This is all the more so for those who suffer from a handicap, as we shall see in this unit. We shall be looking at how those with physical disabilities rise to the challenge they present, setting an example to us all in terms of courage and endurance. In doing so，they deserve not only our help and encouragement, but also our gratitude. For their triumphs put our own struggles in perspective and inspire us to rise above our own weaknesses.我们都知道，克服障碍不仅仅是艰难的旅程，它还是自豪和自我满足的一大来源。尤其对于那些残疾人来说更是如此，我们将在这单元中了解到这一点。我们将了解到那些身体残疾的人面对挑战是如何奋起的，这些展示了他们的勇气和毅力，并且将为我们所有人树立榜样。他们这样的行为不仅值得我们的帮助和鼓励，而且还让我们感动。为了胜利，他们努力向前进，这就鼓舞了我们去超越自己的弱点。1. overcome obstacles2. hard going 艰难旅程；进展困难 cf. easy-going 随和的3. all the more 越发；更加4. suffer from a handicap5. physical disabilities6. rise to the challenge cf. rise to the occasion7. present sth to sb cf. present sb with sth8. set an example to sb9. in terms of courage and endurance10. deserve our help and encouragement11. deserve our gratitude12. rise above our own weaknessesText A13. bear out: justify: prove that sth is true14. make the point: make the sense15.
