        Blade the tortoiseis no slowcoach anymore, after being fitted with a special Lego 'Wheelchair' to help him get around.在装备了乐高的特制“轮椅”帮助爬行后，布莱德乌龟不再是个行动迟缓的家伙了。
        The tiny tortoise lost the use of his legs due to a litany of woes, including a growth disorder that caused his limbs to become so weak he couldn't hold himself up.这只小乌龟因为一连串的问题导致了他的腿脚残疾了，包括成长障碍导致他的四肢变得非常脆弱，几乎无法把他支撑起来。
        Blade's owner Iris Peste, from Germany, took him to the vet after noticing that he was struggling to move around.这只乌龟的的主人——来自德国的埃利斯·派斯特，发现小家伙行动不便后带他去看了兽医。
        Vet Dr Carsten Plischke then toyed with the idea of making Blade a Lego wheelchair.卡斯滕·皮里斯克医生随后给小家伙装了个乐高轮椅帮助其行走。
        Borrowing from his son's collection, Mr Plischke fitted two sets of wheels to the underside of Blade's shell so that he could then use his legs to propel him forward.皮里斯克医生从儿子那里借来了乐高的玩具，在龟壳的下面装了两组轮子，这样他就可以借着“乐高腿”推动前行了。
        Thankfully, the solution is not a permanent one as Blade is expected to regain the use of his legs.谢天谢地，这个方法只是个临时备案，布莱德预期能恢复四肢的活动。
        Dr Plischke said: 'For people there are walkers, rollators or prostheses but for animals there are no companies that produce something like that'.皮里斯克医生说：“对于人类来说，有轮椅，滚动助行架，或者假肢帮助残疾人，但是对于动物来说没有这种类似的辅助工具。”
