世界頂級智商俱樂部門薩近日迎來了一名新成員，這名新成員年僅2歲就憑藉高達146的智商通過了門薩的測試，成為該組織在美國最年輕的成員。來看看這位小神童有什麼過人之處吧！
A California toddler is the youngest American to join Mensa -- the oldest IQ society in the world.
加州的一名幼童成為加入門薩俱樂部年紀最小的美國人。門薩俱樂部是世界上最古老的高智商協會。
Kashe Quest, now 3, joined the American branch of the organization on March 29, 2021, at age 2 with an IQ of 146, making her the youngest American member, Mensa confirmed to "Good Morning America."
門薩俱樂部向《早安美國》證實，現年3歲的卡什·奎斯特於2021年3月29日加入門薩俱樂部美國分會，當時年僅兩歲的她智商高達146，這使她成為門薩俱樂部最年輕的美國會員。
"By 18 months, she had mastered pretty much the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes ... and then that"s when we started noticing this is pretty advanced for her age," Sukhjit Athwal, Kashe"s mom, told "GMA." "So we spoke with the pediatrician and she was like, "Just continue documenting.""
卡什的母親蘇克吉特·阿斯瓦爾告訴《早安美國》説：“卡什1歲半就已經掌握了字母表、數字、顏色、形狀等知識，從那時起我們開始注意到她的智力發育很超前。我們和兒科醫生交流了這一情況，醫生的意見是：繼續密切關注。”
With a background in child education, Athwal has learning resources readily available around her family"s home, but never pushed Kashe in any particular direction.
擁有幼兒教育背景的阿斯瓦爾在家中有很多現成的學習資源，但是她從未給卡什設定特別的學習方向。
"The way we"ve implemented her learning is we"ve never really forced her to sit down and do anything -- it was out of her natural curiosity," she said.
她説：“我們從未強迫她坐下來做任何事情，她學習都是出自天然的好奇心。”
According to her parents, Kashe memorized the 50 states by shape and location and could name all of the elements on the periodic table by the time she was 2 years old.
據卡什的父母稱，卡什在兩歲時就能記住美國50個州的形狀和地理位置，還能背出元素週期表上的所有元素。
"That"s when we were encouraged to explore our options in terms of getting her tested," Athwal said. "It"s pretty amazing what she"s doing at this point in time and how fast she"s grasping concepts."
阿斯瓦爾説：“這時候有人鼓勵我們帶她去做個測試。她在這個年齡段所做的事以及掌握概念的速度太令人驚訝了。”
To qualify for Mensa membership, applicants must take an approved intelligence test and score at or above the 98th percentile. "It was working on receptive memory, cognitive skills and logical reasoning," Athwal said.
想要進入門薩俱樂部，申請者必須接受正規的智力測試並答對至少98%的題目。阿斯瓦爾説：“門薩俱樂部測試了她的接受性記憶力、認知技能和邏輯推理能力。”
Kashe"s parents place high importance on making sure they give their daughter the necessary tools she needs to thrive. To that end, Athwal founded the Modern Schoolhouse for children from 6 weeks to age 5, which opened in October 2020.
卡什的父母非常重視給女兒提供成長髮育所需的必要工具。為此，阿斯瓦爾在2020年10月開辦了一所名為現代兒童校舍的幼兒園，接收6周到5歲大的孩子。
The preschool aims to mimic a natural home environment so children feel safe and comfortable while learning in the space, she said. In addition to sensory stimulation and play time, students learn things like Spanish, sign language, how to use various technology and yoga.
這所幼兒園旨在模擬天然的家庭環境，讓孩子們在這裏學習的同時感到安全舒適。除了感官刺激和遊戲時間，學生們會學習西班牙語、手語、瑜伽等技能，以及如何運用各種科技。
One of the things they"ve learned while raising Kashe, Athwal said, is how to communicate and be intentional with their words effectively.
阿斯瓦爾説，他們在撫養卡什的過程中學到的一個東西就是如何有效地溝通以及有意地運用自己的語言。
"Aside from her high IQ, she understands emotion, she understands context and the way we communicate," she said. "If we say something incorrectly she"ll be like, "No that"s not what you said," or, "That"s not what it is." She"s always correcting us."
她説：“除了擁有高智商，卡什能理解感情、語境以及我們溝通的方式。如果我們説錯了什麼，她會説：‘你剛才不是這麼説的’或‘你説的不對’。她總是會糾正我們。”
While they encourage Kashe"s development and let her set the pace for what she wants to do, her parents also make sure to keep her balanced. Kashe"s interests include "Frozen," "Paw Patrol," watermelon, swimming, messy paint and science experiments.
在鼓勵卡什按照自己的節奏自由成長的同時，卡什的父母也確保她在各方面平衡發展。卡什對《冰雪奇緣》、《汪汪隊立大功》、西瓜、游泳、彩繪塗鴉和科學實驗都很感興趣。
"Being a child is most important," her mom said. "We want to keep her youthful as long as we can. Socialization and her emotional growth are the most important things for us."
卡什的母親説：“最重要的是讓她好好做個孩子。我們希望儘可能長久地讓她保持一顆年輕的心。她的社會化和情感發展對我們來説是最重要的。”
