慈善工作者表示，《舞动奇迹》冠军克里斯·麦考斯兰激励了失明群体

喜剧演员麦考斯兰击败了入围决赛的女演员米兰达·莎拉·哈德兰，成为该节目 20 年历史上第一位盲人获胜者

A blind charity worker has said that Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland inspired him and the sight loss community, and it never felt a “tokenistic” choice by the BBC One celebrity competition.

一位盲人慈善工作者表示，《舞动奇迹》冠军克里斯·麦考斯兰激励了他和失明群体，而且 BBC One 名人比赛从来没有让人觉得选择是“象征性的”。

Comedian McCausland became the first blind winner in the show’s 20-year history, after beating fellow finalists Miranda actress Sarah Hadland, Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and JLS singer JB Gill on Saturday night.

星期六晚上，喜剧演员麦考斯兰击败了入围决赛的演员米兰达演员莎拉哈德兰、爱情岛明星塔莎古里和 JLS 歌手 JB 吉尔，成为该节目 20 年历史上第一位盲人获胜者。

Clive Wood, who is supported by Guide Dogs UK, and campaigns for the charity, says before real-time audio descriptions were put on Strictly he always had to rely on his family, who had their own biases about the outfits and contestants, to listen to the show.

克莱夫·伍德 (Clive Wood) 是英国导盲犬组织和该慈善机构活动的支持者，他表示，在播放实时音频描述之前，他总是不得不依靠家人来倾听，他们对服装和参赛者有自己的偏见。去演出。

He felt there has been a real difference this year for diversity, and said: “Unfortunately, I think quite often, when they have disabled people on mainstream programmes, (this is) not very often, but when they do … it’s seen as quite tokenistic.

他认为今年的多样性确实发生了变化，并表示：“不幸的是，我认为，当他们在主流节目中让残疾人参加时，（这种情况）并不常见，但当他们这样做时......这被认为是相当严重的。”象征性的。

“But I think on this show, Chris was doing an amazing job, but obviously with (dance partner) Dianne (Buswell), who was there to teach him and support him, and he did amazing, his achievement needs to be recognised as being a significant one, not just for them as a partnership.”

“但我认为在这个节目中，克里斯做得非常出色，但显然与（舞伴）黛安娜（巴斯韦尔）在一起，她在那里教导他并支持他，他做得很棒，他的成就需要被认可为这对他们来说意义重大，不仅仅是作为一种伙伴关系。”

The police and campaigns manager at Guide Dogs UK, whose sight deteriorated in his 20s and 30s, can perceive light and dark like McCausland. He added that it will “inspire” people in the blind community that they can do things with “support”.

英国导盲犬组织的警察和活动经理在 20 多岁和 30 多岁时视力就恶化了，但他能像麦考斯兰一样感知光明和黑暗。他补充说，这将“激励”盲人社区的人们，他们可以在“支持”的帮助下做事。

“If everybody had a Dianne we would be very fortunate so that’s quite often the case, it’s good to have the aspiration and want to achieve but you do need the support network in place to be able to do that,” Mr Wood, 59, added.

“如果每个人都有黛安，我们就会非常幸运，所以情况经常如此，有抱负并想要实现是件好事，但你确实需要适当的支持网络才能做到这一点，”伍德先生，59 岁，额外。

He also said there is a perception of people with disability that they are not going to “achieve” much, and if they do it is “some sort of wonderful miracle”.

他还表示，人们普遍认为残疾人不会“取得太多成就”，即使他们做到了，也是“某种奇妙的奇迹”。

“There’s plenty of people with sight loss who’ve achieved a lot in their lives,” he added.

“有很多视力丧失的人在生活中取得了很多成就，”他补充道。

Mr Wood also explained that small steps forward can also make a difference in people’s lives, saying: “If you go out for the day and don’t get refused access to a shop because you’ve got your guide dog with you, which happens all the time, nearly 90% guide dog owners are experiencing that on a regular basis.

伍德先生还解释说，向前迈出一小步也可以改变人们的生活，他说：“如果你出去一天，并且没有因为带着导盲犬而被拒绝进入商店，这种情况就会发生一直以来，近 90% 的导盲犬主人都经常遇到这种情况。

“So Chris’s achievement is fantastic, but some people’s aspirations aren’t even that high, they just want to be able to go out and do things that everybody else wants to do, and I really do hope that Chris’s achievement will encourage people to do that.”

“所以克里斯的成就是了不起的，但有些人的志向甚至没有那么高，他们只是想能够出去做别人想做的事情，我真的希望克里斯的成就能够鼓励人们去做那。”

Wood, who was born with some sight loss before it worsened, and has worked for the NHS, says that McCausland has “filled me with joy” over the past few months.

伍德出生时就患有一些视力丧失，后来病情恶化，他曾在英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）工作，他说麦考斯兰在过去的几个月里“让我充满了快乐”。

However, he said he does not want to follow in his footsteps by dancing, and has been inspired in small ways.

不过，他表示自己并不想通过跳舞来追随他的脚步，而是在一些小事上得到了启发。

He joked that “it does scare me now that I’m going to have to be pulled up at a wedding or an event to dance”, as he had used his blindness as an excuse.

他开玩笑说，“现在我不得不在婚礼或活动中跳舞，这确实让我感到害怕”，因为他用失明作为借口。
