In an interview with Guinness World Records Lee Redmond talked about her meeting with Melvin Booth:
在一次采訪中,吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄保持者Lee Redmond談到自己與Melvin Booth的會(huì)面時(shí)說:

“I have very, very fond memories from Melvin, he touched my life. He also broke my heart, to see this man who wouldn’t even go out of his home. Tears when I left, both he and I. I hope that some day he will realise that he’s more than his fingernails. . . I think the difference between Melvin and me, for one thing they didn’t keep me from going out in public, and they didn’t make me be secluded. I would have never, never chose to keep them if they would have had to keep me away from people or you know, living whatever normal is you know.”
“和Melvin的那次會(huì)面給我留下了十分愉快的回憶,他觸動(dòng)了我的生命。看到他甚至無法走出家門也讓我?guī)捉乃?。?dāng)我離開的時(shí)候我們倆都留下了眼淚。我希望有一天他會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)他的存在不僅僅是因?yàn)樽约旱闹讣?..我認(rèn)為我和Melvin的區(qū)別首先在于他們不會(huì)不讓我到外面去活動(dòng),他們也沒把我隔絕起來。如果他們不讓我接近人群或者過著非常人的生活,我是絕對(duì)不會(huì)選擇繼續(xù)留指甲的?!?/div>

“I hope he will decide to go out and interact with people and I’m sure that he felt the love that I had for him and respect. It wasn’t his fingernails; it was him that I cared for.”
“我希望他決定出去和人們交流,同時(shí)我也肯定他感覺到了我對(duì)他的愛和敬佩。我在乎的不是他的指甲而是他本人?!?/div>

小編吐槽:啊……這個(gè)世界上就是有人這么空啊,為了“吉尼斯”做出各種匪夷所思的努力,不知道該哭還是該笑。其他同道中人看這里:各種無聊有閑的世界最快紀(jì)錄>>
