講解

An amputee is someone who has had all or part of an arm or a leg amputated.

Here is an example:
Three American amputee war veterans have climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
三名截肢的美國戰(zhàn)場老兵登上了坦桑尼亞境內(nèi)的乞力馬扎羅山。

今天我們要講的是一個(gè)被截肢的女孩兒的故事。

The girl's name is Gabi Shull. She is living in the United States.

When Gabi Shull was only nine years old, she had to have part of her leg amputated(截肢) due to osteosarcoma（骨肉瘤）, a type of bone cancer that affected her knee.

這個(gè)9歲的小女孩，因?yàn)楣前┎坏貌蛔鼋刂中g(shù)。

The cancer was found when Gabi had an x-ray after injuring herself ice-skating. 最后她不得不放棄自己的腿，保住自己的生命。她是一個(gè)愛跳舞的女孩。

此刻人們都認(rèn)為這個(gè)愛笑愛跳的女孩從此不能再跳舞了。但Gabi用實(shí)際行動告訴所有人：“你們錯(cuò)了”

The little girl had a revolutionary form of surgery called rotationplasty.

這個(gè)手術(shù)給了Gabi一條假肢。這個(gè)假肢可以旋轉(zhuǎn)180度，這讓Gabi可以繼續(xù)跳舞。

And that's exactly what Gabi is doing! She takes pointe, hip-hop, tap, jazz, contemporary and lyrical，dance classes, and she also dances competitively.

雖然被截肢失去了一條腿，但Gabi的舞蹈生涯還在繼續(xù)。

這場病痛也讓她更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

She is also a national spokesperson for a children's cancer awareness organization called The Truth 365.

病痛能夠擊垮一個(gè)人，也能夠讓一個(gè)人更加堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。

So, work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

就像這個(gè)女孩Gabi一樣。Could this girl be any more awesome? I think not.
