    Twins Days Festival opens in Twi





    Twins Days Festival opens in
    Twinsburg

    世界各地双胞胎在美大聚会


    8月5日,美国俄亥俄州特温斯堡市(“双胞胎之城”)的人数倍增,来自世界各地的双胞胎们齐聚一堂,参加这里一年一度的双胞胎节。













    Brothers Fred and Hugo Svenleen of Sweden enjoy an ice cream during
    the Twins Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.


     


    The city of Twinsburg, Ohio, saw double as twins from around the world
    converged for the annual Twins Days Festival on August 5.


    More than 3,500 twins, triplets and quadruplets come from all across the
    United States and as far away as Australia, England and Japan to meet others in
    the same genetic boat and -- for at least a few days -- feel like part of the
    crowd.


    "All the twins, you just relate to
    them so well," said Stuart Daniel of one set of twins. "They understand you.
    They're just like us."


    Stuart and his brother, Phillip, toured the festival in the uniforms they
    wear at their jobs as surf life-guards -- bright yellow jerseys, red swim
    trunks, sandals, and red-and-yellow swim caps.


    The 39-year old brothers said they live and work together, and had even
    come close to marrying another set
    of twin women. The Australians were on their way to take part in one of several
    research studies being conducted at the festival.


    Twins such as Jeanette Meadows and her sister Geneva Petitt attended the
    event, giving them a chance to mingle with others who were born into the same
    situation, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.


    "It's just the fellowship with other twins," said Meadows. "To be around
    other people who understand what it means to be a twin."


    Festival organizers expected nearly 3,000 sets of twins -- and more than
    40,000 people overall -- to attend the 31st event.


    Dr. Kevin Cooper, chairman of dermatology at Case Western Reserve University,
    was there for the seventh year in a row to study the onset of diseases as they
    pertain to twins.


    "Every time we come, we learn something," Cooper said. "It's quite a
    resource."
