It has been over a decade since Stephanie Wheen set out to(着手做，开始做) create the UK’s first play and leisure(休闲，闲暇) centre specifically(专门地，特意地) designed for disabled children.
斯蒂芬妮·惠恩着手创建英国首个专为残障儿童设计的游乐休闲中心，至今已过去十多年。
Over the past 10 years, she and her team have raised millions of pounds, meticulously(一丝不苟地，细致地) researched how to make the centre as inclusive as possible(尽可能包容) and spent years trialling(试用，试验) sessions with disabled children. And soon, the doors to Gympanzees will open for the first time.
过去十年间，她和团队筹集了数百万英镑，细致研究了如何让中心尽可能包容，并花了数年时间与残障儿童一起试运行活动。很快，Gympanzees的大门将首次敞开。
“It’s been so long in the making(在酝酿中，在形成中) – I try picturing it and it’s just a lot of smiley people. I expect families are going to be quite awestruck(充满敬畏的，震撼的) because it’s been made for them when they’re so used to there being nothing,” said Wheen.
“这件事酝酿了太久——我试着想象它，脑海中全是笑容满面的人。我想家庭会非常震撼，因为这是为他们而建的，而他们早已习惯了什么都没有，”惠恩说。
