The telethon was really detested as a tool of using pity as a way to collect money.

电视马拉松确实是令人厌恶的一种利用怜悯来敛财的工具。

"If you give us money, we're going to cure this poor, helpless kid of whatever their disability is."

“如果你给我们钱,我们就能治愈这个可怜无助的孩子,无论他们有什么残疾。”

NARRATOR

In 1981, after more than two decades of huge TV ratings, a disabled lawyer named Evan Kemp published an editorial that stunned readers.

1981 年,在经历了二十多年的巨大电视收视率之后,一位名叫埃文·坎普 (Evan Kemp) 的残疾律师发表了一篇令读者震惊的社论。

他写道,由于电视马拉松强调的是典型儿童,因此将残疾等同于“完全绝望”。

Negative attitudes toward the disabled were formally sanctioned more than 100 years prior, with the eugenics movement, an ideology that viewed disability through the distorted science of Social Darwinism.

一百多年前,优生学运动就正式认可了对残疾人的消极态度,优生学运动是一种通过社会达尔文主义的扭曲科学来看待残疾的意识形态。

在美国,任何符合第 7[20] 条定义的其他合格残疾人士均不得仅仅因为其残疾而被排除在接受联邦财政援助的任何计划或活动之外、被剥夺其福利或受到歧视。]

Translating the concept embodied in the 46 words into practice would be up to the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare-- H.E.W.
