两个宝宝成双胞胎 作者：伊娃·瓦伦蒂诺 核心问题 什么是双胞胎？ 他们又有什么特别之处呢？

Introduction. Some of you may have a bossy big brother. Others may have a sweet little sister. What if you have a brother or sister who is the exact same age as you? What if the two of you look identical? This can happen when your brother or sister is your twin.

引言。 你们当中有些人可能有爱使唤人的哥哥。 有些人可能有软乎乎的小妹妹。 要是你有一个和你年纪完全一样的兄弟姐妹呢？ 要是你们俩长得一模一样呢？ 当你的兄弟姐妹是你的双胞胎手足时，就会出现这种情况哦。

Double trouble. Twins grow in their mother's body at the same time. Twins can be two brothers or two sisters. They can also be a brother and a sister. One twin is born first. That twin is slightly older than the other. Twins can look very similar or very different from each other.

双倍小麻烦 双胞胎是同时在妈妈的肚子里长大的。 双胞胎可以是两兄弟，也可以是两姐妹。 他们也可以是一个哥哥和一个妹妹哦。 两个宝宝里总有一个先出生。 先出生的那个会比另一个稍微大一点点。 双胞胎可能长得非常像，也可能长得完全不一样。

Identical twins. Identical twins often look almost exactly alike. They are always either two girls or two boys. It can be difficult to tell identical twins apart. They often have the same height, weight, hair color, and eye color. Some twins look so similar that they can play tricks on others. They can switch places with each other. No one can tell them apart.

同卵双胞胎。 同卵双胞胎通常长得几乎一模一样。 他们要么都是女孩，要么都是男孩。 大家很难把同卵双胞胎区分开。 他们通常身高一致、体重一致、发色和眼睛颜色也一样。 有些双胞胎长得太像了，还会捉弄别人哦。 他们会互换身份。 谁都认不出他们谁是谁。

Identical twins can be mirror image twins. When they face each other, they look very similar, but some of their characteristics are reversed. They might have freckles on different sides of their bodies, or part their hair on different sides. One twin might be left -handed, while the other is right -handed.

同卵双胞胎还可能是镜像双胞胎哦。 当他们面对面站着的时候，看起来特别像， 但他们的有些特征是反过来的。 他们的雀斑可能长在身体的不同侧， 或者头发分缝的方向不一样。 可能一个是左撇子，另一个是右撇子。

Identical twins can be alike in other ways too. They might like the same things, such as music, sports, or foods. They may have similar personalities too. It is also possible for identical twins to not be very alike at all.

同卵双胞胎在其他方面也可能很像。 他们可能喜欢同样的东西，比如音乐、运动或者食物。 他们的性格也可能很相似。 当然，同卵双胞胎也有可能一点都不像哦。
