Taking five days to complete a half-marathon may not seem impressive.
用五天时间跑完半程马拉松似乎并不让人印象深刻。
That is, until you learn the woman who did it is paralyzed from the chest down and 16 weeks pregnant.
但是当你获悉这是一名怀孕16周、胸部以下高位截瘫的孕妇之后，一切就不一样了。
Claire Lomas began the Great North Run in northeast England last Wednesday and finished last Sunday afternoon.
克莱尔·洛马斯上周三在英国北部"大北方长跑"比赛中出发，于上周日下午完成了比赛。
The 36-year-old Lomas averaged 3 miles a day using a "bionic suit" that helped her move and lift her legs during the marathon, according to the BBC.
据英国广播公司报道，36岁的洛马斯利用一套"仿生学套装"帮助她在马拉松比赛中抬腿和移动，平均每天可以跑3英里。
"It's taken some learning. It's not just physical work, it's the concentration with every step," she said. "It doesn't just walk for me. I have to use the parts that aren't paralyzed to make it walk."
她对此表示："这要学习一段时间。这不仅仅是体力活动，每一步都要集中精力。对我来说不仅仅是行走。我需要运用没有瘫痪的所有部位来让自己动起来。"

Lomas was paralyzed from the chest down after a horseback riding accident in 2007.
在2007年一次坠马事故之后，洛马斯胸部以下都瘫痪了。
Despite the challenges she's faced as a result, Lomas believes people with spinal injuries should stay as active as possible.
虽然最后她要面对很多挑战，但是洛马斯认为，有脊椎损伤的人也应该尽可能动起来。
"It's good for your health, anyway, whether you are an active person or not," she told the Guardian.
她在接受《卫报》采访时表示："不管怎样，这都对你的健康有好处，不管你是不是健康人。"
Lomas made the walk with the help of a robotic exoskeleton that she purchased after raising around $66,000.
洛马斯全程的行走都借助一套机械体外骨骼，这套装置是她筹了近66000美元之后购买的。
The suit, made by ReWalk Robotics of Israel, uses lightweight braces and a series of sensors so users can rotate joints and control movement with their upper body, according to BT.com.
据BT网站报道，该装置由以色列ReWalk机器人公司制造，使用了轻型支架和一系列传感器，这样使用者就可以利用上身转动关节、控制行走。
This isn't the first time Lomas has competed using the exoskeleton. In 2012, she also walked the London marathon and finished in 16 days, according to Slate.
这不是洛马斯第一次借助体外骨骼参加体育比赛了。据"石板书"网站报道，在2012年，洛马斯用16天走完了伦敦马拉松。
