新迪杰编曲出来的人:海伦·凯勒的英文资料

Helen Keller at the age of 19 months,(not quite 2 years old) was a happy, healthy child. She was already saying a few words.

Then she had a high fever which caused her to become deaf and blind. No longer could she see nor hear. She felt lost. She would hang on to her mother's skirt to get around. She would feel of people's hands to try to find out what they were doing. She learned to do many things this way. She learned to milk a cow and knead the bread dough.

She could recognize people by feeling of their faces or their clothes.

She made up signs with her hands so she could "talk" to her family. She had 60 different signs. If she wanted bread, she pretended to be cutting a loaf. If she wanted ice cream, she would hug her shoulders and shiver.

Helen was a very bright child. She became very frustrated * because she couldn't talk. She became very angry and began to throw temper tantrums * . The family knew they had to do something to help her.

They found a teacher named Anne Sullivan. Miss Sullivan herself had been blind, but had an operation and regained her sight. She understood what Helen was feeling.

She taught Helen the signs for the letters of the alphabet. Then she would "spell" the words in Helen's hand to communicate * with her.

One day Anne led Helen to the water pump and pumped water on her hand. She spelled the letters W-A-T-E-R as the water ran over Helen's hand. She did this over and over again. At last it dawned on Helen that the word "water" meant the water which she felt pouring over her hand. This opened up a whole new world for her. She ran everywhere asking Anne the name of different things and Anne would spell the words in her hand. This was the key which unlocked the world for her.

She eventually stopped having the tantrums. Anne taught her for years. Helen learned to read Braille * . This was a system of raised dots representing letters. A blind person could read by feeling of the dots.

When she went to college, her teacher Anne went with her and tapped out the words of the instructors into her student's hand.

Helen had an amazing memory, and she also had skills very few people have ever been able to develop. She could put her fingers to a person's lips and understand the words which were being spoken.

While she was in college she wrote her book called "The Story of My Life". With the money she earned from the book she was able to buy a house.

She became famous and traveled around the world speaking to groups of people. She met many important and well-known people as she traveled.

Helen Keller was successful because of her determination. However, many people helped her. The most important person in her life was Anne Sullivan who stayed with her for 50 years.

海伦．亚当斯．凯勒（Helen Adams Keller）於 1880 年 6 月 27 日，诞生於美国阿拉巴马州的 Tuscumbia，她在 18 个月大时发了一次高烧。 从此以后，海伦凯勒变成全盲的聋哑人士。

6 岁时，柏金斯盲校（Perkins School for the Blind）的安．曼斯菲尔德．莎莉雯（Anne Mansfield Sullivan）老师，被聘为凯勒的老师。 20 岁的莎莉雯老师教导凯勒手语和点字。William Gibson 为此老师和学生的故事编写了舞台剧和电影，「The Miracle Worker」。

凯勒到 10 岁时，开始学习说话。 霍勒斯曼学校（Horace Mann School）的莎拉．傅乐瓦（Sarah Fullerwas）则是凯勒的第一个说话老师。

1898 年时，凯勒进入了剑桥女子学校（Cambridge School for Young Ladies）。 1900 年的秋天，凯勒进入雷地克里夫学院（Radcliffe College）。 1904 年，凯勒以优异的成绩取得文学学士学位。

多年以来，莎莉雯老师一直留在凯勒身边。 她将教科书、上课内容和对话写入凯勒手中，让凯勒了解相关内容。

凯勒的个人圣战

1915 年，凯勒参加了日后改名为美国点字出版社（American Braille Press）的 Permanent Blind Relief War Fund 理事会。

1924 年，年轻的凯勒发起海伦凯勒基金会（Helen Keller Endowment Fund）。 同年，凯勒加入美国盲人基金会（American Foundation for the Blind），做为全国和国际关系顾问。

1925 年 6 月 30 日，凯勒在国际狮子会於美国俄亥俄州 Cedar Point 的年会上发表演说。 她要求狮子会成为「失明人的武士，战胜黑暗之军」。(请按这里来阅读她的完整演讲。) 她说：「我为你们开启机会的窗。 我正敲著你的大门。」

1946 年，凯勒成为美国全球盲人基金会（American Foundation for Overseas Blind）的国际关系顾问（该基金会为美国盲人基金会的姊妹会）。 她游遍 35 个国家。

凯勒的一生被拍摄成电影。 1955 年，「海伦凯勒传」赢得了美国电影艺术与科学学院所颁发的奥斯卡最佳纪录片奖。

凯勒最后一次是在 1961 年，美国华盛顿特区的公开场合出现。她接受狮子会的终身服务人道奖。

凯勒於 1968 年 6 月 1 日过世，享年 87 岁。 她於 43 年前对於狮子会的呼吁激励了许多国际组织，将「视力保健以及与盲人合作」活动视为其主要服务宗旨。

1971 年，阿拉巴马州的狮子会兴建了「海伦凯勒纪念公园」。 该公园位於 Ivy Green，凯勒出生地。 由於该公园的落成，37 国的狮子会相继奉献他们的心力。 该纪念公园的焦点，是凯勒的半身雕像，上面刻有她的名言「我为你们开启机会的窗」。
