An eight-month-old obese baby in Punjab, India has baffled her parents and doctors by her extreme weight gain and insatiable appetite for food.
在印度旁遮普省有一个8月大的肥胖女婴，她肥胖的身躯和无止境的食欲让父母和医生都倍感困扰。
Kumar was born with an average weight but inexplicably started gaining in size at the age of four months. Now, at just eight months old, she weighs a whooping 17kg, the same weight as an average four-year-old child.
古玛出生时体重和正常人还没什么两样，但是让人费解的是，4个月大的时候她的体重开始飙升。现在虽然只有8个月大，但是她已经重达34斤了--差不多是一个4岁孩子的体重。
Kumar's father, 23-year-old Suraj, spoke to reporters and said: "When Kumar was born, she was completely normal. Then, slowly we saw that her weight was shooting up. Her weight is increasing day by day."
古玛的父亲、今年23岁的苏拉杰对记者表示：“古玛出生时一切正常。后来，慢慢的我们就看到她的体重一天天疯长起来。她的体重每天都会增加。”
Kumar's mother, 21-year-old Reena, said Kumar eats four times the amount of food a normal-sized baby her age eats, adding: "She doesn't eat like a normal kid. She keeps eating all the time. If we don't give her anything to eat, she starts crying."
古玛的母亲、今年21岁的里纳表示，古玛每天的饭量是同龄正常体型孩子的四倍。此外，她还表示：“古玛吃饭也不像正常的孩子。她的嘴停不下来，一旦不给她吃东西她就会开始哭。”
Doctors have been unable to explain Kumar's insatiable appetite. To make matters worse, the fat her body has accumulated has hardened her skin and made it difficult for them to get her blood samples.
而医生似乎也不能解释为何古玛的食欲永无止境。更糟糕的是，古玛身体积累的脂肪已经使得她的皮肤硬化。医生难以抽取到她的血液样本。
Furthermore, her extreme weight is now causing more problems for her, such as difficulties in breathing and eating. The family's doctor, Sharma, recommended that they take Kumar to a specialized pediatrician at the Civil Hospital in Amritsar but the parents lack funds.
此外，骇人的体重也给她带来了更多的问题，比如呼吸和进食困难。家庭医生夏尔马建议这家人把古玛带去阿姆利则人民医院，给专业的儿科医生看看，但是古玛的父母却没有钱。
Suraj said: "It's not our fault. God gave this condition to her. It's not in our hands. I feel bad when some people laugh at her for being fat."
苏拉杰说道：“这并不是我们的错，是上帝让她这样的，这并不在我们的掌控之中。当某些人嘲笑她很胖的时候，我心里很不好受。”
