“This was a really bad thing,” says Bobby Shafran, 56, one of the triplets featured in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.
“这真是一件很糟糕的事情，”56岁的Bobby Shafran说，他是本周《人物》杂志中介绍的三胞胎之一。
Released by CNN Films and I, Tonya distributor NEON, the documentary (which won the award for best story telling at Sundance Film Festival in January) details the tragedy the brothers suffered before learning about a sinister psychological experiment that purposefully separated them at 6 months old so doctors and researchers could study the effects of nature vs. nurture – how much of a person’s personality is shaped by heredity or environment.
CNN 影业和《我叫Tonya》的发行公司 Neon，联合发行了这部纪录片（这部电影在一月在Sundance电影节上获得最佳故事奖）。它详细描述了兄弟们在获知这个阴险的心里实验前的痛苦经历。 他们在6个月大的时候故意被分开，医生和研究人员借此机会，研究先天和后天对人的影响，看一个人的性格是由遗传决定的，还是由后天的环境塑造的。
“I think it’s impossible to overstate the impact that it had on them,” says director Tim Wardle.
“我认为这对他们的影响是巨大的，”导演Tim Wardle说。
Born to a teenage mother in 1961 at a Long Island hospital, the babies (they were born rare identical quadruplets but one baby died in childbirth) were placed in three different homes with parents from different socioeconomic backgrounds by the now-defunct Louise Wise Services in Manhattan.
他们于1961年出生于长岛的一家医院（他们出生时是罕见的同卵四胞胎，但一个婴儿在分娩时就死亡了），母亲是一个十几岁的女孩，他们在婴儿时由在曼哈顿的现已关闭的Louise Wise机构安置在三个社会经济背景不同的家庭中。
Quadruplets： 四胞胎
The triplets – and a still unknown number of identical siblings – were split apart by design after the late Dr. Viola Bernard, a psychiatrist and consultant to the adoption agency, said she believed it was in the children’s best interest to live in different homes so they wouldn’t have to compete for their adoptive parents’ attention.
三胞胎和尚所未知的多少个其他的多胞胎 - 被Viola Bernard博士有意分开。 Bernard是收养机构的精神病医生兼顾问。她认为，在不同的家庭里生活是为了孩子们的利益，这样他们不必为养父母们的关注而争。
Based on Bernard’s advice, the late renowned psychiatrist Dr. Peter Neubauer of the Manhattan Child Development Center (which has since merged with the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services) and his team of researchers set out to study the children, visiting each of them, taking copious notes, giving them psychological tests and even filming them doing everything from riding bikes to jumping on their pogo sticks.
根据Bernard的建议，后与犹太家庭和儿童服务委员会合并了的曼哈顿儿童发展中心的已故著名精神病医生Peter Neubauer博士和他的研究小组开始研究孩子们，访问他们每人，做详细的笔记，并给他们做心理测试，甚至还将他们从骑自行车、到他们跳弹簧单高跷都录制影像资料。
Studying the children was “an opportunity,” Natasha Josefowitz, Neubauer’s research assistant, says in the film, who adds that in the late 1950s “this was not something that seemed to be bad.”
研究这些儿童是一个“机会”，Neubauer的研究助理Natasha Josefowitz在影片中说，在20世纪50年代末，“这在当时，并不是看起来那么坏的一件事。”
