativity and Hawking radiation are estimated to have IQs of 160.
而提出广义相对论（爱因斯坦）和霍金辐射论（霍金）的两位科学家IQ得分才160而已。
Lydia’s parents only allowed her to sit the test because she had nagged them about it for a year.
莉迪亚的父母之所以允许她参加这一测试，是因为她已经念叨这事儿一年了。
They have never pushed her academically and said they were astonished at the result.
他们从未在学术上强逼自己的女儿，表示对这一测试结果非常惊讶。
Her father Arun, 43, said: ‘We really have done nothing special with her. She’s our only child so we don’t have anyone to compare her with.
莉迪亚43岁的父亲阿伦说道：“我们真没对她做什么特别的事儿。她是我们唯一的孩子，所以我们不知道她跟其他小孩有什么不同。”
‘The only thing I’d say is that she started speaking when she was quite young – about six months. At the time I was a trainee doctor and my wife was studying chemistry and I was away at weekends. She used to say a few words to me on the phone.
“我唯一想说的就是，她很小的时候就开始说话了——大概6个月大的时候。那时我是一个实习医生，我妻子正在学习化学，周末我也不在家。她曾经在电话里对我说过几句话。”
‘She also had an early interest in reading. When she was a few years old she was reading books that were for children several years older than her.
“她也早早地培养起了对阅读的兴趣。当她才几岁大的时候，她就已经开始读专为大孩子准备的书籍了。”
‘And maths is her favourite subject. She won a prize for that when she was at primary school.’
“而数学是她最喜欢的科目。小学时她就得过数学奖。”
He added: ‘We’ve got a fairly laid back view [about education]. If a child is pushed to do something that’s not designed for their age then, personally, I’d feel they they’d be missing out on other things.
他还说道：“我们对教育的态度比较开明。如果孩子被强迫做一些不符合他们年龄的事情，那么我个人觉得他们就会错过其他一些事情。”
‘Even now she comes back from school to sit down and do homework until 8.30 or 9pm.’
“即使她现在放学回家后会做作业到晚上8点半到9点。”
