BBC环球慢速英语 第561期:国际残疾人日(3)

voice 1: Some people do not like the word "disabled" because it is negative. It is talking about what a person cannot do. They use the words "differently abled". So how different can a person be — before other people feel uncomfortable — not at ease? Why do differences create barriers? And how do people deal with them? In some parts of the world, this is a very serious issue. In fact, in the worst cases, differences lead to death.
声音1：有些人不喜欢“残疾”这个词，因为这有否定意义。残疾指一个人无法做到的事情。他们会用不同能力者这个词。那一个人能有多不同——在其他人感觉不舒服或不自在之前？为什么不同会制造障碍？人们要如何处理？在世界上某些地区，这是非常严重的问题。事实上，在最糟糕的情况下，不同会导致死亡。
