I understand that you often use the example of the gymnast Sang Lan to show how people can find happiness even during times of a personal catastrophe. 我知道，你常拿体操运动员桑兰的例子来告诉人们如何能找到幸福，即使在个人困难时期。

Well, in case some of our viewers don't know her story, can you tell us a little bit about Sang Lan and who she is? 这样，可能我们有些观众不知道她的故事，你能给我们讲一些有关桑兰的事迹，以及她是怎样的一个人吗？

Of course. Sang Lan was born in Ningbo, China in 1981, and began learning gymnastics when she was only six years old. 当然可以。桑兰于1981年出生于中国宁波，六岁时就开始学习体操。

By the time she competed in the gymnastics tournament at the New York Goodwill Games, 当她在纽约友好运动会上参加体操锦标赛的时候，

she had been a junior gymnast for eleven years. 她已经当了十一年的初级体操运动员。

Sang Lan's best event was always the vault. 桑兰最强的项目一直是跳马。

Sang Lan knew that in those years, she was working towards something special, and she was making her parents proud. 桑兰知道，这些年她在朝着特殊的事情努力，而且她在令她的父母自豪。

In 1998, a small accident during one of her practice vaults at the Goodwill Games could have cost her her future happiness. 在1998年的友谊赛上，她在练习跳马时发生的一个小事故可能会使她失去未来的幸福。

A coach changed the way the equipment was set up, but Sang Lan was not aware of the change until it was too late. 一位教练改变了装备设置的方式，但当桑兰意识到这个变化的时候已经太晚了。

She hit her head, and then fell to the gymnastics mat with a broken neck. 她撞到了头部，摔倒在体操垫上，把脖子摔断了。

She was rushed to a top hospital in New York. Specialists from many parts of the world said that because of her severe injuries, she would never walk again. 她被立刻送往纽约的一家顶级医院。世界许多地方的专家们都说，由于受伤严重，她可能永远不能行走了。

That must have been difficult for her. She must have been very sad. 那对她来说一定很艰难。她肯定非常伤心。

No, that is why her story is so special. 不，那就是她的事迹如此特殊的原因。

Everyone who saw her, from nurses to famous visitors like Leonardo DiCaprio from the film Titanic, 凡见过她的人，从护士到像主演电影《泰坦尼克》的莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥这样的著名人士，

who went to see her in the hospital to cheer her up, all said she was in good spirits. 他们专门来医院探访、鼓励她，都说她情绪很好。

Sang Lan knew that for many people the secret to happiness is to have appreciation for the good things in life, and to focus on goals. 桑兰知道，对许多人来说，幸福的秘密就在于感激生活中好的事情以及锁定目标。

Instead of crying about what she had lost and feeling hopeless, Sang Lan thought about what she could do to get better. 桑兰没有因为她所失去的而哭泣，也没有绝望，她在考虑要做些什么才能让自己恢复得更好。

Her teammates were competing while she was in hospital. 她在医院的时候，她的队友们正在比赛。

When they visited her and told her about their successes, she was happy for them. 他们来看望她的时候，给她带来了他们成功的消息，她为他们感到高兴。

When the doctors told her that she would never again be a gymnast, 当医生说她永远也无法再成为一名体操运动员时，

she was able to overcome her sorrow by being proud of the things she had accomplished. 她已经能克服自己的悲伤，为她所完成的事业而自豪了。

She felt thankful to be alive and lucky to have the rest of her life to learn new things. 她很感激自己能活着，并觉得能用她的余生来学习新的东西很幸运。

That is really amazing, Dr Brain. How old was she when this happened? 这真是让人惊讶万分啊，布来恩博士。这件事发生的时候她多大？

She also hosted a sports programme about the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and continues to be a popular figure on TV. 她还主持了一个有关2008北京奥运会的体育节目，并一直作为一位受欢迎的人物在电视上出现。
