Though veterinarians couldn't save his foot, they were able to fit him with a pachyderm-sized prosthetic.
虽然兽医们没能保住他的腿，但他们给他装了一只适合大象的义肢。Because there was so little bone left, the prosthesis was hard to fit, and with her right leg also damaged, walking was intensely painful.
因为那儿几乎没有骨头了，义肢很难装上去，而且她的右腿也有伤残，走路时疼痛无比。The doctors fitted her with prosthetic limbs and they even put little wooden feet on the ends for her as they were so touched by her.
医生们深深的为她所感动，为她做了一副义肢，而且给义肢装上了一双木制的脚。The wood of the tree is light and flexible, so it is often used to make artificial limbs, wicker baskets and furniture.
它的木材即轻又柔韧，所以常被制成人造义肢、篮子及家俱。I was talking to one of them, and he was really liking this arm, it's way way way better than a plastic stick with a hook on it.
我和其中一个孩子聊过天，他很喜欢这个机械义肢，因为这比一支带钩的塑料棍好很多。But years later Ms Jaber finds him back in Baghdad, his exams unfinished and without the prosthetics which he found too heavy.
然而，几年之后，Jaber女士发现他又回到了巴格达，他的考试还没结束，也没有做弥补术，因为他觉得义肢太重而没有装上。With most prosthetic devices, including the Rheo Knee, much of the energy put into them by the body is lost, rather than being recovered.
大多数的义肢装置——包括磁流变智能膝关节——人体施于其上的多数能量都流失了，而不是被重新利用。His prosthetics have no knee joints so he had to run with stiff upper legs - a much more physically taxing style.
他的义肢没有膝关节，所以他只能依靠略显僵直的大腿来跑步，而用这种方式要比普通人跑起步来费力得多。Better prosthetic devices have been a major Pentagon priority for years.
探求更好的义肢，多年以来已经成为五角大楼一项重要的优先项目。
