Question

One of the most famous basketball players in the New Castle ' s history was paralyzed(癱瘓的) in a wheelchair one day and was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer to it as " The Miracle" .

Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last October totally paralyzed from the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking Treatment.

"This past Tuesday ,I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes, " Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel w-anted to accept the inevitable (不可避免的事) and cancelled his next Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.

Then , the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour and a half later ,the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.

" As it continued to move up my legs ,it became more and more painful and it took an hour and a half to reach my hips(臀部) , " Joel recalled.

"I stood up and walked into my parents' room. ' Mom and dad, look! ' ," he said proudly.

" He said something and I was like, ' Joell Joel ! You ' re walking ! You ' re walking ! ' We jumped out of bed , cried and hugged, " Joel ' s mom Karen remembered.

"I burst into tears. It ' s hard seeing your son not be able to walk .but he was standing there , walking , " Joel ' s father Eric said , tearfully.

It was Thursday , January 23 , when he could finally walk. That date made perfect sense to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said "J 23 " . He didn't know what to make of it until "a little boy at church ,four years old, came up to me and said, ' you will walk on a Thurs-day ' , " Joel recalled.

So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.

【長難句解析】

So the 20-year-old college student, who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday ,was walking on his own.

【翻譯】所以這位20歲的大學畢業(yè)生，星期二的時候只能依靠機器人才可以行走，現在卻是靠著自己就行了。

【分析】本句中的非限制性定語從句who could only walk with the aid of a robot on Tuesday用來修飾我們的先行詞student，who在句中做主語。非限制性定語從句與先行詞的關系不夠緊密，省略對句子的意思也沒有太大的影響。
