有位老奶奶做了一件相當特別的事來慶祝她的 90 歲生日———她從飛機上跳了下來。來自英國的雪莉·羅賓遜體驗了一次跳傘，這是家人送給她的生日禮物。

Her grandson Matthew said that the family were talking about what to getRobinson for her 90th birthday， and suggested ideas such as bungee3 jumpingand skydiving， as a joke. But to her family’s surprise， Robinson decided4 totry skydiving.

羅賓遜的孫子馬修說，一家人正在討論給她的90 歲生日買什么禮物，并開玩笑地提出了蹦極和跳傘等想法。但令家人驚訝的是，羅賓遜決定嘗試跳傘。

“I went for the skydiving as I thought it would be more gentle5 than a bungeejump，”she said in an interview with . Robinson jumped out of the planeand an instructor6 was with her to make sure it was safe.

“我選擇跳傘，是因為我以為這比蹦極要和緩一些。”她在接受英國廣播公司新聞頻道的采訪時說。羅賓遜跳下飛機，一名教練和她一起跳以確保安全。

This isn’t the first time that Robinson has celebrated a birthday high up in theair， as she went on a hot air balloon trip for her 70th birthday. But this time， shedecided to use her time in the sky to help others， too.

這已經不是羅賓遜第一次在高空慶祝生日了，因為她在70 歲生日時進行了熱氣球旅行。但是這一次，她還決定用她在空中的時間去幫助他人。

Robinson used her skydiving to raise money for a charity that helps homeless7people in the UK. So far， she has raised over $6，200 for the charity. Skydiving at 90years old is impressive8， but Robinson is not the oldest person to have ever done it.A 103-year-old woman from Sweden is the oldest person to have done a skydiving.

羅賓遜利用跳傘為一家慈善機構籌集資金，這家機構旨在幫助英國無家可歸的人。到目前為止，她已經為慈善機構籌集了6200 多美元。90 歲高齡跳傘令人印象深刻，但羅賓遜并不是參與這項運動最年長的人。瑞典一名103 歲的老婦人是完成跳傘最年長的人。
