Celebrating your 18th birthday is a momentous occasion for anyone, but for tiny Jyoti Amge the milestone is even bigger news.
18歲生日對于每個人來說都是人生的一個重要時刻，但是對于嬌小的Jyoti Amge來說，這里程碑式的日子更是一件大事。

The 62.8com-tall teenager is already a mini celebrity in her hometown of Nagpur, India, but is now set for a huge record when she is officially declared the world's smallest woman.
身高僅62.8厘米的Jyoti在家鄉(xiāng)印度那格浦爾已經(jīng)是一個小小名人，而今她又準備摘得一項重要記錄，她被官方宣布為世界最嬌小的健在女性。

And despite her miniature stature, Jyoti hopes to celebrate being crowned the world's shortest woman by launching a Bollywood movie career.
雖然體格迷你，Jyoti卻憧憬著開始自己的寶萊塢電影事業(yè)，以此慶祝加冕世界最矮女性的頭銜。

A teary-eyed Jyoti, dressed in one of her finest saris, called the honor an 'extra birthday present' and said she felt grateful for being small, as it had brought her recognition.
生日會上，Jyoti穿著她最好的莎麗服，眼含淚水，將此頭銜稱為“額外的生日禮物”。Joyti感激上天給予她嬌小的身材，這讓她能夠為世人矚目。

She also blew out candles on a birthday cake which was comfortably bigger than her. Even the Guinness World Records book at the ceremony came up to Jyoti's waist.
Jyoti吹滅了生日蛋糕上的蠟燭，而蛋糕比她本人還要大。就連生日會上那本世界基尼斯記錄冊都到她的腰了。

Jyoti weighs just 12lbs(5.5kg) - only 9lbs more than she did at birth - and has a form of dwarfism call achondroplasia, which stopped her growing after her first birthday.
Jyoti體重僅有12磅（5.5千克），只比出生時重了9磅。她患有軟骨發(fā)育不全癥（屬于侏儒癥的一種），使得她從一周歲生日后就停止了生長。

She has brittle bones and is likely to need care for the rest of her life, but that has not stopped her tall ambitions of cracking the movie industry.[/en
她的骨骼很脆弱，在未來的人生中可能需要特別照顧，但是這并沒有阻礙她沖擊電影界的遠大志向。
