人们经常问我,抚养一个身体残缺的孩子是什么感受,其实这就像……这就像你准备去意大利这个很多人向往的国家旅行。你会买很多旅行指南之类的书,然后周密地计划好一切:罗马竞技场、米开朗基罗的大卫雕像、威尼斯的小船。你会主动地去学一些意大利语。一切都是那么激动人心。在焦急地企盼了几个月之后。那一天终于来临了。你背上行囊,兴致勃勃地离开家。 People often ask me what it takes to raise a physically disabled child. Actually it’s like ... it’s like you are going to Italy, the country many aspire to. You’ll buy lots of books like travel guides and plan everything carefully: the Coliseum in Rome, the statue of David by Michelangelo, the boat in Venice. You will take the initiative to learn some Italian. Everything is so exciting. After anxiously anticipated for a few months. That day has finally arrived. You backpack, happily leave home.
