The story of Christopher Reeve’s life is one that is almost impossible to imagine — from a wildly successful Hollywood career, to the horror of life-threatening injury; Reeve experienced both. Thus, not only is he known as a superhero in the Superman films, but he is also regarded as a superhero by many in real life.
克里斯托弗·里夫的一生几乎难以想象--从极其成功的好莱坞生涯，到致命伤带来的恐惧(horror)；里夫都经历过。因此，他不仅是《超人》电影中的超级英雄，在现实生活中也被许多人视为(be regarded as)超级英雄。
