戴着假肢的哈丽特·布伦德尔

WHAT ARE LIMBS? Your limbs are your arms and legs. Some people only have one of each, or none at all. They can be born this way or could have had an illness or injury. Hi, I'm Lee-Lee Legs, and it's nice to meet you.

四肢是什么？你的四肢就是你的胳膊和腿。 有些人只有一种，或者根本没有。 他们可能天生如此，也可能曾经患病或受伤。 嗨，我是李李腿，很高兴见到你。

You may have a problem with one of your limbs or it hasn't grown the way that it should. It could be that you have had to have a limb removed by having an operation. Some people have only part of a limb missing.

你的某个肢体可能有问题，或者它没有按应有的方式生长。 它可能是你必须通过手术切除肢体。 有些人只缺了一部分肢体。

WHAT IS AN ARTIFICIAL LIMB? If you do not have two arms or two legs, it can be difficult to do some everyday things. This could mean that you need an artificial limb to make your life easier. My name is Annie Artificial Limb.

什么是假肢？ 如果你没有两只胳膊或两条腿，做一些日常的事情可能会很困难。 这可能意味着你需要一个假肢来让你的生活更轻松。 我的名字是安妮假肢。

An artificial limb takes the place of the limb that isn't there. The artificial limb is made to join to your body to help you move as you need to. I'm here to help!

假肢代替了不存在的肢体。 假肢是用来连接到你的身体上，帮助你在需要的时候移动。 我是来帮忙的！

WHAT HAPPENS IF I NEED AN ARTIFICIAL LIMB? If you've had an operation to remove a limb, you'll need to stay in the hospital for several days. You'll be given medicine to make sure you're not in pain. It won't be long before I can go home.

如果我需要一个假肢怎么办？ 如果你做了切除肢体的手术，你需要在医院住几天。 医生会给你开些药，确保你不疼。 我很快就能回家了。
