A black mum-of-three was left baffled after giving birth to a white, red-haired child with blue eyes.
一位有着三个孩子的黑人妈妈，在生下了一个白皮肤、红头发、蓝眼睛的孩子之后，对此困惑不已。
Patience Chando and white partner Andreas Spillea thought their daughter's pale complexion would darken in the days after her birth - but the youngster is continuing to turn heads.
此前，佩兴斯·尚多和她的白人配偶安德烈亚斯·施皮勒都认为，他们女儿的白色皮肤会在出生后几天慢慢变黑，但这个小家伙却一直如此。
Patience said: "I couldn't believe it. Her skin was too white when she was born, I was sure it would tone down, which happens sometimes, but it hasn't.”
佩兴斯说，“我真的不敢相信。出生时她的皮肤太白了，我相信她会慢慢变黑的，这样的情况也时有发生，但是她现在也没有。”

"It wasn't until a few days after she was born I started to think: 'hold on, her skin was white. I'm her biological mother and I'm black'."
“直到她出生几天后，我才开始发现，'等一下，她的皮肤是白色的。我是她的生母，可我是黑人'。”
"Every time we go out I get questioned or stopped for photographs. I'm running out of things to say to people. She's the centre of attraction."
“每次我们出门，我都会被人询问或者要求合影。我需要一直对人们解释。她永远是被人关注的焦点。”
Patience added: "My friends keep joking that a mother is out there looking for their baby, and one day they will find us."
佩兴斯补充称：“我的朋友们还一直开玩笑说，有个母亲正在找她的孩子，不消一天她们就要找上门来。”
Patience said that she has traced her ancestry but found no white heritage in her family, despite experts saying this could be behind her daughter's creamy complexion.
佩兴斯表示查询了她自己的家庭史，但并未在家族中找到白人血统，尽管有专家称她女儿的白皮肤可能是受此影响。
