我在之前的文章中提到過ㄧ部電影，她激發我勇敢的走向飛行之路，而不只是當成ㄧ個夢想。那部電影是很久以前在HBO上看到的，後來也不記得片名了，一直也都找不到。不過今天終於在網路上找到了--“Never Tell Me Never“。
這是真人真事改編的故事，51年次的Janine受傷之前是澳洲的滑雪奧運國手，收傷後竟成了ㄧ位飛行員，現在則是ㄧ位激勵人心的演說家。外國開放的環境 加上Janine過人的毅力造就了今天的她和她非常人的歷史（有誰會相信ㄧ個因為嚴重車禍造成跛行的女孩子竟也能成為飛行員呢？）
以下是Wikipedia對她的簡介（電影內容也差不多如此，）我試翻譯如下 :
Janine Lee Shepherd, AM (born 1962) was a champion Australian cross-country skier until she suffered major injuries when hit by a truck during training. Before the accident, she had been considered a strong chance to win Australia's first ever medal at the Winter Olympics.
Janine原本是澳洲越野滑雪冠軍，但是在ㄧ場訓練中被卡車撞到，傷勢嚴重。在發生意外之前，她更被認為很可能是為澳洲奪得第一面冬季奧運獎牌的熱門選手。
Though she was told she would never walk again or have children, and doctors had significant doubts as to whether she would survive at all, she defied all of these, and her story later became the focus of national attention, as well as a popular telemovie.
雖然醫生預言她不可能再站起來走路或懷孕生子，甚至懷疑她能存活下來，但她ㄧㄧ打破這些預言。她的事蹟成為全國注目的焦點，後來更被拍成電影，也相當受歡迎。
In 1986, Shepherd was cycling through the Blue Mountains in New South Wales as part of her training regime, when everything changed. She was hit by a ute, suffering massive injuries. She suffered a broken neck and back, lost five litres of blood, suffered severe lacerations to her abdominal area. Her right leg was ripped open, her collarbone and five ribs were fractured, and she suffered serious internal injuries. Doctors at first thought she would not live, but she pulled through. She was then told that she would be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of her life, and would never bear children.
1986年 Janine 在新南威爾斯藍山接受訓練時，意外發生車禍，頸部和背部折斷，嚴重失血，下腹部和右腳撕裂傷，鎖骨和五根肋骨斷裂，合併嚴重內傷。醫師最初斷定她無法存活，但是她挺了過來。後來醫師再度預言她將終其ㄧ生在輪椅上生活，同時無法懷孕生子。
Over the next few years, Shepherd began to go through the slow rehabilitation process. She was determined to defy the predictions set by her doctors, and succeeded in doing so. She was ultimately able to walk again, albeit with a slight limp, and has three children. She gained her pilots license within a year of the accident, and went on to gain an instructor's license, eventually becoming a trained aerobatics flying instructor. She also became the first female director of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
接下來幾年， Janine 開始漫長的復健過程，她成功打破醫師的預言。雖然仍有輕微的跛足，但她成功再次站立行走，而且也孕育了三名子女。在意外發生的同一年她便取得飛行執照及教練資格，後來更成為ㄧ名特技飛行教練。她也是 Civil Aviation Safety Authority 第一位的女性董事。
Shepherd has written four books about her experiences. The first, Never Tell Me Never was made into a successful telemovie.
Janine ㄧ共出版四本書，她的第一本書 Never Tell Me Never 更被翻拍成受歡迎的電視電影。
