   Like many 12-year-old girls, McKenzie Carey loves to dance. And though McKenzie has a rare genetic 1 disease that keeps her in a wheelchair, she has a devoted 2 dance partner in her father, who's waltzed her through many local pageants 4.


  和许多12岁女孩一样,麦肯齐·凯利热爱跳舞。尽管麦肯齐因身患罕见的基因疾病而无法离开轮椅,但她忠诚的舞伴——她的父亲还是带她在本地的许多舞蹈比赛上跳起华尔兹。

  McKenzie has mitochondrial disease, a debilitating 5 condition that deprives the body of energy and damages cells in the heart, liver, skeletal muscles, respiratory systems and brain.
  麦肯齐患有线粒体疾病,这种疾病会让人丧失大量能量,并损伤心脏、肝脏、骨骼肌、呼吸系统和大脑等部位的细胞,从而使人衰弱。
  'Dancing with daddy makes her feel like she’s on top of the world,' her father, Mike Carey, told Today.com.
  她的父亲麦克·凯利告诉Today.com:“和爸爸一起跳舞让她觉得无比幸福。”
  'Pageants give her the same opportunity as other children and show people that she can accomplish anything with a little bit of help,' her mother, Tammy Carey, added. 'I just want the judges to look at her, not her wheelchair.'
  “舞蹈比赛给了她和其他孩子同样的机会,让她能够在人们面前展示:只要一点点帮助,她就能完成任何事。” 她的母亲塔米·凯利补充道,“我只希望裁判们能看她,而不是她的轮椅。”
  Ms Carey began entering McKenzie in pageants when she was five but it wasn't until 2010 that her father began joining her onstage.
  凯利夫人在麦肯齐5岁的时候开始替她报名参加舞蹈比赛。2010年起,麦肯齐的父亲开始和她一起在舞台上跳舞。
  'My wife was sitting in the audience and was so stressed about McKenzie, so I decided 6 to do something a little crazy,' Mr Carey told Today.com.
  凯利先生告诉Today.com:“我太太和观众坐在一起,因为麦肯齐而非常紧张。因此我决定做件有点疯狂的事。”
  'I took McKenzie up on stage and did a wheelie with her wheelchair. Then I spun 7 her around, picked her up and started doing a freestyle dance. The crowd went wild and gave us a standing 8 ovation 9!'
  “我带着麦肯齐走上舞台,用她的轮椅做了一个抬头特技(类似摩托车抬起前轮)。接着我旋转她,抱起她,跳起自由式舞蹈。观众们变得疯狂起来,为我们起立鼓掌。”
  McKenzie has competed in more than 100 pageants, and won about 20. The family is currently preparing for a national pageant 3 in Nebraska.
  麦肯齐参加了100多场舞蹈比赛,赢了大约20场。凯利一家现在正在准备在内布拉斯加州举行的一场全国比赛。
  'If I get one person [inspired], it made the whole song and whole thing worthwhile,' Mr Carey told ABCNews.com. 'It’s like an unspoken message. This dance is alike an unspoken testimony 10 and shows bond and love between a father and daughter.'
  “如果我能让一个人感动,那整首歌整件事就是值得的”,凯利先生告诉ABCNews.com,“这就像无声的讯息。这支舞是父女间爱与牵绊的无声宣言。”
  The Careys have set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for McKenzie's medical treatments, and have already seen $86,000 donated to the cause.
  凯利一家制做了GoFundMe网页来为麦肯齐的治疗募捐。目前已收到8万6千美元的捐赠。
  'As a mother of a special needs child, there is nothing I won't do to help improve my daughter's quality of life,' Ms Carey wrote on the fundraising site.
  “做为一名有特殊需要的儿童的母亲,为了改善我女儿的生活质量,没有什么是我不能做的,”凯利夫人在募捐网站上写道。
