Althoughhandicapped is widely used in both law and everyday speech to refer to people having physical or mental disabilities, those described by the word tend to prefer the expressionsdisabled or people with disabilities. To say that people arehandicapped may imply that they cannot function on a par with others, while to say that they have adisability allows more readily for the possibility that they can so function, in spite of having to do some things in different ways.It is also felt that some stigma may attach to the wordhandicapped on account of its origin in the phrase hand in cap, actually derived from a game of chancebut sometimes mistakenly believed to involve the image of a beggar.The wordhandicapped is best reserved to describe a disabled person who is unable to function owing to some property of the environment. Thus people with a physical disability requiring a wheelchair may or may not behandicapped, depending on whether wheelchair ramps are made available to them.
盡管在法律上和在日常用語(yǔ)里handicapped 這個(gè)詞被廣泛使用以言指那些有生理缺陷的，智力低下的人， 那些被這個(gè)詞描繪的人們更喜歡disabled 或 people with disabilities 這兩種說(shuō)法。 說(shuō)人們是handicapped 可能暗示他們不可能象別的人那樣水平的工作， 而當(dāng)說(shuō)他們只是disability 時(shí)，為他們能夠如此工作提供了更大的可能性和余地， 盡管他們是用不同的方式去做同樣的事情。一些附著于handicapped 這個(gè)詞的一些特點(diǎn)是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)詞來(lái)源于 hand in cap 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)， 它實(shí)際上起源于比賽中的機(jī)會(huì)，但有時(shí)被人誤會(huì)加入了乞丐的形象。單詞handicapped 這個(gè)詞用來(lái)形容那些由于某些客觀環(huán)境問(wèn)題而無(wú)法工作的人是最好的了， 因此生理有缺陷的而需要輪椅的人，是否是handicapped 要看為他們準(zhǔn)備的輪椅的坡道是否可以使用
