31.Defeat Disability戰勝殘疾
Yang’s ambition was to get an architect certificate or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled.
陽的雄心是,要麼獲得一張建築師證書,要麼成為一名保齡球
高手。但是在地下室裡的顯微鏡下進行試驗時,放在長凳上的一隻大桶突然爆炸,把他從出口處炸飛了出去。當知道自己除了失去70%的聽力之外,還失去了視力時,他完全喘不過氣來。換句話說,他殘疾了。
Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or
tortoise silently. His sister
resigned to help him
in many ways. Her
assistance and
encouragement were so
beneficial to his
psychology that he
adapted
to his
disability soon and became
outgoing again. In a college
accessible to him, he studied
politics and
literature. He always sat in the front
row near the
entry without any
absence and, with the help of his
handy laptop, he studied well by means of
dictation. His thesis,
Abolishing
Slavery,
met with all professors’
approval. After class, he and his
companions often played
drum music, which was
noisy but
suitable for his hearing. After
graduation, he made high
profits by designing
software for a
firm.
All in all, in his
community, he won his
dignity and people’s
congratulations.
最初,儘管沒人取笑他,他還是非常氣惱於自己的笨拙。他取消了外出,總是在家裡閒坐,和他的鸚鵡和烏龜默默相對。他的姐姐辭了職,用許多方式幫助他。她的幫助
和鼓勵對他的心理是如此地有益,以致他很快就適應了自己的殘疾,再次變得外向起來。他在一所接受他就讀的學校裡學習政治和文學,總是坐在靠近入口的前排,從不缺席。在他輕便好用的手提電腦的幫助下,他用聽寫的方式學習得很好。他的論文《廢除奴隸制》受到所有教授的一致認可。課後,他和
夥伴們還常常演奏
大聲卻
適合他聽覺的
鼓樂。
畢業後,他通過設計
軟件為一家
公司獲得很高的
利潤。
總之,在他的
社區裡,他贏得了自己的
尊嚴和人們的
祝賀。
He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them, “Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.”
他一直都把所有最好祝願給予他殘疾的同伴,並鼓勵他們:“沒關係
,你擁有的一切一定足夠你取得自己的成就!”
