个人情况

艾德在泳池事故后失去行动能力，但他凭借毅力康复，攀登高峰，并创建慈善机构帮助他人。

Ed was a professional football player, but in 2017 he had an accident in a swimming pool. After that, he couldn’t move his body from the shoulders down.

艾德曾是一名职业足球运动员，但在 2017 年，他在游泳池中发生了意外。从那以后，他的身体从肩膀以下就不能动了。

Doctors told him that he’d probably never walk again, but Ed didn’t want to believe this. He had recently got engaged (订婚) to the woman who is now his wife and he said that she was the main reason he wanted to get better. He spent six days staring at his toes (脚趾) and trying to make them move—and, finally, he succeeded! This was the start of a long journey.

医生告诉他，他可能再也不能走路了，但埃德不愿相信。他最近和现在的妻子订婚了，他说她是他想要康复的主要原因。他花了六天时间盯着自己的脚趾，试图让它们动起来--最后，他成功了！这是一段漫长旅程的开始。

While in hospital, Ed met Paul, a man in his late thirties. Doctors had also told Paul he would never walk again, but Ed encouraged him not to give up and six months later, Paul told Ed he was walking with a stick.

在住院期间，艾德认识了年近三十的保罗。医生也曾告诉保罗他再也不能走路了，但埃德鼓励他不要放弃，六个月后，保罗告诉埃德他可以用拐杖走路了。

Only a year after his accident, Ed climbed the highest mountain in Wales. Since then he has also climbed a 6,500-meter mountain in Nepal and he said that after each big climb he noticed his body could do new movements.

事故发生后仅一年，埃德就登上了威尔士最高的山峰。此后，他还攀登了尼泊尔一座海拔 6500 米的山峰，他说每次大爬山之后，他都会发现自己的身体可以做新的动作了。

Two years later, 31-year-old Ed climbed 8,848 meters, the height of the world’s highest mountain, by going up and down his parents’ stairs 2,783 times. When he finished, he told a news reporter he had loved it although it sometimes was “painful” and “boring”. He also raised £46,000 for charity.

两年后，31 岁的艾德在父母家的楼梯上上下下了 2783 次，爬上了 8848 米的世界最高峰。攀登结束后，他对新闻记者说，虽然有时会感到 "痛苦 "和 "无聊"，但他很喜欢这样的生活。他还为慈善机构筹集了 4.6 万英镑。
