When Chris McCausland won Strictly Come Dancing(英国广播公司热门舞蹈真人秀) in 2024, he held his trophy aloft(高高地；在空中) and said: “It’s for everyone out there that thought and got told they couldn’t do something. It just shows with opportunity and support and determination(决心；坚定), anything can happen.” Later that month, he delivered Channel 4’s Alternative Christmas Message(第四频道另类圣诞致辞). In it, McCausland warned that Access to Work (AtW), a scheme run by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), was under threat(受到威胁) due to a lack of funding.
2024年，当克里斯·麦考斯兰赢得《舞动奇迹》时，他高举奖杯说：“这献给所有那些曾认为自己或被告知自己做不到的人。它恰恰表明，只要有机会、支持与决心，一切皆有可能。”同月晚些时候，他播出了第四频道的《另类圣诞致辞》。在致辞中，麦考斯兰警告说，由就业与养老金部（DWP）运营的“工作通道”（AtW）计划因资金短缺而面临威胁。
AtW provides grants(补助金；拨款) to employers and self-employed workers to cover the cost of reasonable adjustments(合理调整（残障人士工作便利）) a disabled person may need in the workplace. Behind McCausland’s jovial reflection on the value of different mince pies was a heartfelt plea to protect this little-known yet vital cog in our national machine.(在麦考斯兰对不同肉馅派价值的轻松调侃背后，是一个恳切的呼吁：保护这个鲜为人知却至关重要的国家机器齿轮。)
AtW 向雇主和自雇工作者提供补助金，以支付残障人士在工作场所可能需要的合理调整费用。在麦考斯兰对不同肉馅派价值的轻松调侃背后，是一个恳切的呼吁：保护这个鲜为人知却至关重要的国家机器齿轮。
Like Chris, I cannot do what I do without support. I am visually impaired(视力受损的) (I have 5% vision) and I am a television writer. I’ve worked on shows such as Sex Education, Call the Midwife and The Hack(英国知名电视节目). I am currently working on a drama for BBC One about the newspaper editor Harry Evans. My job is my passion, my obsession(痴迷；执着), my livelihood and a huge part of my identity. But thanks to(由于；多亏) recent cuts to my AtW support, it has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible(插入语，表示让步“即使不是不可能”), for me to perform.
和克里斯一样，没有支持我无法从事我的工作。我有视力障碍（仅有5%的视力），是一名电视编剧。我曾参与《性爱自修室》《呼叫助产士》和《黑客》等剧集。目前我正在为BBC一台创作一部关于报业编辑哈里·埃文斯的剧集。我的工作是我的热情、我的痴迷、我的生计，也是我身份认同的重要部分。但由于最近我的AtW支持被削减，我的工作已变得越来越困难，甚至不可能。
