Helen Keller and Her Teacher

Page 8

Helen Keller and Her Teacher Most people do not notice the ordinary things in life, even though they can

see and hear. However, those who are blind and deaf, wish to see and hear

every moment of their lives, such as Helen Keller.

In 1880, Helen Keller was born with the ability to see and hear, but at

nineteen months old she fell ill and lost the ability to do either of them.

It seemed that no one could help Helen until Anne Sullivan came on March

3, 1887. Anne gave Helen a doll and spelled the word “d-o-l-l” on her hand.

This was a new “game”, finger spelling. Although Helen could repeat the word,

she couldn’t understand what it meant.

After a month, a miracle occurred at last. When Anne pumped water over

Helen’s hand, she spelled “w-a-t-e-r” in Helen’s hand. Helen stood still—

suddenly language came back! Then Helen asked for the name of everything

she touched.

Page 9

From that time, Helen left the house each day to search for things to learn.

She learned more and more new words. In time Helen showed she could learn

foreign languages, such as Latin, Greek, French and German. Three years

later, she began to learn to speak as other people did.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many years. She taught Helen how to

read, write, speak and use a typewriter. And most importantly, she taught

Helen how to think. At last, Helen did go to college and completed her studies

with high honours .

The story Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked

about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great

difficulties. Helen ever wrote and said many things about her teacher, Anne

Sullivan: “It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, and her love that

made my first years of education so beautiful. Everything I have today was

awakened by her loving touch.”

1. Most people do not notice the ordinary things in life, even though they

can see and hear. 即使大多数人都能看到听到，他们却没有注意到生活中一些普通的事物。

Although Helen could repeat the word, she couldn’t understand what it

meant. 尽管海伦可以重写这个词，却不明白这是什么意思。 although, even though 都表示“虽然，即使，尽管”之意， although 语气

较弱， even though 带有强调意味而显得语气更强。如： Although they are poor, they are happy. 虽然他们很穷，但很快乐。 Even though it was raining, she walked to work. 即使下雨，她也是走着去

工作的。

2. However, those who are blind or deaf, wish to see or

hear every moment of their lives, such as Helen Keller. 但是那些失明或是失聪的人 , 却希望在生活中的每一刻都能看到或听到，正如海伦 · 凯勒一样。however 作为连词时，通常意为“但是”，位于它所引导的从句之前或之后，或位于第一个词或短语之后。如：I’ll offer help to Tom. However, he may not want it. 我要给汤姆提供帮助，然而他可能不需要。

Page 14

3. It seemed that no one could help Helen until Anne Sullivan came.

似乎没有人可以帮助海伦，直到安妮 · 沙利文来到海伦的身边。 seem 是连系动词，意思是“好像”、“似乎”。 It

seems/seemed +that 从句，译为“看起来好像……”。 如： It seemed that nobody knew anything about the matter.

看来没有人知道这件事。 4. At last Helen did go to college and completed her studies with

high honors. 最后海伦确实上了大学，并且以优异的成绩完成了学业。 助动词“ do” 在本句中起强调谓语的作用。在英语中，通常把助

动词 do ， does ， did 放在一般现在时和一般过去时的句子中动词原形前，以强调谓语。如：

He did tell all that had happened to him. 他确实把发生的事情都说了。
