BBC环球慢速英语 第151期:尼克·武伊契奇(2)

voice 2: The whole church mourned over my birth. My parents were deeply troubled. Everyone asked, "If God is a God of love, why would he let something this bad happen?" My father thought I would not survive for very long. But tests proved that I was a healthy baby boy - with just a few limbs missing!
声音2：整个教会为我的出生而哀伤。我的父母深感忧虑。每个人都在问：“假如上帝真是圣爱之神，那他为什么会让如此糟糕的事情发生？”我父亲起初以为我可能活不了多久，但经过检查发现---我是个健康的男婴，只是有些肢体不见了！

Naturally, my parents were concerned about what kind of life I would be able to lead. Through the early years God provided them with strength, wisdom and courage. The law in Australia did not permit me to go to a normal school because of my physical disability. (But) God gave my mother the strength to fight for the law to change. I was one of the first disabled students to go to a normal school!
可想而知的，我的父母对我将来所要面对的生活有着沉重且明显的忧虑与恐惧。上帝给他们力量、智慧和勇气度过了我的幼年岁月。因为我身体残疾，所以澳大利亚法律不允许我上普通学校。但是，上帝给我妈妈力量去争取现行法律的改变。我成为了澳大利亚第一批能进入普通学校的残障学生之一。
