做了一期双胞胎的小视频。网上查了一下:2021年,全美国出生了114161对双胞胎,2785例三胞胎,四胞胎及以上婴儿148例。

1818年,来自康涅狄格州的双胞胎兄弟摩西·威尔科克斯 (Moses Wilcox) 和亚伦·威尔科克斯 (Aaron Wilcox)在俄亥俄克利夫兰附近,购买了 4000 英亩的土地,然后分成小块出售。他俩还提出个条件,如果购买土地的人同意将新的小镇命名为特温斯堡,英文是Twinsburg,有双胞胎的意思,兄弟俩将捐出6英亩地作为公共广场,另外还再捐20美元,办一所学校。由此有了特温斯堡镇。直到今天,镇子也不算大,人口不到2万。

据说,摩西和亚伦长得非常像,只有他们最好的朋友才能区分。两人一直合伙做生意,他们的妻子是一对姐妹,两家生有一样多子女,后来患有同样的疾病,并且相隔仅几个小时去世,兄弟俩被埋葬在特温斯堡公墓的同一个墓中。

1976年,美国建国200周年时,小镇为纪念创建人摩西兄弟,举办了“双胞胎日”。第二年,热心人决定继续举办,邀请了38对双胞胎参加。此后,发展成每年8月的第一个周末举办的“双胞胎节”。到今年已经是第48届。据统计,已经86000对来自全美和其他国家的双胞胎和多胞胎来到这里参加。参加者的年龄最小只有几个月大,最大的已经80多岁。
