語篇導讀

克里斯蒂娜·沃格爾是一名自行車運動員，她曾經(jīng)在世界級比賽中獲得過11枚金牌。然而，在一次與另一名自行車運動員在科特布斯賽車場的混凝土軌道上進行全速訓練時，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，” cyclist Kristina Vogel said on Wednesday at her first public appearance since an accident in June that left her paralyzed.

“Maybe Ill win my 12th gold medal elsewhere，” added Vogel， who has cap

tured 11 world titles and won two Olympic gold medals.

“What do I have to feel sorry about？” the 27yearold girl asked. “The situ

ation is what it is. I will obviously find other goals.”

Vogel announced， in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine last week that she was now paraplegic after colliding at full speed with another cyclist training on the concrete track at the Cottbus velodrome.

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

Her seventh spinal cord was broken， and she has lost all feel

ings in her legs.

She called the media confer

ence at the Berlin clinic where she was treated.

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

“Its a complete break in life， a turn of 180 degrees. But Im 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.”

“Im looking forward to sleeping in my own bed again， cooking for myself， feel

ing my own walls around me， being alone with my partner，” she said.

“I wanted to improve my record，” she said. “Its a dream that is now impossible for me. Maybe Ill 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?！敝苋谳喴紊险f。

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

【即時嘗試】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。

這是一個復合句。where she was treated是定語從句，修飾先行詞clinic；where所引導的定語從句修飾的先行詞是表示地點的名詞，如place、room、house、street、area等，并在定語從句中作地點狀語。

【即時嘗試】這是我兩年前住的房子。

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

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

【即時嘗試】那是我不能接受的建議。
