The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How _____________(self) I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here."8 He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones," the Giant says. “It's your garden now."Adaptation from "The Selfish Giant” by Oscar WildeUnit 2 Getting along Developing ideas 29Six chi away, but closer together 1Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are _____________(usual) about two metres wide, or six chi in _____________(tradition) Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang(Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one.2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local _____________(family), Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach _____________ agreement. The Zhang family was angry.

She was born without an arm. Her artificial arm was just a simple hook, but it _____________(cost) $80,000.

"I must lend a hand to people like her."5 After the fair, Easton's room became a lab. He stayed there all day. He always tried _____________ (improve) his work. For his 16th birthday, Easton got a 3-D printer. And with it, he invented an artificial arm. It was able to move with brain signals of the user. But it wasn't good enough yet: the arm weighed 3.6 kilograms. It was too heavy for a child.6 Easton kept _____________(work) on it. He enjoyed fixing problems one after another. And _____________(final) he hit on success at age 23. His design only weighed 0.5 kilograms and cost around $500!7 Easton's _____________(invent) has helped many children.

He spent years _____________(study) the sky and the earth. _____________(final) , he drew China's first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.5 As Jacques Cousteau said, "What is a _____________(science) after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us _____________(discover) a new world.Unit 4 Understanding ideas P52Digital Shock1 I've _____________(study) in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday.

As the writer Nora Ephron once said: “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”2025秋外研版英语八年级上册课文对照翻译Unit 1 This is me Understanding ideas P5A red ,red rose1 I suppose everyone has something they don't like about themselves. For me, it was the birthmark on my face. It was bright red, the colour of a strawberry.2 Sometimes, I felt people secretly looking at my face. But when I turned my head, they looked away. On crowded buses and trains, it felt just like a disaster. With so many people around me, my birthmark burned red hot.

The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face!6 I haven't told Maddie yet how she has changed me. I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something special and different - that is what's interesting.一朵红红的玫瑰1我想每个人都有自己不喜欢的地方。对我来说，那是我脸上的胎记。它是鲜红色的，草莓的颜色。2有时候，我觉得有人偷偷地看着我的脸。但当我转过头时，他们把目光移开了。在拥挤的公共汽车和火车上，感觉就像一场灾难。周围有这么多人，我感觉自己的胎记火辣辣的。因此，我一直留着长发，直到那天。3那是一个阴天的早晨。一个叫麦迪的新生来到我们班。她坐在我旁边。麦迪没有移开目光，而是仔细端详着我的脸。这让我很紧张。云朵从窗户飘进来，充满了我的心。突然，她说了一句我永远不会忘记的话。4“萨莉，对吗？”她说。“你脸上有一朵红玫瑰。多漂亮啊！”5我抬头看见她微笑的眼睛。虽然我只回答了“谢谢”，但我的心里却变得阳光明媚。回到家后，我冲到浴室，照了照镜子。这是我第一次可以看着我的胎记而不迅速转身。它的形状真的像一朵花。第二天，令我惊讶的是，麦迪在自己的脸上画了一朵红玫瑰！6我还没有告诉麦迪她是如何改变我的。我已经知道我就是我。每个人都有一些特别和不同的东西——这就是有趣的地方。Unit 1 This is me Developing ideas P12Impossible →I’m possible 1 “Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'." Audrey Hepburn, the British actress and star of the silver screen, said this. However, doubts and fears often hold us back. How can we face them and succeed?2 The runner Su Bingtian gives an excellent answer to this question. The young man began his sporting life in 2006.

I believe you can write your own story." Nothing is impossible as long as you try and stick to it. Everyone can be a Su-perman!不可能→我可能1 “没有什么是不可能的，这个词本身就说‘我有可能’。”英国女演员、银幕明星奥黛丽·赫本说。然而，怀疑和恐惧往往阻碍我们前进。我们如何面对它们并取得成功？2赛跑选手苏炳添对这个问题回答得很好。这位年轻人于2006年开始了他的体育生涯。当时，亚洲没有人能在10秒内跑完100米。苏刻苦训练，很快成为亚洲跑得最快的运动员之一。2011年，他以10.16秒的成绩完成了比赛。3 然而，苏并不满意。为了在10秒内跑完比赛，2014年，他改变了起跑腿。这是一个非常危险的决定。他必须从零开始。起初，他比以前慢了。此外，他当时25岁。在这样的年龄，许多跑步者选择停止跑步。人们怀疑他的决定。然而，苏克服了恐惧，成为了一名体育英雄。4 2015年，他以9.99秒的成绩创造了历史。2021年，他在东京奥运会上以9.83秒的成绩完赛。他也成为第一位参加奥运会100米决赛的中国运动员。5 苏炳添曾对年轻人说：“不要让年龄阻碍你。要努力，再努力。我相信你能写出自己的故事。”只要你努力坚持，没有什么是不可能的。每个人都可以成为超人！Unit 2 Getting along Understanding ideas P21The Selfish GiantOscar Wild1 Every afternoon, the children play in the Giant's garden. It is a large garden with soft, green grass. Here and there, over the grass, stand beautiful flowers, like stars.2 The Giant has been away for a long time. One day, he comes back and sees the children in his garden. "What are you doing here?" he shouts in a very angry voice.3 The children run away. The Giant closes the gate and builds a high wall around the garden. Since then, he hasn't seen a child there.4 Then spring comes. But in the Giant's garden, it is still winter. There are no birds or flowers. “I cannot understand why spring has not come since last year," says the Giant. “I hope the weather changes soon.”5 But spring never comes, nor summer. Autumn gives golden fruit to every other garden. But it gives none to the Giant's garden.6 One morning, the Giant suddenly hears birds singing. “I haven't heard that beautiful birdsong for a while. I believe spring has come at last.” The Giant jumps out of bed and looks outside.7 The Giant sees a hole in the wall. Also, there is a little child in every tree. And the trees are so glad that they have covered themselves with flowers. The birds fly about and sing with joy. “How selfish I've been!” he says. “Now I know why spring wouldn't come here."8 He knocks down the wall. The children look afraid. “Fear not, little ones," the Giant says. “It's your garden now."Adaptation from "The Selfish Giant” by Oscar Wilde自私的巨人奥斯卡·王尔德1每天下午，孩子们都在巨人的花园里玩耍。这是一个有柔软绿草的大花园。草地上到处都是美丽的花朵，像星星一样。2巨人已经离开很长时间了。有一天，他回来看到孩子们在他的花园里。“你在这里干什么？”他愤怒地喊道。3孩子们跑了。巨人关上门，在花园周围建了一堵高墙。从那以后，他再也没有在那里见过孩子。4春天来了。但在巨人的花园里，仍然是冬天。没有鸟也没有花。巨人说：“我不明白为什么从去年开始春天就没来。我希望天气能很快改变。”5但春天永远不会来，夏天也不会来。秋天给其他花园带来金色的果实。但它没有给巨人的花园带来任何好处。6一天早晨，巨人突然听到鸟儿在唱歌。“我有一段时间没听到那美妙的鸟鸣了。我相信春天终于来了。”巨人跳下床，向外看去。7巨人看见墙上有个洞。每棵树上都有一个小孩。树木非常高兴，它们已经开满了花。鸟儿欢快地飞来飞去。“我多么自私啊！”他说。“现在我知道为什么春天不会来了。”8他推倒了墙。孩子们看起来很害怕。“别害怕，小家伙们，”巨人说，“现在是你们的花园了。”改编自奥斯卡·王尔德的《自私的巨人》Unit 2 Getting along Developing ideas 29Six chi away, but closer together 1Narrow lanes are very common in China. They are usually about two metres wide, or six chi in traditional Chinese units. Most of them are nothing special. But Liu Chi Xiang(Six-chi Lane) in Tongcheng, Anhui, is perhaps the most famous one.2 Its story started back in the Qing Dynasty. Two local families, Zhangs and the Wus, argued over the dividing line between their houses. They couldn't reach an agreement. The Zhang family was angry. Their relative, Zhang Ying, had a position high up in the government. They wrote him a letter, asking for advice. When his reply came, they opened it to find a poem inside.A letter from far away just for a wall Is not right or good at all.Three chi to your neighbour as a gift Is nothing as time continues to drift.3 After reading it, the Zhang family felt ashamed. They stepped back three chi for their neighbour. This act deeply moved the Wu family. In return, they decided to do the same thing. They gave up another three chi. And so came the six-chi-wide lane between the two houses.4 Hundreds of years have passed since then, and the lane is still there. The people of Tongcheng still keep the poem in mind. Whenever they walk down the lane, they remember how kindness encourages more kindness.相隔六尺，却更近1窄巷在中国很常见。它们通常宽约两米，在中国传统单位中为六尺。他们中的大多数都没什么特别的。但安徽桐城的六尺巷可能是最著名的。2它的故事始于清朝。当地的两个家庭，张家和吴家，就房屋的分界线发生了争执。他们无法达成协议。张家很生气。他们的亲戚张英在政府中有很高的职位。他们给他写了一封信，征求他的意见。当他的回复到来时，他们打开它，发现里面有一首诗。一纸书来只为墙让他三尺又何妨长城万里今犹在部件当年秦始皇3张一家看完后感到很惭愧。他们为邻居后退了三尺。这一举动深深打动了吴一家。作为回报，他们决定做同样的事情。他们又放弃了三尺。于是，两栋房子之间出现了六尺宽的小巷。4从那以后，几百年过去了，小巷还在。桐城人民仍然铭记着这首诗。每当他们走在小巷里，他们都会想起善良是如何鼓励更多的善良的。Unit 3 Make it happen! Understanding ideas P36A helping hand 1 Easton LaChappelle, a 14-year-old student, stood beside his work at a science fair. It was a robotic arm.

She was born without an arm. Her artificial arm was just a simple hook, but it cost$80,000. What's worse, children like her grow quickly and need new arms all the time.4 “It blew me away!

People can download the design and make an artificial arm with their own 3-D printers!8 What a helping hand!援助之手1伊斯顿·拉查佩尔，一名14岁的学生，在一次科学博览会上站在他的作品旁边。这是一个机械臂。他用塑料块和钓鱼线建造了它。2“你好，”一个戴着假肢的女孩一边说，一边和伊斯顿的作品握手。这是伊斯顿第一次见到珍妮。她天生就没有手臂。她的假肢只是一个简单的钩子，但花了8万美元。更糟糕的是，像她这样的孩子长得很快，总是需要新的手臂。伊斯顿想：“这让我大吃一惊！我只花了300美元就造了我的手臂。我必须帮助像她这样的人。”集市结束后，伊斯顿的房间变成了实验室。他在那里呆了一整天。他总是努力改进自己的工作。伊斯顿16岁生日时买了一台3D打印机。有了它，他发明了一个人工手臂。它能够根据用户的大脑信号移动。但这还不够好：手臂重3.6公斤。它对一个孩子来说太重了。伊斯顿继续努力。他喜欢一个接一个地解决问题。最后，他在23岁时取得了成功。他的设计重量只有0.5公斤，成本约为500美元！伊斯顿的发明帮助了许多孩子。他不想从中赚钱。他决定把他的设计发布到网上。。。免费！人们可以下载设计，用自己的3D打印机制作一个人工手臂！8多大的帮助啊！Unit 3 Make it happen! Developing ideas P44The power of curiosity 1 Albert Einstein once said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious." The greatest inventions in history would be impossible without curiosity.2 Curiosity can bring new discoveries. Benjamin Franklin is a great example. He was drawn to electricity and had a deep curiosity about its nature. He did lots of research to try to understand it. For example, he flew a kite during a storm. His curiosity led him to invent the lightning rod. This invention protects buildings from lightning.3 Curiosity can also make people brave. Just look at Wan Hu, the Ming Dynasty pioneer of space exploration. He was so curious about space that he invented a “flying chair"! He lost his life while testing this invention. Despite the failure, his curiosity gave future explorers ideas. People learnt from his example, and created safer ways to explore space.4 But curiosity is more than just taking risks. It also drives people towards certain goals. Zhang Heng, a Chinese scientist and inventor, was curious about the world: how did everything in the world move? He spent years studying the sky and the earth. Finally, he drew China's first star map, and invented the first earthquake detector. His curiosity continues to influence scientists today.5 As Jacques Cousteau said, "What is a scientist after all? It is a curious man looking through a keyhole, the keyhole of nature, trying to know what's going on." Curiosity is the key. It opens one door after another for us to discover a new world.好奇心的力量1阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦曾说过：“我没有特殊才能。我只是充满好奇心。”没有好奇心，历史上最伟大的发明是不可能的。2好奇心可以带来新的发现。本杰明·富兰克林就是一个很好的例子。他被电吸引住了，对它的本质有着强烈的好奇心。他做了很多研究来试图理解它。例如，他在暴风雨中放风筝。他的好奇心促使他发明了避雷针。本发明保护建筑物免受雷击。3好奇心也能使人勇敢。看看明朝太空探索的先驱万户就知道了。他对太空充满好奇，发明了一种“飞行椅”！他在测试这项发明时丧生。尽管失败了，但他的好奇心给了未来的探险家灵感。人们从他的榜样中学习，创造了更安全的太空探索方式。4但好奇心不仅仅是冒险。它也促使人们朝着某些目标前进。中国科学家和发明家张衡对世界充满好奇：世界上的一切是如何运动的？他花了数年时间研究天空和地球。最后，他绘制了中国第一张星图，发明了第一台地震探测器。他的好奇心至今仍影响着科学家。5正如雅克·库斯托所说：“科学家到底是什么？他是一个好奇的人，透过大自然的钥匙孔，试图知道发生了什么。”好奇心是关键。它为我们打开了一扇又一扇发现新世界的大门。Unit 4 Understanding ideas P52Digital Shock1 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here.2 Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 15 - minute ride cost me an arm and a leg - more than five pounds!3 In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash.4 When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app. Instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone cold! By then, I felt tired and hungry.5 Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life!数字冲击1我在中国学习了一年，现在是圣诞假期。我回到英国已经三天了，但感觉像过了一个世纪!见到家人真是太棒了。而且，我真的很喜欢圣诞节和那些美味的食物。然而，在这里我遇到了一些与数字技术有关的问题。2 今天，我想去商店买点蔬菜和肉。我决定骑共享单车去。但找一辆自行车花了好久!我终于找到了一辆旧的。但那15分钟的骑行花了我一大笔钱一超过5英镑!3 在商店里，我很快就选好了需要的所有东西。我想用智能手机付款。我让店主出示二维码，但她不明白我的意思!接着，我试着用我的数字钱包付款，但商店的支付系统无法使用。店主让我用现金支付。因为我在中国一直用数字支付，所以我根本没带钱包。我只好回家去取现金。4 到家时，我累得都不想做饭了。我通过一个应用程序点了我最喜欢的菜。结果，配送速度非常慢。90 分钟后，我的菜终于送到了，可都已经完全凉了!那时，我又累又饿。5 除了今天，我的假期过得很愉快。不过，我还是盼望着回到中国。那里的科技让我能过上更便捷的生活!Unit 4 Developing ideas P60Unit 4 The Fun They Had1 In her diary, on 17 May 2157, Margie wrote: “Today, Tommy found a real book!”2 It was a very old book. They turned the old, yellow pages. It was strange to read the words. They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen.3 “What a waste!” said Tommy. “When you finish the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have a million books on it! I wouldn't throw it away.”4 Margie asked, “What's the book about?”5“School.”6 “Why would anyone write about school?”7 “Because it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago. They had a teacher, but it was a person. There was a special building, and all the kids and teachers went there.”8 Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, “Margie! School!”9 Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. Her teacher was a machine. It was on and waiting for her. The screen was lit up. The machine said: “Today's lesson is on maths. Please put yesterday's homework in the opening."10 Margie did so sadly. She was thinking about the old schools. All the kids from the neighbourhood came, and laughed and shouted in the playground. They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school.11 And the teachers were people...12 Margie was thinking about how the students must have loved school in the old days. She was thinking about the fun they had.Adaptation from "The Fun They Had" by Isaac Asimov他们的快乐1玛吉在她2157年5月17日的日记中写道:“今天，汤米发现了一本真正的书!”2 那是一本非常古老的书。他们翻动着那些泛黄的旧书页。读那些文字感觉很奇怪。文字就静止在书页上，而不是在屏幕上移动。3“真浪费!”汤米说，“我猜你读完这本书后就会把它扔掉。我们的电视屏幕上肯定有上百万本书!我可不会把它扔掉。”4玛吉问道:“这本书是关于什么的?”5“学校。”6“为什么会有人写关于学校的书呢?”7“因为那是一种古老的学校，几百年前的。他们有老师，但老师是真人。有一座专门的建筑，所有的孩子和老师都去那里。”8玛吉想读一读关于那些有趣学校的内容。但她妈妈喊道:“玛吉!该上学了!”9玛吉的教室就在她卧室旁边。她的老师是一台机器。机器已经开启，正在等她。屏幕亮了起来。机器说道:“今天的课程是数学。请把昨天的作业放进开口处。”10玛吉难过地照做了。她在想着那些古老的学校。附近街区的孩子们都来了，在操场上嬉笑叫嚷。他们一起坐在教室里，放学后一起回家。11 而且老师是真人......12玛吉在想，以前的学生们肯定很喜欢上学。她在想着他们曾拥有的欢乐时光。改编自艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《他们的欢乐时光》Unit 5 Understanding ideas P68RULES l After a busy day at work, I got on the train to go home. I went to a quiet area in order to read. I sat down and took out my book.2 Suddenly, a girl opposite me started playing loud music on her phone. What a shock! I almost jumped up in surprise.3 A minute later, the man next to me took out several packets of food. It was like he was on a picnic. People have to eat, of course, but the food was so smelly! It was like sitting next to a mountain of blue cheese.4 I covered my ears in order to block the noise coming from Rock Girl. I covered my nose so as to reduce the smell coming from Mr Smelly Food.5 Then a boy behind me started to kick my seat. My anger grew. My face turned as red as a tomato! I asked him to stop. However, his mother replied, “Come on, he's just a kid.”6 I turned around so as to see the other passengers' faces. They also seemed unhappy, but no one did anything. Will they think me a fool if I do something? I looked at the signs on the wall. They read “Please be quiet",“No smelly food” and “Please look after your children”. Everyone knows the rules, I thought. They aren't just on the wall but also in our minds and hearts. And rules are there for us to follow!7 Suddenly, I felt brave. I took a deep breath and stood up...规则1忙碌了一天后，我登上火车准备回家。为了能看书，我走到一个安静的区域，坐下后便拿出了书。2 突然，坐在我对面的女孩开始用手机大声播放音乐。这太让人震惊了!我差点惊讶地跳起来。3一分钟后，坐在我旁边的男子拿出几包食物。感觉他就像在野餐一样。当然，人是要吃饭的，但这食物的味道太难闻了!就好像坐在一堆蓝纹奶酪旁边。4 我捂住耳朵，想要阻挡来自“摇滚女孩”的噪音。我捂住鼻子，想减轻“臭食先生”散发出来的气味。5 接着，我后面的一个男孩开始踢我的座位。我越来越生气，脸涨得像西红柿一样红!我让他别踢了。然而，他妈妈却回应道:“哎呀，他只是个孩子。”6 我转过身，想看看其他乘客的表情。他们似乎也不高兴，但没人采取任何行动。如果我做点什么，他们会觉得我是个傻瓜吗?我看着墙上的标识,上面写着“请保持安静”“请勿食用有异味的食物”以及“请照看好您的孩子”。我心想，每个人都知道这些规则。它们不只是写在墙上，也应该铭记在我们的脑海和心中。规则就是要我们去遵守的!7 突然，我鼓起了勇气。我深吸一口气，站了起来….….Unit 5 Developing ideas P76Are you safe online Think 20 years back when chatting face to face with loved ones far away was a dream.

The earth shook these days. That night, I was sleeping when the ground shook very hard. My mother rushed into my room to wake me up. We had to stay outside for the night. My mother was so scared. She didn't shut her eyes for even one second. By six o'clock the next morning, many buildings were still shaking. We decided to leave the town.2 The road was crowded. We were at a place out of town. Just then, shocking things happened. Our coach couldn't go straight ahead. It began to move from side to side. The sea moved back suddenly, and many sea animals were left on the sand.3 We noticed a very dark cloud over Mount Vesuvius. Soon, the cloud moved down and covered the sea. My mother asked me to continue without her, but I refused to leave her behind. We moved on while the cloud was spreading over the land like a flood. It turned day into night. The air was thick with smoke and ash began to fall in heavy showers. All around us, women were calling, children were crying and men were shouting. People were trying to find their families in the dark.4 Thankfully, after a while, the daylight returned! Everything was covered in ash, like the snow in winter. After a night of living between hope and fear, we had no thoughts of things to come.Pliny the Younger一座遗失的城市1 我和母亲当时住在庞贝附近的一个小镇上。那些日子里，大地一直在震动。那天晚上，我正在睡觉，突然地面剧烈摇晃起来。母亲冲进我的房间把我叫醒。我们当晚不得不待在外面。母亲非常害怕，一秒钟都没合眼。到第二天早上六点，许多建筑物仍在摇晃。我们决定离开这个小镇。2 路上挤满了人。我们在城外的一个地方。就在这时，令人震惊的事情发生了。我们乘坐的马车无法继续前行，开始左右摇晃。海水突然退去，许多海洋动物被留在了沙滩上。3 我们注意到维苏威火山上方出现了一大片乌云。很快，乌云向下蔓延，笼罩了海面。母亲让我别管她继续走，但我拒绝把她丢下。我们继续前行，此时乌云像洪水一样在大地上蔓延开来，白昼变成了黑夜。空气中弥漫着浓烟，灰烬如暴雨般纷纷落下。我们周围，女人在呼喊，孩子在啼哭，男人在叫嚷。人们在黑暗中寻找自己的家人。4 谢天谢地，过了一会儿，阳光又回来了!一切都被火山灰覆盖，就像冬天的雪。在希望与恐惧交织中度过一夜后，我们无暇去想未来会怎样。小普林尼Unit 6 Understanding ideas P92Iron Girl1 During the 2021 Shanghai Fashion Week, a young, slim and confident woman with an iron leg drew everyone's attention. Her name was Niu Yu. She lost her right leg in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. She was only 11 years old then.2 Niu Yu used to be in the school sports team. She loved running. But the disaster broke her dream. She had to live with an artificial leg. It wasn't comfortable, and her leg often bled. People's curious eyes made her even more uncomfortable. She always tried to hide her leg under jeans or dresses.3 With the support of her family and friends, Niu Yu slowly came out from the shadows. In 2018,right before her 21st birthday, she decided to stop hiding her leg. To her surprise, she received lots of encouraging words. She also finished a half marathon in about 4 hours. She completed the hard 10 - year journey of finding herself again.4 Now Niu Yu shares her story on social media. She listens to disaster survivors and encourages them to look forward. In 2023, she carried the torch at the FISU World University Games. “It is a great honour for me," she said. “But it is also a good chance to show people the power of being brave.”5 A disaster can bring a lot of pain. But we should always face it with courage. As the writer Nora Ephron once said: “Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”铁腿女孩1在2021年上海时装周期间，一位年轻、苗条且自信的铁腿女子吸引了众人的目光。她叫牛钰。2008年汶川地震中，她失去了右腿，那时她只有11岁。2 牛钰曾是学校运动队的一员，她热爱跑步。但这场灾难打破了她的梦想。她不得不依靠假肢生活。假肢并不舒适，她的腿还经常流血。人们好奇的目光让她更加难受。她总是试图把假肢藏在牛仔裤或裙子下面。3 在家人和朋友的支持下，牛钰逐渐走出阴霾。2018年，就在她21岁生日前夕，她决定不再隐藏自己的假肢。令她惊喜的是，她收到了许多鼓励的话语。她还在约4小时内跑完了半程马拉松。她完成了重新找回自我的艰难十年历程。4 如今，牛钰在社交媒体上分享自己的故事。她倾听灾难幸存者的心声，鼓励他们向前看。2023年，她在世界大学生运动会上担任火炬手。“这对我来说是莫大的荣幸，”她说，“但这也是向人们展示勇敢力量的好机会。”5 灾难会带来巨大的痛苦。但我们应始终勇敢面对。正如作家诺拉·艾芙隆所说:“最重要的是，要成为自己生活中的女主角，而非受害者。”
