People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 —— the highest score ever recorded.
结构：
People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228 —— the highest score ever recorded.
译文：
邀请人们向玛丽莲·沃斯·莎凡特提问，她10岁时测定的脑力水平相当于一个23岁的人，智商高达228 ——有史以来最高水平。
翻译思路:
这个文章，典型的故事开头方式，非常引人入胜。用一个著名的杂志Parade的著名专栏作为铺垫。
Parade这个杂志，查了查，总觉得还是翻译为《大观》最为好听。另外那个著名的专栏女主持Marilyn vos Savant玛丽莲·沃斯·莎凡特，如果问问百度或者Google，啥都有，超迷人。

So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What’s the difference between love and fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence?

It’s not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.
