全文翻譯

我去（參加）了一個團隊活動，“敏感星期天”，這個活動想讓我們更加（36）了解殘疾人面對的問題。我們被要求在一個周日的幾個小時里“（37）選定一種殘疾（類型）”。一些成員（38）像我一樣選擇了輪椅。其他人戴著耳塞或者眼罩。

光是坐在輪椅上就是一種（39）學習的體驗。我以前從沒想過使用輪椅是如此（40）笨拙。我一坐下去，我的（41）重量就會讓輪椅開始滾動。它的輪子不是（42）鎖定的。然后我在想我該把（43）腳放在哪兒。我花了好一會兒才把那個金屬腳蹬放好（44）位置。我第一次不安地看著這個接下來幾小時里我唯一的（45）交通工具。對于殘疾人來說，“選擇輪椅”并不是一個臨時的（46）實驗。

我嘗試著找到一個（47）舒服的姿勢，想著它可以讓我感到放松，（48）甚至（就這么）被四處（49）推一會兒還挺不錯的。看看周圍，我（50）意識到我需要自己解決問題！我剛一（51）轉動那個笨重的車輪，手就開始痛，我慢慢開始知道控制輪椅的（52）方向并不是一件（53）輕松的事。

我的輪椅實驗很快（54）結束了。它給我留下了深刻的印象。幾個小時的“殘疾”只是讓我體驗了一下身體和內心的雙重（55）挑戰，而這挑戰卻是殘疾人必須要克服的。
