大約一個半世紀前,有兩位工程師,John Roebling與其子Washington,試著建造一座吊橋來連接曼哈頓與布魯克林兩個地區。這座吊橋比當時世界上所有其他的橋梁都要長得多。雖然其他工程師認為建造這座橋是個瘋狂之舉,但是John與Washington相信這座橋是值得興建的。不過,他們兩人卻惡運連連。首先,John遭受感染而病故,接著Washington身體殘廢。雖然他們遭遇許多困難,但是,由於Washington的太太Emily鼎力相助,橋梁的興建得以持續進行。13年後,紐約最著名的地標之一,布魯克林大橋,終於建造完成。這故事給我們上了一課:對意志堅強者而言,天下沒有不可能之事。

大約在150年前,一位名叫作John Roebling的工程師想興建一座巨大的吊橋來連接曼哈頓與布魯克林。這座橋是有必要的,因為每天有數以千計的人只能搭小船橫渡東河到另一區去。但是,John Roebling想建造的吊橋比當時全世界的任何其他吊橋都還要長得多。他的計畫似乎行不通。全世界的專家都認為他一定是瘋了,才會想試著建造這樣的吊橋。他們說這項工作簡直就是不可能完成。

could only cross the East River by boat

4 Experts all over the world thought that he was
S 片語 V 名詞子句
crazy to try to build such a bridge.
片語all over the world修飾主詞experts。

然而,John與他的兒子Washington並不放棄。他們僱用一組工人開始興建他們的夢想之橋。一開始,計畫進行順利。但不幸的是,John在工程興建期間身受創傷,不久因感染而病故。之後,在另一次意外中,Washington的腦部受到創傷。結果使得他無法言語,也無法走路。每個人都認為,這個造橋計畫將會告終,因為只有Roebling家族才知道橋樑的設計。

然而,Washington依然明白這座橋是值得建造的。雖然他只能移動一根手指頭,但是他的心智依然敏銳。藉著移動這根手指頭,Washington慢慢發展出一套與他太太Emily溝通的密碼。他把訊息輕拍在她的手臂上。透過這種方式,Emily就能夠把Washington的指令傳達給建造團隊。Emily甚至研讀高階數學與橋樑工程,以便能指導團隊。歷經13年,她幫助丈夫實現他的夢想。最後,橋樑終於完工了。橋樑的開通典禮在
