   Like many 12-year-old girls, McKenzie Carey loves to dance. And though McKenzie has a rare genetic disease that keeps her in a wheelchair, she has a devoted dance partner in her father, who's waltzed her through many local pageants.

  和许多12岁女孩一样,麦肯齐·凯利热爱跳舞。尽管麦肯齐因身患罕见的基因疾病而无法离开轮椅,但她忠诚的舞伴——她的父亲还是带她在本地的许多舞蹈比赛上跳起华尔兹。
  McKenzie has mitochondrial disease, a debilitating condition that deprives the body of energy and damages cells in the heart, liver, skeletal muscles, respiratory systems and brain.
  麦肯齐患有线粒体疾病,这种疾病会让人丧失大量能量,并损伤心脏、肝脏、骨骼肌、呼吸系统和大脑等部位的细胞,从而使人衰弱。
  'Dancing with daddy makes her feel like she’s on top of the world,' her father, Mike Carey, told Today.com.
  她的父亲麦克·凯利告诉Today.com:“和爸爸一起跳舞让她觉得无比幸福。”
  'Pageants give her the same opportunity as other children and show people that she can accomplish anything with a little bit of help,' her mother, Tammy Carey, added. 'I just want the judges to look at her, not her wheelchair.'
  “舞蹈比赛给了她和其他孩子同样的机会,让她能够在人们面前展示:只要一点点帮助,她就能完成任何事。” 她的母亲塔米·凯利补充道,“我只希望裁判们能看她,而不是她的轮椅。”
  Ms Carey began entering McKenzie in pageants when she was five but it wasn't until 2010 that her father began joining her onstage.
  凯利夫人在麦肯齐5岁的时候开始替她报名参加舞蹈比赛。2010年起,麦肯齐的父亲开始和她一起在舞台上跳舞。
  'My wife was sitting in the audience and was so stressed about McKenzie, so I decided to do something a little crazy,' Mr Carey told Today.com.
  凯利先生告诉Today.com:“我太太和观众坐在一起,因为麦肯齐而非常紧张。因此我决定做件有点疯狂的事。”
  'I took McKenzie up on stage and did a wheelie with her wheelchair. Then I spun her around, picked her up and started doing a freestyle dance. The crowd went wild and gave us a standing ovation!'
  “我带着麦肯齐走上舞台,用她的轮椅做了一个抬头特技(类似摩托车抬起前轮)。接着我旋转她,抱起她,跳起自由式舞蹈。观众们变得疯狂起来,为我们起立鼓掌。”
  McKenzie has competed in more than 100 pageants, and won about 20. The family is currently preparing for a national pageant in Nebraska.
  麦肯齐参加了100多场舞蹈比赛,赢了大约20场。凯利一家现在正在准备在内布拉斯加州举行的一场全国比赛。
  'If I get one person [inspired], it made the whole song and whole thing worthwhile,' Mr Carey told ABCNews.com. 'It’s like an unspoken message. This dance is alike an unspoken testimony and shows bond and love between a father and daughter.'
  “如果我能让一个人感动,那整首歌整件事就是值得的”,凯利先生告诉ABCNews.com,“这就像无声的讯息。这支舞是父女间爱与牵绊的无声宣言。”

  凯利一家制做了GoFundMe网页来为麦肯齐的治疗募捐。目前已收到8万6千美元的捐赠。
