美国父亲抱脑瘫女儿参加铁人三项比赛

A devoted father has completed a triathlon carrying his 13-year-old cerebral palsy-afflicted daughter across land and through water so that she could complete the gruelling event.
一位尽职的父亲带着他患有脑瘫的13岁女儿，跋山涉水一起完成了累人的铁人三项比赛。

Rick van Beek's feat of endurance and show of love for his daughter Madison have led many to call the man from Byron Center, Michigan the 'father of the century'.
瑞克·范·比克来自美国密歇根州拜伦中心，他完成的这项壮举展现了他惊人的耐力和对女儿麦迪逊深深的爱意，这使得许多人称他为“这个世纪最好的父亲”。

But it is not the first race of its kind for van Beek, who said he has participated in more than 70 events, including half-marathons, triathlons and other outdoor races, as part of 'Team Maddy'.
但这不是范·比克第一次这样做了，他说他和女儿一起，以“麦蒂之队”的父女组名义参加过半程马拉松、铁人三项和许多别的户外运动。

He and Maddy took part in the Sanford and Sun sprint triathlon on Sunday. Together they completed the 0.3-mile swim, 12.4-mile bike ride and 3.1-mile run, with Maddy pictured in her father's arms as they transitioned from section to section.
他和女儿麦蒂一起在上周日参加了全力冲刺的铁人三项比赛。他们一起完成了0.3英里的游泳，12.4英里的自行车骑行和3.1公里的跑步，比赛项目间交接时，麦蒂都会和父亲一起拍照留念。

For the swimming portion, van Beek tugs his daughter through the water in a kayak and then pulls her behind him in a cart as he cycles. He runs the last leg pushing her in a buggy.
在游泳部分，范·比克将女儿放在一个皮划艇中，边游边拖着皮划艇前进。在骑自行车时，比克的女儿被放在一个二轮手推车里，接在自行车后。跑步时，比克边跑边推着童车里的女儿前进。

Van Beek, 39, told the Midland Daily News that he wants to complete the events with his daughter, who is unable to walk or talk, because she adores being outside.
现年39岁的范·比克告诉《米兰德每日新闻》说，他之所以想要和不能行走也不能说话的女儿一起完成这些项目是因为女儿特别喜欢呆在户外。

She functions like a three-month-old, and one of the very few things that we know she enjoys is being outside, being in the water, feeling the breeze in her hair and in her face,' he said.
比克说：“她的行为能力和三个月大婴儿一样，她喜欢做的事情也很少，但我们知道她喜欢呆在户外，呆在水中，感受吹在她头发和脸上的微风。”
