喬什?森德奎斯特兒時因?yàn)榘┌Y被截掉了左腿，但是身體殘疾的他不改樂觀性格，用機(jī)智幽默活出了自己的精彩人生。如今，他不僅成為一名勵志演說家，還因?yàn)槊磕耆f圣節(jié)驚艷眾人的“獨(dú)腿cos”成了社交媒體紅人。

　　Josh Sundquist was diagnosed with cancer when he was nine years old, and was told he had a 50% chance of surviving. He lost his left leg, despite chemotherapy, but by thirteen he was cancer-free, and by sixteen, he was ski-racing. Now, Sundquist is a motivational speaker that's become famous on social media for his clever, amputation-incorporating Halloween costumes.

　　喬什?森德奎斯特九歲時被診斷出癌癥，并得知自己只有50%的幸存希望。盡管接受了化療，他還是失去了自己的左腿，但13歲時，森德奎斯特的癌癥痊愈了。16歲時他開始滑雪。森德奎斯特如今成了一名勵志演說家，他因利用獨(dú)腿打造機(jī)智的萬圣節(jié)裝扮，而在社交媒體走紅。

　　"I've always dealt with the social discomfort of my disability by having a sense of humor," Sundquist explains. "But now I'm more comfortable with who I am and what I look like, and I guess with these Halloween costumes you could even say that I celebrate what makes me different. Which may be either weird or refreshing, depending on your perspective." He explains the inspiration for his costumes below:

　　森德奎斯特解釋說，“我經(jīng)常會用一種幽默的方式來對待身體殘疾帶來的社交不適感。但，我對自己身份和樣子更加滿意，我想你甚至可以說，我用這些萬圣節(jié)服裝來展示自己的與眾不同。這也許會讓人覺得怪異或者新鮮，一切決于你怎么看?！彼忉屃艘韵路b的靈感來源于：
