A seven-year old girl who weeps stones is baffling doctors who are unable to say what is causing the phenomenon.

一名七岁的小女孩眼中竟哭出石头,这使得医生们十分困然,谁都说不出究竟是什么导致了这种现象的发生。

This Indian girl, Kura Nitya, has been weeping stones from her right eye since October 26, according to newspaperTamil Nesan.

根据淡米尔尼申报的报道,这名印第安女孩卡莱尼娅从10月26号开始就从她的右眼里哭出石头。

Her grandfather commented: "Initially, we thought it was some divine power and prayed to God for this phenomenon to stop."

其祖父说道:"最初我们以为是某种神的力量,于是便向上苍祷告祈求停止这种情况。"

Nitya apparently cries between 12 and 25 stones a day, and said that her right eye swells before they painlessly fall out.

尼娅每天能哭出12到25块石头,她说石头流出来时并不会带来痛感,只是右眼会在"哭石"之前变得肿胀。

Despite the oddity, an ophthalmologist has declared the young girl medically fit.

虽然事情十分蹊跷,但一位眼科医生却声称这个小女孩从医学上看十分健康。
