   Optimism1

  第8单元 乐观
  I guess I have always been a very motivated person and when my accident happened 11 years ago, I saw it only as a challenge I had to overcome. I was paralyzed2 during a football game. I had only been playing professionally for two and a half years when I was injured.
  我想我一直是个很积极的人,当十一岁那年发生意外时我视这场意外为必须要克服的挑战。我在一场足球比赛中瘫痪。我加入专业球队才两年半就受伤。
  Doctors told me that I would never walk again, but I didn’t listen to them. I listened to my heart. It has taken me over a decade of very challenging and exhausting work but it was well worth it!
  许多医生告诉我,我将永远不良于行,不过我并不相信他们,我顺从自己的心,我花了十年多,接受挑战并竭尽努力,不过这一切都是值得的!
  Not only can I walk but I can water ski, snow ski , hike, kayak and enjoy a life with my wife and daughter. I am also a motivational speaker for people who are overcoming physical challenges.
  现在的我不仅可以走,还可以滑水、滑雪、爬山、泛舟,与我的妻子和女儿一同享受生活。我现在也是个激励人心的演说家,为那些正在克服身体挑战的人演说。
  It is important to have role models in our life. I know that if I didn’t have any, I wouldn’t be where I am today. To be honest, learning to use my body again demanded intense focus, dedication3, love, and above all, optimism. The way I see it optimism is the difference between success and failure.
  对我们这些人来说,在生活中树立典范是很重要的,我知道要是我没有,就不会有现在的我了。老实说,学习重新使用我的身体需要极度的专注、努力、爱,而最重要的就是保持乐观,我乐观以对,造就了我的成功,而不是失败。
