印度男子与39个妻子的真实生活
A 66-year-old man in India's remote northeast has 39 wives, 94 children and 33 grandchildren, all living under one roof.
印度东北部一个偏远地区有一位66岁男子,他共有39位妻子、94名儿女和33个孙子女,所有人都生活在一起。They all live in a four storied building with 100 rooms in a mountainous village in Mizoram state, sharing borders with Burma and Bangladesh, according to reports。
据报道,他们全都住在印度米佐拉姆邦一个山村中的一栋四层小楼里,楼中共有100个房间。米佐拉姆邦与缅甸和孟加拉国接壤。"I once married 10 women in one year," Ziona Chana said。
这名叫齐奥纳•查纳的男子说:“我曾经在一年内娶了10个老婆。”
His wives share a dormitory near Ziona's private bedroom and locals said he likes to have seven or eight of them by his side at all times。
齐奥纳私人卧室旁边有一间大寝室是他的妻子们共用的,当地人说齐奥纳喜欢身边总是有七八位老婆陪着他。The sons and their wives, and all their children, live in different rooms in the same building, but share a common kitchen。
他的儿子和儿媳们,以及孙辈们住在同一栋楼的不同房间里,但他们共用一个厨房。The wives take turns cooking, while his daughters clean the house and do washing. The men do outdoor jobs like farming and taking care of livestock。
齐奥纳的妻子们和媳妇们轮流做饭,而他的女儿们则负责打扫房子和洗衣服。家庭里的男人们负责耕种、喂养家畜等户外工作。The family, all 167 of them, consumes around 200lb of rice and more than 130lb of potatoes a day. They are supported by their own resources and occasional donations from followers。
这个167人的大家庭一天要吃掉约200磅米饭、130多磅土豆。他们基本能自给自足,偶尔也会有追随者赠送一些食物给他们。"Even today, I am ready to expand my family and willing to go to any extent to marry," Ziona said。
齐奥纳说:“即使是现在,我也很愿意继续娶妻,扩大我的家庭。”"I have so many people to care (for) and look after, and I consider myself a lucky man."
“我有这么多亲人可以去关心和照顾,我觉得我是个幸运的人。”Mr Chana met his oldest wife, who is three years older than he is, when he was 17.
查纳在17岁时遇到了他最大的老婆,她大他三岁。He heads a local Christian religious sect, called the "Chana", which allows polygamy. Formed in June 1942, the sect believes it will soon be ruling the world with Christ and has a membership of around 400 families。
查纳是当地一个叫“查纳”的基督教派别的领袖,该教创立于1942年6月,允许一夫多妻制。目前,该教派约有400个家庭的教徒,并且认为他们很快就会和耶稣一起统治世界。
