For years, father Dick Hoyt ran the Boston Marathon with his son, Rick Hoyt, in an effort to inspire and motivate other children with special needs.

多年来,迪克·霍伊特神父和他的儿子里克·霍伊特一起跑波士顿马拉松,以激励和激励其他需要特殊照顾的孩子。

Dick Hoyt died Wednesday at 80 years old, but that inspiration will carry on.

迪克·霍伊特于周三去世,享年80岁,但他给人的鼓励将会延续下去。

In 1962, Rick Hoyt was born paralyzed and could not walk or talk. 

1962年,里克·霍伊特出生时就瘫痪了,既不能走路也不能说话。

Dick and Judy Hoyt said that doctors told them to consider putting their newborn in a special care facility.

迪克和朱迪·霍伊特说,医生告诉他们应该考虑将新生儿放在特殊护理机构。

Dick Hoyt made a point to prove those doctors wrong.

迪克·霍伊特想证明那些医生是错的。

"We cried, but we talked and we said, "No, we're not going to put Rick away. We're gonna bring Rick home and bring him up like any other child,'" Dick Hoyt told us in a past interview.

“当时我们就哭了,但我们商谈着一下接着说:'不,我们不打算把瑞克关起来。’我们要把瑞克带回家,把他像其他孩子一样抚养成人,’”迪克·霍伊特在过去的采访中告诉我们说。

In 1977, Rick Hoyt asked his father if they could run in a charity race together. 

1977年,里克·霍伊特问他的父亲,他们是否可以一起参加一场慈善赛跑。

Dick Hoyt would push his son's custom wheelchair the entire way, crossing the finish line together.

迪克·霍伊特全程推着儿子的定制轮椅,一起冲过终点线。

"When we got home that night, Rick wrote on his computer, 'Dad, when I'm running, it feels like my disability disappears.' So that was a very powerful message to me," said Hoyt, who began training immediately.

“那天晚上我们回到家后,里克在电脑上写道:'爸爸,当我跑步时,我感觉自己的残疾消失了。’所以这对我来说是一个非常有力的信息,”霍伊特说,他立即开始训练。

The pair would go on to run the Boston Marathon 32 times and more than 1,000 races in all.

两人随后参加了32次波士顿马拉松赛,总共参加了1000多场比赛。

"I'm amazed, yes, at what I'm doing. I'm running faster now when I'm 60 years old than when I was 18 years old," Hoyt said in 2005.

“是的,我对自己正在做的事感到惊讶。我现在60岁的时候跑得比我18岁的时候快,”霍伊特在2005年说。

On Thursday, Hoyt's family announced he died overnight at the age of 80. 

周四,霍伊特的家人宣布他于夜间去世,享年80岁。

Now remembered as a great athlete and father, Hoyt once shared his secret to success.

作为一名伟大的运动员和父亲,霍伊特曾分享他的成功秘诀。

"I think that Rick has, you know, really made me fulfill my life as a father," he said. 

“你知道吗,里克真的让我充实了作为一个父亲的生活,”他说。

"What's the secret? Just having a great son, I guess."

“至于秘诀是什么的话?我想,那就是拥有一个很棒的儿子!”
