Zsofia
Korodi是一位住在伦敦的匈牙利人,他因为老陈的壮举而备受启发,并为他创建了一个facebook主页,于是老陈的支持者现在有办法追踪他的行程了。
Keep track of sth./sb. 的意思是“保持对某物/某人的记录”、“能持续知道关于其的最新进展”。

That way his journeys are pieced together, and people alert the next town
to look out for Chen and take care of him.
他的旅程就是以这种方式被一点一点地拼凑成整体。而且,人们会提醒下一个城市老陈即将到来,并让他们照顾好他。
That way在这里是状语,意思是“以这种方式”。

When there’s water to cross, people he’s met fly him over, and he waits
patiently for the rickshaw to arrive by ship.
当途中碰上需要跨水的时候,他遇见的人带着他飞了过去,而他则在对岸耐心地等待着传把三轮车运来。

Chen said he does it all to promote the Olympic spirit. “My biggest hope is
to encourage the vulnerable, the weak, and those who are afraid of
challenges.
