BBC环球慢速英语 第124期:假体带来的希望(3)

voice 1: Later, he accepted a job at a secret United States government organisation — the CIA. Here, Robert did not use his talent to create art. Instead, he used his skills to help the spies who worked for the CIA. He worked hard to create disguises that could completely change a person’s appearance — the way the person looked.
声音1：后来，他接受了美国政府的秘密机构中央情报局提供的一份工作。但是，罗伯特在中央情报局并没有用他的天赋创造艺术。而是用他的技能帮助为中央情报局工作的特工。他努力创造可以完全改变一个人外貌的伪装物，目的是改变一个人的样貌。

voice 2: One day he went to a conference to learn how to improve the disguises that he made. He met many people there who were experts in the design of false body parts. This branch of engineering is called prosthetics. The experts wanted to build prosthetic arms, legs, and other body parts. They wanted to help people in need.
声音2：有一天，他参加了一个会议，在那里他学习了如何改进他所制造的伪装物。他认识了许多设计人体假体的专家。这个工程学分支叫做假体制作。这些专家希望制作出假臂、假肢和身体其他部位的假体。他们想帮助有需要的人们。

Robert saw many pictures of people who had suffered terrible changes to their appearance. Some had lost noses and skin because of disease. Others had lost body parts through accidents. Seeing these things had a strong effect on Robert. When he left the CIA he decided to use his talent for making disguises to help people who suffered with these problems.
罗伯特看到了许多外表遭遇可怕改变的人们的照片。有些人因为疾病失去了鼻子和皮肤。还有人因为遭遇事故而失去了部分身体部位。这些照片对罗伯特产生了很大的影响。他离开中央情报局以后，决定用他的天赋制造伪装物，帮助遭受这些问题的人。
