1、Practice 7A Dream Chaser in a Wheelchair轮椅上的追梦人Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition nearly ended in 2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17-year-old high school senior in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. F

2、or most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight. “I want to prove to everyone including myself that Im still normal,” she said, “whatever normal means.”从三岁起， 切尔西 希尔就梦想着成为一名舞蹈家

3、。2010 年，Hill 遭遇车祸， 这个 17 岁的高中生在医院住了 51 天，腰部以下瘫痪， 她的梦想几乎破灭。对 于大多数人来说， 这个遭遇会摧毁任何舞蹈生涯的希望。但对希尔来说， 这是一 个开始。轮椅并不是障碍，而是在鼓励她去奋斗。“我想向包括我自己在内的所 有人证明，我仍然是正常的，”她说，“无论正常意味着什么。”Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. Half of her body was tak

4、en away from her, so she had to move it with her hands. It took much learning and patience.对她来说， 正常就意味着跳舞， 所以希尔坐着轮椅和其他健全的高中舞蹈队 员一起跳舞。因为半身不遂， 所以她必须用手来移动身体。这需要很多学习和耐 心。After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who were f

5、ighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal (脊椎的) injuries, and invited them to dance with her. To reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes.高中毕业后， 希尔想扩大她的舞蹈群体，让其他和她一样的女性也加入进来。 她在网上认识了一些正在

6、对抗各种脊椎损伤、同样为舞蹈梦想而奋斗的人， 并邀 请他们和她一起跳舞。为了在更大的城市接触到更多的人， 希尔在 2014 年搬到 了洛杉矶，并组建了一支由残疾舞者组成的团队，她称之为 Rollettes。Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their acting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many,

7、it was the first time theyd felt they belonged. Edna Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car. “I didnt know I could do so many things that my fellow teammates had taught me.” she said. “I didnt know I could be sexy. Its so powerful to

8、have my teammates in my life, because theyre my teachers. I have more confidence.”每年， 希尔都会为轮椅使用者举办名为“Rollettes 体验”的舞蹈营， 帮助他 们发挥表演天赋。 2019 年，有来自 10 个国家的 173 名学员参加。对许多人来 说， 这是他们第一次感觉到自己的归属感。 艾德娜 塞拉诺说， 成为 Rollettes 团 队的一员，让她有了勇气去驾驶汽车。“我不知道我可以做这么多事情，我的队 友们教会了我。”她说。“我不知道我可以很性感。在我的生活中， 和队友在一起 是如此强大，因为他们是我

9、的老师。我有了更多的自信。”Chelsie Hill attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She has been chasing her dream in the wheelchair. Shes a dancer. The Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling.切尔西 希尔实现了我们很多人永远无法实现的梦想： 她儿时的梦想。她一 直在轮椅上追逐她的梦想。她是一名舞蹈家。 Rollettes 帮她找到了生命的意义。Prac

10、tice 8Nenad Sestan was working in his office one afternoon in 2016, when he heard his lab members whispering with excitement over a microscope. He realized something beyond their expectations was happening.2016 年的一个下午， 内纳德 塞斯坦正在办公室工作， 他听到实验室成员围 着显微镜兴奋地窃窃私语。他意识到， 发生了一些意想不到的事。The researchers, at Yale

11、School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut, had found electrical activity in brains taken from dead pigs. With that shocking result, Sestan realized what had started as a side project to find ways to better preserve brain tissue for research had changed into a discovery that could redefine our und

12、erstanding of life and death.位于康涅狄格州纽黑文的耶鲁医学院的研究人员在从死猪身上提取的大脑 中发现了电活动。有了这个令人震惊的结果， 塞斯坦意识到， 原本只是为了寻找 如何更好地保存脑组织而进行研究的次级项目， 已经变成了一个重大的发现， 可 以重新定义我们对生与死的理解。The excitement soon turned to concern, when the researchers thought they saw widespread, consistent electrical activity which can indicate consciou

13、sness (意识). Sestan brought in a neurologist, who determined the readout was actually an error, but the possibility had frightened them.当研究人员认为他们看到了普遍稳定的电活动， 而这种电活动可以表明意识 时， 大家的兴奋很快就变成了担忧。塞斯坦请来了一位神经学家， 他认定读数肯 定出错了，但这种可能性已经吓到了他们。Sestan kept his cool and immediately did two things: he shut down the exp

14、eriment and contacted the US National Institute of Health (NIH), as well as a Yale bioethicist (生物伦理学家). Over the next few months, experts discussed the potential ethical implications, such as whether the brains could become conscious and whether physicians needed to reconsider the definition of bra

15、in death.塞斯坦保持冷静， 并立即做了两件事： 他关闭了实验， 并联系了美国国家卫 生研究院(NIH)， 以及耶鲁大学的生物伦理学家。在接下来的几个月里， 专家们 讨论了潜在的伦理意义， 比如大脑是否可以变得有意识， 医生是否需要重新考虑 脑死亡的定义。They submitted the work to Nature. But before the final paper was published, Sestan met sharp criticism from the press. Some even suggested that the researchers were eng

16、ineering immortality (永生), or maintaining a room full of living brains in jars. Neither he nor his team wanted to discuss the results until the paper was out, but as their inboxes filled with concerns and anger from animal rights activists and futurists, Sestan became depressed. He felt all they cou

17、ld do, however, was to hold off on correcting public misunderstandings until the expert review process had run its course.他们将这项工作提交给了自然杂志。但在最终论文发表之前， 塞斯坦遭 到了媒体的尖锐批评。有些人甚至认为， 研究人员是在进行永生工程， 或者是在 器具里维持一屋子的活脑。在论文发表之前，他和他的团队都不想讨论这些结果， 但当他们的邮箱里充斥着来自动物权利主义者和未来学家的担忧和愤怒时，塞斯 坦变得很沮丧。不过， 他觉得他们能做的就是暂缓纠正公众的误解， 直到

18、专家评 审过程结束。Since the paper was published in April, 2019, the team has been so busy fielding questions from the media and scientists that it hasnt performed any further experiments. Sestan wants to focus on his original questions and explore how long the brains can be maintained and whether the techno

19、logy can preserve other organs.自 2019 年 4 月论文发表以来，该团队一直忙于应对媒体和科学家的提问， 以至于没有再进行任何实验。 塞斯坦希望能专注于他最初的问题， 探索大脑可以 维持多久，以及该技术是否可以用于保存其他器官。“We want to get outside opinion before we do anything,” Sestan says. “When you explore uncharted territory, you have to be extremely thoughtful.”“我们希望在做任何事情之前， 先听听外界的意见，

20、”塞斯坦说。“当你探索 未知领域的时候，你必须要考虑得非常周到。”Practice 9The Wolf at the Door门前的狼Russ Fee was asleep inside his tent last summer when a series of screams shocked him awake. Throwing on his shoes, he ran out to investigate. Fee and his wife were travelling through Canadas Banff National Park to enjoy its breathtak

21、ing beauty and awesome wildlife. It was the latter he now experienced. Although it was dark, Fee could see a neighboring tent was in a mess. Backing out was a wolf, dragging something in his teeth. That thing was a man!去年夏天， 拉斯 费正在帐篷里睡觉， 一连串的尖叫声把他惊醒了。 他匆忙 穿上鞋子跑出去看怎么回事。费和他的妻子正在加拿大班夫国家公园旅行， 欣赏 那里的绝美景色

22、和令人赞叹的野生动物。他现在体验的正是后者。虽然天色已晚， 但是费能看到邻近的帐篷一片狼藉。 从帐篷里出来的是一只狼， 嘴里拖着什么东 西。那东西是个男人！Moments earlier, Elisa and Matt Rispoh, from New Jersey, were asleep with their two young children when the wolf broke into their tent. “It was like something out of a horror movie,” Elisa posted on Facebook. “For three mi

23、nutes, Matt threw his body in front of me and the boys and fought against the wolf. At one point, Matt got the upper hand, pinning (压住) the wolf to the ground. But the wolf held its jaw onto Matts arm tightly, set its powerful legs, and began dragging Matt outside while I was pulling on his legs try

24、ing to get him back,” Elisa wrote.几分钟前， 来自新泽西州的艾莉莎和马特 里斯波利带着两个年幼的孩子正 在睡觉， 狼突然闯进了他们的帐篷。“这就像恐怖电影一样，”艾莉莎在 Facebook 上发帖。“有三分钟的时间，马特用他的身体挡在我和孩子们前面，与狼搏斗。有那么一刻，马特占了上风， 将狼压在地上。但是狼狠狠地咬住马特的手臂， 蹬 动它那有力的腿，开始把马特往外面拖，而我则拉着他的腿想把他救回来，”艾 丽莎写道。It was then that Fee entered the picture. He ran at the wolf, kicking it “

25、like I was kicking in a door,” he told ABC New York. The wolf dropped Matt and emerged from the tent. “Wolves are large,” Fee told the radio show Calgary Eyeopener. “I felt like I had hit someone that was way out of my weight class.”就在这时， 费出现了。他向狼跑去，“像在踢门一样”狠狠踢了那匹狼，他和 ABC 纽约说道。狼丢下马特， 从帐篷里出来。“狼的体型很大，

26、”费告诉电台节目 卡尔加里目击者。“我觉得我的对手和我根本不是一个重量级的。”Before the wolf could turn its anger on Fee, Matt, his arms bloodied, flew out of the tent to continue the battle. The men threw rocks at the wolf, forcing it back, then the Fees and the Rispolis escaped to the shelter of the Fees minivan (厢式旅行车). An ambulance

27、was called, and Matt was taken to a local hospital suffering from open wounds. Luckily he has fully recovered. The wolf was tracked down by park officials and killed in a painless way.在狼将怒火转到费身上之前， 双臂血肉模糊的马特， 冲出帐篷继续搏斗。男 人们向狼投掷石块， 逼退了它， 然后费和里斯波利两家人逃到了费的厢式旅行车 里。救护车来了， 马特外伤严重被送往当地医院。幸运的是， 他现在已经完全康 复了。公

28、园管理员追踪到了那匹狼，并以无痛的方式结束了它的生命。As for Fee, whom Elisa called their lifesaver, he does admit to a fleeing (闪现的), if less-than-heroic, thought during the heat of battle. The moment the wolf locked eyes with him, Fee says, “I immediately regretted kicking it.”至于被艾莉莎称为救命恩人的费，他承认在激战中曾闪现过胆怯逃跑的念头。 在狼与他对视的那一刻，费说：“我立刻就后悔踢了它一脚。”学科网（北京）股份有限公司
