　　The Firm Helen Keller

　　In 1882 a baby girl caught a fever that was so fierce she nearly died. She survived but the fever left its mark - she could no longer see or hear. Because she could not hear she also found it very difficult to speak.

　　1882年，一名女嬰因高發燒差點喪命。她雖幸免于難，但發燒給她留下了后遺癥-- 她再也看不見、聽不見。因為聽不見，她想講話也變得很困難。

　　Before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor - Anne Sullivan.

　　Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people's lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.

　　在她快到七歲生日時，家里便雇了一名家庭教師 -- 安尼·沙利文。

　　安尼悉心地教授海倫，特別是她感興趣的東西。這樣海倫變得溫和了而且很快學會了用布萊葉盲文朗讀和寫作。靠用手指接觸說話人的嘴唇去感受運動和震動，她又學會了觸唇意識。這種方法被稱作泰德馬，是一種很少有人掌握的技能。她也學會了講話，這對失聰的人來說是個巨大的成就。

　　Helen proved to be a remarkable scholar.While she was still at college she wrote 'The Story of My Life'. This was an immediate success and earned her enough money to buy her own house.

　　海倫證明了自己是個出色的學者，上大學時她就寫了《我的生命》。這使她取得了巨大的成功從而有能力為自己購買一套住房。

　　After her death in 1968 an organization was set up in her name to combat blindness in the developing world. Today that agency, Helen Keller International, is one of the biggest organizations working with blind people overseas

　　1968年她去世后，一個以她的名字命名的組織建立起來，該組織旨在與發展中國家存在的失明缺陷做斗爭。如今這所機構，"國際海倫·凱勒"，是海外向盲人提供幫助的最大組織之一。
