| 释义 | crippled In the past, when someone had a physical condition that severely affected their life, people used to say that they were crippled or refer to them as a cripple. Nowadays, these words are avoided because they are thought to be offensive. The adjectives disabled, handicapped, and physically handicapped are often used to describe people who have a condition of this kind. Handicapped and physically handicapped are used especially to describe someone who is born with the condition. You can also say that someone is in a wheelchair, if they are unable to walk. The most sensitive ways of referring to people with a restricting physical condition are to call them people with disabilities or people with special needs. Those who will gain the most are people with disabilities and their carers. Employers are not prepared to pay for the training of young people with special needs. |
