It was a plot twist Marcela Del Sol, an accomplished writer, never saw coming – she would wake up in hospital following a car accident and have to share her body with seven other 'people' with their own very distinct personalities.
瑪塞拉?德?tīng)査鳡柺且晃活H有成就的作家，她從未想到過(guò)自己的人生會(huì)出現(xiàn)這樣一個(gè)情節(jié)——她遭遇了一場(chǎng)車禍，在醫(yī)院醒來(lái)后發(fā)現(xiàn)其他七個(gè)性格迥異的“人”住在自己的身體里。

The 43-year-old mother-of-two was driving her car along a highway in Charlestown near Newcastle, in mid July, 2013, when it broke down - she moved to the side of the road and another car crashed into the back of her.
這位43歲的母親有兩個(gè)孩子，2013年七月中旬的一天，她駕車行駛在紐卡斯?fàn)柛浇牟闋査诡D小鎮(zhèn)公路上。她的車半路拋錨了，于是她把車開(kāi)到路邊，這時(shí)另外一輛汽車追尾撞上了她的車。

Both cars were written off, she suffered major whiplash and her dissociative personality disorder (also known as multiple personality disorder) was triggered - giving life to C, L, T, M, M/B and twins A and B.

Marcela told Daily Mail Australia she started getting symptoms in 'late 2013' realising something wasn't right when people started to call her by other names – names she now recognises as her alter egos.
瑪塞拉接受澳大利亞版《每日郵報(bào)》采訪時(shí)說(shuō)，她在2013年年底時(shí)開(kāi)始出現(xiàn)一些癥狀，那時(shí)有人叫錯(cuò)她的名字，她感到不太對(duì)勁?，F(xiàn)在她才知道那是自己多重人格的名字。

瑪塞拉的多重人格會(huì)保護(hù)她和她的孩子免受傷害。22年前她從智利搬到澳大利亞后遭到了性侵和持刀劫持等傷害，這些痛苦的經(jīng)歷誘發(fā)了她的多重人格。

有的人格甚至讓瑪塞拉突破自己的生理限制，比如讓她達(dá)到了標(biāo)準(zhǔn)視力，不用戴隱形眼鏡或者普通眼鏡了。

她也指出，雖然別人的處理方法或許會(huì)和她的不同，但是這些年來(lái)她懂得了溝通是與自己的多重人格相處的關(guān)鍵方法。
