還在教數學的紐約百歲教師
New York teacher still doing the math at 100
She was born while Europe was fighting World War I, but age is just a number to one New York math teacher, still going strong and celebrating her 100th birthday.
她出生時，歐洲正在打第一次世界大戰，但年齡對這位紐約數學老師來說只是一個數字，她已歡度100歲生日，身體依舊強健。
Madeline Scotto, who turned 100 on Thursday, works almost every day as a math coach at the Catholic school in Brooklyn where she was in the graduating class of 1928.
16日屆滿100歲的史柯多，幾乎每天都在布魯克林的一家天主教學校擔任數學老師，她是那個學校1928年畢業班的學生。
She was off Friday celebrating her birthday, but would be back at work on Monday morning, said a representative at St Ephrem School.
聖艾夫倫學校的一位代表說，她17日休假慶祝生日，但周一 (20日)上午就會重返工作崗位。
The sprightly Scotto told the DNAinfo website she couldn't believe how the years had raced by.
生氣蓬勃的史柯多告訴DNAinfo網站，時光飛逝令人難以置信。
"Last year I thought, 'this can't be, that I'm going to be 100.' I sat down and did the math actually!"
她說：「去年的時候我還在想，『不可能，我怎麼可能快100歲了。』我坐下來，好好地算了一下。」
St Ephrem's congratulated Scotto on its Facebook page.
聖艾夫倫學校在臉書網頁上為她慶生。
"Many students through the generations have been influenced by this amazing woman," it wrote.
上面寫著：「這位不可思議的女人影響了許多世代的眾多學生。」
