THE SUPERHERO

BEHIND SUPERMAN

The story of Christopher Reeve's life is one that is almost impossible to imagine—from a wildly successful Hollywood career, to the horror① of life­threatening② injury; Reeve experienced both.Thus③， not only is he known as a superhero in the Superman films, but he is also regarded as④ a superhero to many in real life.[1]

[1]not only...but also...不但……而且……；not only置于句首，句子用部分倒装。

Reeve was born on 25 September, 1952 in New York—the son of Franklin Reeve, a teacher and novelist⑤， and Barbara Pitney, a journalist⑥.He found his passion⑦ in acting and starred in⑧ his first school play at the age of eight.Although he believed he would only ever act on stage, Reeve tried out for⑨， and was eventually⑩ given the lead role in a Superman film.[2]

[2]although引导让步状语从句。

Reeve starred in four Superman films from 1978 to 1987.He realised that his roles in these films had given him the opportunity⑪ to be a real­life⑫ superman, and he soon gained a reputation⑬ for raising awareness⑭ for good causes⑮.He visited sick children in hospitals and worked with organisations⑯ such as Save the Children, speaking out⑰ about health, education and child protection to help those most in need.

Unfortunately, in 1995 disaster⑱ struck⑲ Reeve.While horseback riding, he was thrown off his horse and broke his neck.His injuries were so severe⑳ that he had no movement or feeling in his body at all and even needed a machine to help him breathe.[3] At first, his doctors did not believe that he would survive.During this time, Reeve felt like he had lost all hope.Having once been a healthy and successful young man to being trapped in a broken body was like a living nightmare to him.He admitted that during the early stages of living with his injury, he wished that he was dead and even thought of ending his own life.He fell into a depression which lasted for many months.It was only due to the ongoing support of his wife, parents and friends that he eventually found the will to live again.[4] For the years that followed he focused his attention on his goal of one day walking again.

[3]so...that...如此……以至于。

[4]本句是一个强调句，强调原因状语。

With a new sense of energy and commitment， Reeve undertook an intense exercise programme to help him achieve this goal.He engaged in a wide range ofexercises designed to rebuild muscle, and made remarkableprogress.Shortly after， he managed to return to his film career by directing, producing and even starring in films.He also wrote a biography and returned to his charity work.Reeve became a passionate and energetic advocate for people with back injuries and disabilities， raising millions of dollars in support of medical research.“What I do is based on powers we all have inside us...and you don't have to be a ‘superman’ to do it.” His positive attitude inspired many people who were stuck in illness.“With the progress of new medical research, I'm confident that people like me would be able to walk again one day.So you can see, I'm too busy with living to think of giving up！”

Sadly, on 10 October, 2004, Christopher Reeve passed away.He will always be remembered as a superhero—in more ways than one.

《超人》背后的

超级英雄

克里斯托弗·里夫的一生是一个几乎无法想象的故事，从一个极其成功的好莱坞职业生涯，到危及生命的伤害的恐怖；里夫这两者都经历了。因此，他不仅在超人电影中被称为超级英雄，而且在现实生活中也被许多人视为超级英雄。

里夫1952年9月25日出生于纽约，是教师兼小说家富兰克林·里夫和记者芭芭拉·皮特尼的儿子。他在表演中找到了激情，并在八岁时主演了他的第一部学校戏剧。尽管他相信自己只会在舞台上出演，但里夫还是参加选拔，并最终获得了超人电影的主角。

里夫从1978年到1987年主演四部超人电影。他意识到自己在这些电影中的角色让他有机会成为一个现实生活中的超人，他很快就以提高人们对公益事业的认识而闻名。他到医院探望患病儿童，并与拯救儿童组织合作，畅谈健康、教育和儿童保护，帮助那些最需要帮助的人。

不幸的是，1995年灾难袭击了里夫。骑马时，他从马上摔下来摔断了脖子。他的伤势很严重，身体一点不能动也没有感觉，甚至需要一台机器来帮助他呼吸。起初，他的医生不相信他会活下来。在这段时间里，里夫觉得自己失去了一切希望。曾经是一个健康成功的年轻人，却被困在破碎的身体里，这对他来说就像是一个活生生的噩梦。他承认，在受伤的早期阶段，他希望自己死了，甚至想过结束自己的生命。他陷入持续了好几个月的沮丧。只有在妻子、家人和朋友的不断支持下，他才最终找到了重新生活的意愿。在随后的几年里，他把注意力集中在有一天能再次行走的目标上。

带着一种新的活力和决心，里夫进行了一项高强度的锻炼计划，以帮助他实现这一目标。旨在帮助他实现这一目标的剧烈运动。他进行了一系列旨在重建肌肉的练习，并取得了显著的进步。不久之后，他又通过导演、制作甚至主演电影重返了电影生涯。他还写了一本传记，重返慈善事业。里夫成为一个充满激情和活力的倡导者，为背部受伤和残疾的人筹集了数百万美元，以支持医学研究。“我所做的一切都是建立在我们内心的力量基础上的……你不必成为一个‘超人’就能做到这一点。”他的积极态度鼓舞了那些身陷疾病的人们。“随着新医学研究的进展，我相信像我这样的人总有一天能够再次行走。所以你可以看到，我太忙于生活而不想放弃！”

不幸的是，2004年10月10日，克里斯托弗·里夫去世了。他将永远被人们记住是一个超级英雄。
