艾米穆林斯是一位美国运动员、演员和演说家。她生来就有一种疾病,导致双腿截肢。她以第一个在全国大学生体育协会的比赛中与健全运动员竞争的截肢运动员而闻名,并参加了1996年在亚特兰大举行的残奥会。
I've had journalists asking me, 'What do we call you - is it handicapped, are you disabled, physically challenged?' I said, 'Well hopefully you could just call me Aimee. But if you have to describe it, I'm a bilateral below-the-knee amputee.'
我有记者问我,'我们怎么称呼你-残障人士,您是否有残障,身体残障? 我说,'希望您能叫我艾米。 但是,如果您必须描述一下,我是一位双边膝盖以下截肢者。 '
I'm not an advocate for disability issues. Human issues are what interest me. You can't possibly speak for a diverse group of people. I don't know what it's like to be an arm amputee, or have even one flesh-and-bone leg, or to have cerebral palsy.
我不是残疾问题的拥护者。 人的问题使我感兴趣。 您不可能代表各种各样的人。 我不知道成为手臂截肢者,什至没有一条肉骨腿或脑瘫是什么感觉。
The idea of prosthetics is a tool. Most people's cell phones are prosthetics. If you leave your cell phone at home, you feel impacted by not having it. It's an important part of your daily function and what you can do in a day.
假肢的想法是一种工具。 大多数人的手机都是假肢。 如果您将手机留在家中,那么您会因为没有手机而受到影响。 这是您日常工作的重要组成部分,也是您一天中可以做的事情。
