Training to be a fireman is a tall order for anyone, but the odds are bigger when you're 4 feet 2 inches tall. 想成为一名消防员，对任何人来说都不是件容易的事请，尤其是当你的身高只有4英尺2英寸。 Still, Vince Brasco, 19, hasn't let a little thing like height stop him from volunteering at his local fire department in Carbon, Pa., for the past four years, despite being born with achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism that affects bone growth. 然而，19岁的文思·布拉斯科却没让身高这样的小事，阻止他成为宾夕法尼亚州卡本市当地消防部门的一名志愿者。尽管出生时患有一种影响骨头生长的侏儒症--软骨发育不全症，但是现在他已经在消防部门里工作了四年。 "I'll never let having achondroplasia stop me from doing anything," he told Barcroft Media. "I just set my mind to something and I go out and do my best. I wanted to be a fireman as a child so as soon as I was old enough to volunteer at 16。 I did it." “我决不会让软骨发育不全症阻止我做任何事情” ，他告诉巴克罗夫特媒体。“我下定决心做某件事情，我就会全力以赴。我很小就想成为一名消防员，当我16岁，我就成为了消防志愿者。我实现了我的梦想。” Achondroplasia is a disability, but it hasn't affected Brasco's ability from going full blaze when it comes to fighting fires. Nope, he races to emergencies up to three times a day along with the rest of his crew, who all tower above him. |
