勵志獨腿男子 每年總有機智的萬聖節造型
Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with cancer when he was nine years old, and was told he had a 50% chance of surviving.
喬什.森德奎斯特九歲時被診斷出癌症,並得知自己只有50%的倖存希望。
He lost his left leg, despite chemotherapy, but by thirteen he was cancer-free, and by sixteen, he was ski-racing.
儘管接受了化療,他還是失去了自己的左腿,但13歲時,森德奎斯特的癌症痊癒了。16歲時他開始滑雪。
Now, Sundquist is a motivational speaker that's become famous on social media for his clever, amputation-incorporating Halloween costumes.
森德奎斯特如今成了一名勵志演說家,他因利用獨腿打造機智的萬聖節裝扮,而在社交媒體走紅。
"I've always dealt with the social discomfort of my disability by having a sense of humor," Sundquist explains.
森德奎斯特解釋說,我經常會用一種幽默的方式來對待身體殘疾帶來的社交不適感。
"But now I'm more comfortable with who I am and what I look like, and I guess with these Halloween costumes you could even say that I celebrate what makes me different.
但現在我對自己的身份和樣子更自在了,我想你甚至可以說,我用這些萬聖節服裝來展示自己的與衆不同。
Which may be either weird or refreshing, depending on your perspective."
這也許會讓人覺得怪異或者新鮮,一切決於你怎麼看。
He explains the inspiration for his costumes below:
他解釋了以下服裝的靈感來源於:
2010: "From Shrek. Not the gumdrop buttons!"
2010:“靈感來自《怪物史瑞克》。別動我的橡皮糖釦子!(注:電影臺詞)”
2012: "My wife Ashley suggested this idea, a reference to the movie A Christmas Story."
2012:“我的妻子艾什莉提供了這個點子,參考電影《聖誕故事》。”
2013: "I was just at the zoo one time and I noticed that flamingos look like me doing a crutch handstand. So yeah."
2013:“我有一次在動物園發現,火烈鳥很像拄着拐倒立的我。所以,你懂的。”
2014: "A YouTube subscriber suggested it to me at VidCon. I thought it was appropriate since last year I was also named to the US Amputee World Cup Team."
2014:“一位油管用戶在Vidcon大會上給我提了這個建議。我認爲這非常適合我,因爲去年我還被美國截肢者世界盃小組提名。
2015: "It's a classic amputee joke. This year I decided to anthropomorphize it."
2015:“這是一個經典的截肢者段子(因爲IHOP餐廳廣告牌的造型,它被戲稱爲截肢者最喜歡的餐廳),今年我決定把這個段子演出來。”
"If my career as a motivational speaker doesn't work out, I could probably get a job at IHOP."
“萬一我的勵志演說家事業發展不順,我也許能在IHOP找到一份工作。”
2016: "Want to see my newest Halloween costume? Be our guest."
2016:“想要知道我的最新萬聖節裝扮?來看吧。”
