If I did not know the words and idioms necessary to express my thoughts she supplied them,
假如我理解不了她給我的那些詞匯和成語，
even suggesting conversation when I was unable to keep up my end of the dialogue.
乃至于無法進(jìn)行對(duì)話的時(shí)候，我甚至想同老師直接交談。
This process was continued for several years; for the deaf child does not learn in a month, or even in two or three years, the numberless idioms and expressions used in the simplest daily intercourse.
這種過程持續(xù)了好幾年之久。對(duì)于那些失聰兒童來說，在日常交流中使用的最簡(jiǎn)單的成語和表達(dá)方式真是難以計(jì)數(shù)，你根本無法在短短一個(gè)月，乃至兩三年的時(shí)間里掌握它們。
The little hearing child learns these from constant repetition and imitation.
那些有聽力的孩子可以從不斷的重復(fù)和模仿中學(xué)習(xí)這些語言。
The conversation he hears in his home
他們?cè)诩依锫牭酱笕藗兊慕徽劊?/div>
stimulates his mind and suggests topics and calls forth the spontaneous expression of his own thoughts.
這些談話無形中刺激了他們思維的發(fā)展，而交談的話題也是他們感興趣的，因此無須刻意學(xué)習(xí)，他們自然而然地就會(huì)表達(dá)出自己的思想。
This natural exchange of ideas is denied to the deaf child.
這種天生的交流思想的方式在失聰兒童那里是行不通的。
My teacher, realizing this, determined to supply the kinds of stimulus I lacked.
我的老師意識(shí)到了這一點(diǎn)，于是她決心彌補(bǔ)我身上缺失的這部分本能。
This she did by repeating to me as far as possible, verbatim, what she heard,
她逐字逐句，反反復(fù)復(fù)地教我，
and by showing me how I could take part in the conversation.
告訴我怎樣參與同人們的對(duì)話。
But it was a long time before I ventured to take the initiative,
這是一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的過程，后來我終于能主動(dòng)同人交談了；
and still longer before I could find something appropriate to say at the right time.
又過了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，我才掌握了在恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間說出恰當(dāng)?shù)脑挕?/div>
The deaf and the blind find it very difficult to acquire the amenities of conversation.
對(duì)于一個(gè)盲人或者聾人而言，掌握對(duì)話的技藝確實(shí)很難。
How much more this difficulty must be augmented in the case of those who are both deaf and blind!
而對(duì)于那些既盲又聾的人而言，其遭遇的阻礙可謂難上加難！
They cannot distinguish the tone of the voice or, without assistance, go up and down the gamut of tones that give significance to words;
他們不能辨別語氣的快慢、聲調(diào)的高低，
nor can they watch the expression of the speaker's face,
也無法觀察講話者的面部表情，
and a look is very often the soul of what one says.
而一個(gè)眼神通常能展示出講話者的內(nèi)心世界。
