NBC晚间新闻 男运动员严重车祸后重返跑道

Now this is a finish worth a photo, because 18-year-old Caleb Freeman crossed the line. Freeman, a senior at new castle high school in oklahoma, suffered a traumatic brain injury in a serious car accident two years ago. He was not supposed to live, not supposed to -- if he woke up, not supposed to eat, talk, walk or do anything. The cross country runner was in a coma¹ for two long months while his family prayed.

When Caleb finally regained² consciousness³, he faced a long road to recovery⁴. A pray for Caleb facebook page was set up to track his journey back and Caleb kept striving⁵. As runners finished the three-mile course, they circled back, surrounding caleb, urging him on. He fell down four times in the race and got back up each time on his own. And like i knew i just needed to cross that line, because it could give people hope. Finishing the race to spread his message, keep on pushing forward.

这次结束值得拍照，因为18岁的迦勒·弗里曼跑过了终点线。弗里曼是俄克拉荷马州纽卡斯尔高中的一名高三学生，两年前在一场严重的车祸中遭受了严重的脑损伤。车祸后按道理他不能存活下来，如果他能醒过来，他不能吃东西，讲话，走路或者做任何事情。这位越野赛跑运动员昏迷了整整两个月，他的家人一直在祈祷。最终迦勒恢复了意识，而后他面临着很长的康复之路。人们在脸书上建立了一个为迦勒祈祷的页面来记录他的旅程，而且迦勒一直在努力。在跑步者完成了三英里的距离后，他们回来围绕着迦勒，鼓励他继续跑下去。他在跑步过程中摔倒了四次，每次都是靠自己站起来。我知道我需要跑过那条线，因为它可以给人们希望。他通过完成赛跑来传播他的话语，那就是继续前进。
