染整专业英语第二版课文翻译第二单元

Hi, my name is Marry Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in

a million". In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have

a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as

quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop

things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don't know how to

make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my

disability. My motto is: live One day at a time.

Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb

trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing

professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup.

Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football

from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests.

I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests,

including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked

at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a

name and it is difficult to know what the future holds.

One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So

sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of

breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs.

Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every

time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the

others.

My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have

accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make

me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy

to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My

ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up.

Last year invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to

buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling

sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my

friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a

tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot

of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially

if I have been away for a while.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and

become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has

been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it

would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying.

So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don't ignore

them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to

live as rich and full a life as you do.

Thank you for reading my story.

马丁的故事

嗨,我的名字就是马丁。费尔丁和我猜猜你可以说道我就是“万中挑一。换句话说,没

很多象我这样的人。你看看,我存有一个肌肉疾病,这并使我较弱,所以我不能走或爬楼梯,

就像是其他的人。此外,有时我很笨手笨脚上升,事物或撞家具。意外的就是,医生们不晓

得如何使自己显得更幸福,但我非常的亲善,并且已经学会适应环境我的障碍。我的座右铭

就是:过不好生活中的每一天。

直到我十岁的时候我相同于其他人一样。我过去爬树,游泳和踢足球。事实上,我常常

渴望发挥专业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我能

只喜欢足球长凳上在体育馆里。最后我走进医院医疗试验。我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。

我想我至少有10亿测试,包括在其中,他们剪断出块肌肉从我的腿而且看一看在显微镜下

观察。即使听完了所有,没人能给我的病一个名字,很难知道以后会发生什么吧。”

所遭遇的一个问题就是我看上去不任何与别人相同。所以有时候有些孩子可以苦笑我

的小学,我踏进跑步后体温长角球,不得不停下歇息爬到至楼梯的一半。有时我很弱,所以

我回去学校教育的痛苦。每次我回去,我深感在返回笨,是因为我就是在别人后面了。

我的生活是很容易在高中,因为同学们已经接受了我。那些无法看到真正的人,在我的

身体不使我很烦,我对它们不予理会。总之我有一个好的生活。我很高兴地发现许多事情

我能做的事,比如写作和计算机编程。我的愿望是为一家公司工作开展计算机软件,当我长

大。去年我发明了一种计算机的足球比赛和一个大公司决定购买我。我有一个非常忙碌的

生活没有时间坐着为自己难过。以及在看电影和橄榄球场比赛,我的朋友,我花很多时间和

我的宠物。我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。照看我的宠物正确需要

很多的时间,而且我发现它值得的。我也要做很多工作,特别是我已经离开一会儿。

在很多方面,我的残疾并使我更弱的心理,可以显得更加单一制。我必须努力工作去过

一个正常的生活了,但是它就是应该的。如果我存有机会说道一件事对身心健康的孩子,那

就是:存有残疾并不意味著你目前的生活很不令人满意。所以不要遗憾身心障碍者或嘲笑

他们,不要忽略这些标准。只拒绝接受他们,给他们引导多样的生活使你的生活。
