　　A paralysed teenager will kick-off the football World Cup in Brazil using a revolutionary robotic bodysuit.
　　Scientists are building a hi-tech exoskeleton that will enable the severely disabled youngster to walk.
　　Tiny sensors implanted into his brain will detect thoughts about movement and then transmit them to motorised leg-braces.
　　The idea is part of the Walk Again project, a joint international effort spearheaded by leading Brazilian scientist Miguel Nicolelis.
　　The system is being tested on eight boys before one is chosen for June’s opening ceremony in Sao Paulo.
　　A source said: “It will show Brazil is at the forefront of the developing world, not only in sport but in science and technology too.”

            据英国《镜报》报道，一名残疾儿童将为今年6月举行的巴西世界杯开球。巴西科学家们正在研发一种高科技的骨骼服，能让残疾人士重新走路。目前此骨骼服正在八名巴西男孩身上进行测试，最后会选定一名男孩，由他穿上服装为世界杯开球。
　　这种骨骼服的工作原理是，将微型传感器植入人的大脑，当传感器感受到运动后，就会将此意念传输给电动的腿部支架，从而让人走动起来。这一发明是一个国际项目“重新行走”的一部分，由巴西科学家尼可雷里斯领头。有消息说，这一成果将显示出巴西不仅在体育运动方面居发展中国家前列，在科技上也是遥遥领先。
