Several months ago I was asked to be FB friends with a guy named Matt.
几个月前，我在脸书网上收到了好友申请，发出申请的是一个名叫Matt的人。

As a result of that accident, Matt\'s wife died.

If that wasn\'t horrific enough Matt broke 42 bones and was burned over 33% of his body.

Matt spent 2 months in the Cleveland Metro burn unit, 1 month in rehab and another 9 months in therapy .
Matt在Cleveland Metro的烧伤病房里呆了两个月，又花了一个月做复健，接受了九个月的心理辅导。

At first, they were not sure that Matt would even live.
一开始，人们对Matt能否活下来都心存怀疑。

Then he received the not so encouraging report it was doubtful he would ever walk again.
接着，Matt又接到一份检查报告，情况不太好，他可能再也无法行走了。

If there was anyone who could have fallen into a pit of self-pity you would believe it could be Matt.

But that is not what Matt chose to do.
然而Matt却选择了另一种活法。

Matt worked hard in rehab and therapy .

He not only lived, but he can also walk!

How about that!
