◆語篇導(dǎo)讀

克里斯蒂娜·沃格爾是一名自行車運(yùn)動(dòng)員，她曾經(jīng)在世界級(jí)比賽中獲得過11枚金牌。然而，在一次與另一名自行車運(yùn)動(dòng)員在科特布斯賽車場的混凝土軌道上進(jìn)行全速訓(xùn)練時(shí)，她意外摔倒受傷。她的第七脊椎骨斷裂，雙腿也失去了知覺，從此癱瘓。27歲的她并沒有因此消沉，而是選擇在殘疾領(lǐng)域來贏得她的第12枚金牌。

“I know I will never walk again，”cyclistKristina Vogel said on Wednesday at her first public appearance since an accident in June that left herparalyzed.

“Maybe I'll win my 12th gold medal elsewhere，”added Vogel，who hascaptured11 world titles and won two Olympic gold medals.

“What do I have to feel sorry about？”the 27-year-old girl asked.“The situation is what it is.I willobviouslyfind other goals.”

Vogel announced，in an interview withDer Spiegelmagazine last week that she was nowparaplegicaftercollidingat full speed with another cyclist training onthe concrete trackat the Cottbusvelodrome.

“Falling is a part of cycling，”she said on Wednesday，sitting in a wheelchair.“I could have been dead.I was damn lucky.”

Her seventhspinal cordwas broken，and she has lost all feelings in her legs.

She called the media conference at the Berlin clinic where she was treated.

“I'm not a machine，there were times when I had to learn to let out the tears and I've never cried much，”she said.

“It's a complete break in life，a turn of 180 degrees.But I'm here，on two wheels or on four wheels.I do not have to hide.I would like to be independent.I want to restart life and give up outside help as much as possible.”

“I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again，cooking for myself，feeling my own walls around me，being alone with my partner，”she said.

“I wanted to improve my record，”she said.“It's a dream that is now impossible for me.Maybe I'll win my 12th gold medal elsewhere.”

◆典句賞析

1.“Falling is a part of cycling，”she said on Wednesday，sitting in a wheelchair.“跌倒是騎自行車的一部分。”周三她坐在輪椅上說。

sitting in a wheelchair是現(xiàn)在分詞短語，意為“坐在輪椅上”，在句中充當(dāng)伴隨狀語。伴隨狀語的特點(diǎn)是，它所表達(dá)的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)是伴隨著句子中謂語動(dòng)詞的動(dòng)作而發(fā)生或存在的。

【即時(shí)嘗試】他唱著歌走回家了。

2.She called the media conference at the Berlin clinic where she was treated.她在她接受治療的柏林診所召開了新聞發(fā)布會(huì)。

這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。where she was treated是定語從句，修飾先行詞clinic；where所引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾的先行詞是表示地點(diǎn)的名詞，如place、room、house、street、area等，并在定語從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語。

【即時(shí)嘗試】這是我兩年前住的房子。

3.It's a dream that is now impossible for me.現(xiàn)在對于我來說那是一個(gè)不可能的夢想。

“It is+名詞+that”是一個(gè)含有定語從句的復(fù)合句。that is now impossible for me是定語從句，修飾前面的先行詞dream。

【即時(shí)嘗試】那是我不能接受的建議。
