世界上第一位聋哑作家海伦凯勒的故事（来自美国）
On March 3, 1887, the lives of two
amazing women were changed forver when Anne Sullivan, a poor
university graduate,arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller
family to teach their six-year-old daughter Helen. It was a
difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of
illness. Anne had been
suggested to the Kellers by her university professor,a close friend
of Mr Keller. Before she arrived,Anne expected her new pupil to be
a quiet,weak child. But Helen was nothing like that, When Anne
first walked through the Keller's door,the energetic Helen
nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne's face,clothing
and bag.
Helen was used to visitors bringing
her sweets,and angrily tried to force open Anne's case to take her
candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen
to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful
student-teacher relationships in history.
Anne Sullivan was only twenty years
old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the
child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen's
sometimes wild behavior.
Her well-meaning parents allowed
Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an
environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she
and Helen live in a small house nearby.
As soon as Helen began learning,it
became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly
learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also
speak.
In 1900, Helen started studying at
Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She
was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university
degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen's books
and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at
Helen's side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous
writer, and fought for disabled people's rights until her death on
Jun 1,1968.

安妮是由凯勒先生的亲密朋友、即安妮的大学老师推荐到凯勒家的。她到来之前，安妮期待的新学生是一个安静的、虚弱的孩子，但海伦不是那样的。当安妮第一次走入凯勒家中，精力充沛的海伦几乎要撞上她，急于去感觉安妮的脸、衣服和包。
海伦习惯于来访者带来糖，生气地尽力打开安妮的箱包拿糖果，但安妮通过让海伦玩她的手表使她镇定下来，由此开启了历史上最成功的师生关系。
安妮开始来教海伦时仅20岁，她不仅教学校的常规科目，也要控制海伦有时的狂躁行为。
海伦好心的父母允许海伦在家做她所喜欢的事，意识到如此环境不适合学习，安妮要求她和海伦住在旁边的一间小房子里。
海伦一开始学习时，表现出特殊才能，很快学会读、写，10岁时能开口说话了。
在1900年，海伦考上拉德克利夫学院（属哈佛大学），并1904年在班上第一个毕业，她是获得大学学位的第一个聋哑人，她如何实现的？安妮读了所有海伦的著作并标识这些信息于手迹中，安妮一直在海伦身边直到她1936年离世。海伦变成了世界知名作家，并为残疾人权斗争直到1968年7月1日去世。（本文潜龙家教谭老师亲笔翻译并录入）
