　　席尔瓦是一名有理想的模特，她身高达6英尺8英寸。席尔瓦与身高5英尺4英寸的男友已经相恋3年多了。

　　这对热恋爱人已经在巴西小镇萨利诺波利斯生活了一年多的时间，有望步入婚姻殿堂、迎接爱的小生命。

　　Elisany is so stuck on having a child that she is willing to adopt if she does not fall pregnant soon - despite being only 18.

　　席尔瓦尽管只有18岁，但却如此热切地想要个孩子，她甚至还说如果自己不能尽快怀孕，就会去领养小孩。

　　The youngster is worried that she may not conceive because of a form of gigantism that was caused when a tumour grew on her pituitary gland.

　　虽然席尔瓦已经备好了新婚礼服，但二人计划履行一个漫长的婚约。这对刚刚订婚的恋人并不总是看法完全一致，弗兰奇纳尔多必须努力奋斗，才有能力把戒指戴在席尔瓦的手指上。

　　When we met I had already turned 16, she said. I was still a bit childish and so I was just playing around with him for a while and I got so annoyed with him - as if he was a rival that I hated. I just didn t like him and wanted to hit him every time we met.

　　我们相遇时我16岁， 席尔瓦说，当时我还有些孩子气，在他身边玩耍时、感觉他很讨厌，就好像他是我憎恶的敌人一样。当时我就是不喜欢他，每次遇见他都想要揍他一顿。

　　But little Francinaldo has a big heart and remembers their meeting a little differently. He said: The first time I saw her I went to get some bread and I noticed her from a distance. I checked her out and she also checked me out straight away. Then I just thought, I need to be with that girl . I always found her beautiful.

　　然而小男友弗兰奇纳尔多却胸怀宽广，在他的记忆中二人的相遇有一点特别。他说，我第一次看见她的时候，当时我正要去取点面包，然后就注意到了远处的她。我盯着她看，她也盯着我看。那时候我就想我要和她在一起，我一直觉得她很漂亮。
