走进博洛塔纳的老年居民家中，这个撒丁岛中部山村有望成为全球第六个“蓝色地带”，因其女性百岁老人数量众多。当乔万娜·马拉斯推开博洛塔纳自己家的门时，她的眼睛因好奇而亮起，正打量着来访者。她的妹妹玛丽安杰拉也探出头来，很快迎请客人进屋并端出冰淇淋招待。两姐妹精神矍铃，谈笑风生。乔万娜今年101岁，玛丽安杰拉99岁。
Meet some of the elderly residents of Bolotana, in line to be the world’s sixth ‘blue zone’ for its high number of female centenarians When Giovanna Marras opens the door to her home in Bolotana, a mountain village in central Sardinia, her eyes are bright with curiosity as she sizes up her visitors. Her sister, Mariangela, peeks out too, soon ushering her guests inside and handing out dishes of ice-cream. The sisters are full of life, talking animatedly. Giovanna is 101 and Mariangela is 99.
在客厅里，乔万娜迅速回顾了自己的人生经历：她在18岁前学业优秀，随后前往意大利岛首都卡利亚里学习裁缝。姐妹俩后来在博洛塔纳经营了一家成功的裁缝店，退休后又环游世界。两人均未婚嫁。
Sitting in their living room, Giovanna swiftly recaps her life story: she excelled at school before moving to Cagliari, the capital of the Italian island, at 18 to train as a seamstress. The sisters went on to run a successful tailoring business in Bolotana before travelling the world after retirement. Neither married.
