Towards the end of the second world war Dr Ludwig Guttmann, a brisk refugee from Nazi Germany, arrives at Stoke Mandeville hospital in Buckinghamshire and is appalled to find the partially paralysed spinal patients heavily sedated and left to rot with bed sores. He immediately begins a new regime,disposing of old equipment and sedatives, bringing him into conflict with stern Sister Edwards and pompous consultant Cowan, as well as the patients. However the sister backs him when she realises he is treating her charges as people, not patients, talking to them and involving them in musical entertainments and sporting activity. Soon Whitehall are sending him all their spinal patients and, with visits to the pub and wheelchair sports taught by an army sergeant, he becomes the men's hero. With the war over Ludwig organizes national wheelchair sports competitions which will in turn lead to the establishment of the Paralympic games. An end title informs that in 1966, now a British citizen, Dr Guttmann was deservedly knighted for his part in bringing hope to the hopeless 　　译文(2): 二战即将结束时，来自纳粹德国的路德维希?古特曼(Ludwig Guttmann)医生来到白金汉郡的斯托克·曼德维尔医院，惊讶地发现，那些部分瘫痪的脊柱病人被注射了大量镇静剂，任由褥疮慢慢腐【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。他立即开始了一个新的制度，处理旧设备和镇静剂，使他与严厉的修女爱德华兹和自负的顾问考恩，以及病人的冲突。然而，当姐姐意识到他把她的病人当作人而不是病人来对待时，她支持了他，与他们交谈，让他们参与音乐娱乐和体育活动。不久，怀特霍尔就把所有的脊椎病人都送到了他那里，他去了酒吧，还参加了一位陆军中士教授的轮椅运动，他成了男人们心目中的英雄。随着战争的爆发，路德维希组织了全国性的轮椅运动比赛，这反过来又导致了残奥会的建立。最后一个头衔告诉我们，1966年，现在是英国公民的古特曼博士理所当然地被授予爵位，因为他为绝望的人们带来了希望
