双语:这个残疾小伙有条酷毙的机械手臂
Four years ago, James Young's life changed for ever in a freak accident
when he fell under a train.
四年前一场诡异的意外事故中,詹姆斯·杨摔到了列车下,人生因而彻底改变。
As well as sustaining multiple injuries - including collapsed lungs, a
fractured skull and face, rib fractures and cracks in his spine - he damaged his
left arm while his left leg was severed below the knee at the scene.
除了外肺部塌陷、头颅碎裂、脸庞破损、肋骨断裂还有脊柱脆裂外等多处连续不断多重受伤外,他还断了左臂,左腿膝盖以下当场切断。
A year ago, however, James's life changed again. When he became 'part
cyborg' in an extraordinary experiment that fitted him with a prototype bionic
arm.
然而,一年前,詹姆斯的生活又一次发生改变,一个特别的实验给詹姆斯安装了一个生化手臂原始模型,他成了“半机械人”。
A gaming company Konami, which was looking for an amputee was interested in
road-testing a futuristic prosthetic limb.

Sophie, who has worked on special effects for films, designed James a
bespoke metal arm with an attached plastic articulated hand worked by muscles in
his shoulders.
索菲是研究电影特效的,为詹姆斯量身定制了金属手臂,关节部分由塑料制成,肩部肌肉控制指节。
The muscle signals are detected by sensors attached to the skin of his
shoulders - the sensors are connected to a harness across the top of his body
that then operates the arm and hand, all powered by battery.
传感器附在肩部皮肤上,可以感知肌肉信号,传感器与身体上的肩带相连接从而控制臂膀和手臂。
The cyborg-style arm also features a laser light, a torch, a USB port to
charge his phone and a watch.
机械手臂有镭射灯、手电筒、USB接口供充电和手表。
As well as helping amputees, robotic devices are being developed to help
stroke patients operate paralysed hands again.
