前篇 漸入黑暗
I was born in tuscumbia, a little town of northern Alabama, on June27, 1880.
全書(shū)開(kāi)頭，中間的插入語(yǔ)解釋出生地。
the family on my father's side is descended from caspar keller, a native of switzerland, who settled in maryland.
descend (from)起源于，如果我是某名人的后裔，可以這么玩，后邊套的定語(yǔ)從句對(duì)該名人進(jìn)行解釋說(shuō)明。
I lived up to the time of the illness that deprived me of my sight and hearing, in a small house.
在因?yàn)樯”粍儕Z視覺(jué)和聽(tīng)覺(jué)前，海倫和我們一樣，有著幸福的童年。
I especially remember the tenderness with which my mother tried to ** soothe** me in may waking hours of fret and pain, after i awoke from a half sleep, and turned my eyes, so dry and hot , to the wall, away from the once-loved light, ** which came to me dim and yet more dim each day**. until one day, when i turned my eyes, if find i can not see anything.
失明的過(guò)程，記憶猶新。
Although i had ** 19 months of light and sound ,but during the first nineteen months of my life i had caught ** glimpses of broad, green fields, the ** luminous** sky, trees and flowers which the darkness that followed could not wholly blot out . all these little one is engraved in my mind, is of darkness can not diminish. if we have once seen,"the day is ours,and what the day has shown".
僅有19個(gè)月光明世界的海倫，說(shuō)起黑暗不能完全剝奪的藍(lán)天綠樹(shù)，正能量滿滿。閉上眼，我仿佛能看到澎湃的大海，爬過(guò)的高山，還有每天早上路邊嘰嘰喳喳的麻雀，灰色的小麻雀。就這樣，很美好。
sometimes i stood between two persons who were conversing and touched their lips. i could not understand, and was ** vexed. i moved my lips and ** gesticulated frantically without result. this made me so angry at that times that i kicked and screamed until i was exhausted.
任務(wù)完成不了，我們會(huì)抓狂，然而，海倫，卻是連別人的交流都聽(tīng)不到，看不懂了……
for a long time i regarded my little sister as an ** intruder**. i knew that i had ceased to be my mother's only darling, and the thought filled me with jealousy.
幾乎每個(gè)有弟弟妹妹的孩子，都度過(guò)一段討厭跟屁蟲(chóng)的日子。
thus i came up out of Egypt and stood before sinai, and power ** divine** touched my spirit and gave it sight, so that i beheld many wonders. and from the sacred mountain i heard a voice which said,"** Knowledge give people love, light and vision**"
猶如天啟，與過(guò)去一言不合就發(fā)狂的日子說(shuō)拜拜，開(kāi)始愛(ài)的歷程。
中篇 老師到來(lái)
the most important day i remember in my life is the one on which my teacher Anne Sullivan came to my home.
莎莉文老師來(lái)了。
I did not know that i was spelling a word or even that words existed in the world; I was simply making my fingers go in ** monkey-like imitation**.
于海倫，剛開(kāi)始，學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程就是莎莉文老師在她手上寫(xiě)一串字母，她模仿一遍，盡管不知道寫(xiě)的是什么，為什么要這么寫(xiě)。
Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate out burst. I had not loved the doll. in the still, dark world ** in which I lived there** was no gentle and sympathy.
學(xué)習(xí)的過(guò)程是艱難的，此時(shí)對(duì)生命毫無(wú)感情的海倫，在和莎莉文老師爭(zhēng)辯的時(shí)候，摔爛了老師送的新玩具。
Miss Sullivan placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream ** gushed over** one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood silently, my whole attention fixed on the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt that there was a magical feeling in my mind. I suddenly understand the mystery of language, I knew then that "water" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. Water aroused my soul, and gave me light, hope, joy and freedom.
在重復(fù)“解說(shuō)”無(wú)效，煩熱惹海倫發(fā)火，扔壞玩具的情況下，莎莉文老師沒(méi)有呵斥、沒(méi)有打罵，而是帶她走出房間，感受陽(yáng)光的溫暖，用另一種方式，感受到水的流動(dòng)和清涼。
though there were barriers still before me, but i believed that barriers could be swept away in time.
通過(guò)觸摸——這種別樣的方式，激起了學(xué)習(xí)的興趣，有了新的視野。

未完待續(xù)……
