银幕英语纵橫谈: 聋哑失明人的奋斗过程
So how did this child, blinded and deafened at nineteen months old, grow up to become a world-famous author and public speaker?(那么,这样一个在十九个月大时就又盲又聋的孩子,是怎样成長、並成為世界著名的作家和演说家的呢?)
电視节目主持聊聊两段话就逗起了觀众的好奇心,具見撰稿人功力深邃,值得觀赏,引為借鏡。
The fever cut her off from the outside world, depriving her of sight and sound. It was as if she had been thrown into a dark prison cell from which there could be no release.(高燒把她和外界隔开,使她失去了視力和聲音,她彷彿給拋入黑暗的牢獄里,无法脫身。)
此时,电視画面一片漆黑,鴉雀无聲,教人不寒而慄。
相信读友都会感到这种與世隔绝的窘境十分可怕。然而,童年时代的海伦凱勒(Helen Keller)卻胆识过人,且听她怎样克服重重困难:
Luckily, Helen was not someone who gave up easily. Soon she began to explore the world by using her other senses.(幸而海伦並不是个輕易屈服的人,不久她就开始运用其他感官來探测这个世界了。)
影响一代偉人海伦凱勒的人有两个﹕她的母亲和她的導師安妮修莉雲(Anne Sullivan)。 |
