We reported last week that Helen Keller suffered from a strange sickness when she was only 19 months old. It made her completely blind and deaf. For the next five years she had no way of successfully communicating with other people. Then a teacher Anne Sullivan arrived from Boston to help her. Miss Sullivan herself had once been blind. She tried to teach Helen to live like other people. She taught her how to use her hands as a way of speaking. Miss Sullivan took Helen out into the woods to explore nature. They also went to the circus, the theatre., and even to factories. Miss Sullivan explained everything in the language she and Helen used, a language of touch, of fingers and hands. Helen also learned how to ride to horse, to swim, to row a boat, and even to climb trees.

Helen Keller once wrote about these early days.

One beautiful spring morning I was alone in my room, reading. Suddenly a wonderful smell in the air made me get up and put out my hands . The spirit of spring seemed to be passing in my room. "What is it?"I asked. The next minute I knew it was coming from mimosa tree outside. I walked outside to the edge of the garden, toward the tree. There it was, shaking in the warm sunshine. Its long branches, so heavy with flowers, almost touched the ground. I walked through the flowers to the tree itself and then just stood silent. Then I put my foot on the tree and pulled myself up into it. I climbed higher and higher until I reached a little seat. Long ago someone had put it there. I sat for a long time... Nothing in all the world was like this.

Later Helen learned that nature could be cruel as well as beautiful. Strangely enough she discovery this in a different kind of tree.

One day my teacher and I were returning from a long walk. It was a fine morning but it started to get warm and heavy. We stopped to rest two or three times. Our last stop was under a cherry tree, a short way from our house. The shade was nice and the tree was easy to climb. Miss Sullivan climbed with me. It was so coot up in the tree, we decided to have lunch there. I promised to sit still until she went to the house for some food. Suddenly a change came over the tree. I knew the sky was black because all the heat which meant light to me had died out of the air. A strange odor came up to me from the earth . I knew it. It was the odor which always comes before a thunder storm. I felt alone, cut off from friends, high above the firm earth. I was frightened and wanted my teacher. wanted to get down from that tree quickly, but I was no help to myself. There was a moment of' terrible silence. Then a sudden and violent wind began to shake the tree and its leaves kept coming down all around me. I almost fell. I wanted to jump, but was afraid to do so. I tried to make myself small in the tree as the branches rubbed against me. Just us I thought that both the tree and I were going to fall, a hand touched me . It was my teacher. I held her with all my strength, then shook with joy to feel the solid earth under my feet.

Miss Sullivan stayed with Helen for many year. She taught Helen how to read, how to write and how to speak. She helped her to get ready for school and college. More than anything, Helen wanted to do what others did, and do it just as well. In time Helen did go to college and completed her studies with high honors. But it was a hard struggle. Few of the books she needed were written in the Braille language that the blind could read by touching pages. Miss Sullivan and others had to teach her what was in these books by forming words in her hands. The study of geometry and physics was especially difficult. Helen could only learn about squares, triangles and other geometrical forms by making them with wires. She kept feeling the different shapes of these wires until she could see them in her mind.

During her second year college Miss Keller wrote the story of her life and what a college meant to her. This is what she wrote.

My first day at Radcliffe college was of great interest. Some powerful force inside me made me test my mind. I wanted to learn if it was as good as that of others. I learned many things at college. One thing I slowly learned was that knowledge does not just mean power, as some people say. Knowledge leads to happiness because to have it is to know what is true and real. To know what great man of the past had thought, said, and done is to feel the heartbeat of humanity down through the ages.

All of Helen Keller's knowledge reached her mind through her sense of touch and smell, and of course her feelings. To know a flower was to touch it, feel it and smell it. This sense of touch became greatly developed as she got older. She once said that hands speak almost as loudly as words. She said the touch of some hands frightened her. The people seemed so empty of joy that when she touched their cold fingers it is as if she were shaking bands with a storm. She found the hands of others full of sunshine and warmth. Strangely enough Helen Keller learned to love things she could not hear, music for example. She did this through her sense of touch. When waves of air beat against her, she felt them. Sometimes she put her hand to a singer's throat. She often stood for hours with her hands on a piano while it was played. Once she listened to an organ. Its powerful songs made her moved her body in rhythm with the music. She also liked to go to museums. She thought she understood sculptures as well as others. Her fingers told her the true size and the feel of the material.

What did Helen Keller think of herself, what did she think about the tragic lost of her sight and hearing. This is what she wrote as a young girl.

Sometimes a sense of loneliness covers me like a cold mist. I sit alone, and wait at life ' s shut-door. Beyond there is light and music and sweet friendship. But I may not enter. Silence sits heavy upon my soul. Then comes hope with a sweet smile and said
softly " There is joy in forgetting oneself And so I tried to make the light in others' eyes my sun, the music in others' ears my symphony, the smile on others' lips my happiness.
Helen Keller was tall and strong. When she spoke, her face looked very alive. It helped to give meaning to her words. She often felt the faces of close friends when she was talking to them to discover their feelings. She and Miss Sullivan both were known for their sense of humor. They enjoyed jokes and laughing at funny things that happened to themselves or others. Helen Keller had to work hard to support herself after she finished college. She spoke to many groups around the country. She wrote several books and she made one movie based on her life. Her main goal was to increase public interest in the difficulties of people with physical problems. The work Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan did has been written and talked about for many years. Their success showed how people can conquer great difficulties. Anne Sullivan died in 1936, blind herself. Before Miss Sullivan died, Helen wrote and said many kind things about her.

It was the genius of my teacher, her sympathy, her love which made my first years of education so beautiful. My teacher is so near to me that I do not think of myself as a part from her. All the best of me belongs to her. Everything I am today was awakened by her loving touch .

Helen Keller died on June 1st, 1968. She was 87 year old. Her message of courage and hope remains.

上周我们播讲了海伦·凯勒年仅19个月时患了一种奇怪的病，导致了她完全成了瞎子和聋子。此后的5年里，她无法同别人交流。后来从波士顿来了一位叫安妮·沙利文的老师来帮助她。沙利文小姐曾一度是盲人。她想人设法教诲论能像别人一样生活。她教海伦怎样用手作为说话的工具。沙利义小姐带海伦出去，到树林中探索人自然。她们还到马戏团、剧院、甚至去工厂。沙利文小姐用她们俩使用的语言给海伦讲解各种事物，她们之间的语言就是用手和手指触摸的语言。海伦还学会广骑马、游泳、划船，甚至爬树。

海伦·凯勒有一次写出了她早年的这些事。

在一个美好的春天的早晨，我独自一个人坐在房间里读书。突然有种奇妙的气味便得我不由自主地站起身来，伸出了双手。春天的气息好像在从我的房间里走过。"这是什么呢？"我问。但随后我就知道了，它来自室外的合欢树。我走出门去，到了花园的边沿，向树走过去。树在温暖的阳光下晃动着。树上长长的枝条挂满了鲜花，被压得快碰到地面了。我从鲜花中穿过，走到树下，然后静静地站在那儿。后来，我蹬着树干爬了上去，爬呀爬，最后爬到了一个小座位上。小座位是很久前有人安放在那里的。我在那里坐了好长时间……世界上任何东西都没法和这种感受相比。

后来，海伦懂得了，自然界不仅是美好的，也是残酷的。巧合地是，她是在另一棵不同的树上悟出的这个道理。

有一天，我的老师和我走了一段长路后正在向回走。那天早晨天气凉爽，但慢慢变得又热又问起来。我们停下来休息了二三次。我们最后停下来的地方是在一棵樱桃树下，离我家的房子没几步远了。树荫很好，这棵树也很容易爬。沙利文小姐和我一起爬了上去。在树上真是凉快透了。我们决定在树上吃午饭。她去家里拿吃的，我答应她我在树上坐着不动。突然树上的情况出现了变化。我知道是天空变．复了，因为空气中的热消失了，对我来说，热就是光。我闻到地上冒出了一种气味。我了解这种气味。这种气味总是在暴风雨到来之前出现。我感到孤单，身边没有朋友，高高在上，脚不着地。我吓坏了，想让我的老师快来。我想从树上赶快下去，但自己工没有办法。一阵儿可怕的寂静后，突然暴风开始把树晃动起来，树叶在我头上和周围纷纷落下。我差点儿摔下来。我想从树上往下跳，可是又害怕。当树枝在我身上擦来擦去时，我尽力卷成一团。正当我想这树和我会一起倒下时，一只手托住了我，正是我的老师来了。我用全身的力气抓住了她，当脚着地时，我高兴得都颤抖起来了。

沙利文小姐和海伦相处了多年。她教会了海伦怎样读书、怎样写字、怎样说话。她帮助海伦上学，而且上了大学。海伦非常想做别人能做的事，而且同别人做得一样好。后来，海伦真地上了大学，而且以优异的成绩完成了学业。但是，也真是不容易。她所需要的书中没有几本是用盲文（盲人用手摸着书读的语言）写的。因此很多书都要靠沙利文小姐或别人把这些书写在她手上。几何和 物理特别难学。海伦只能用金属丝来学习正方形、三角形和其他的几何图形。她要反复感觉这些金属丝的形状，直到能在自己脑子里看到它们为止。

在大学二年级的时候，凯勒小姐写出了她生活中的感受和大学对她意味着什么。她是这样写的；

在拉德克利夫大学的第一天我兴趣盎然。我内心深处有一股强大的力量促使我检验一下我的脑子够不够用.我想看一看自己能否学得和别人一样好。在大学里，懂得了很多事情。我逐渐明白的一件事是：有些人说，知识就是力量。但不单是这样，知识还是引人快乐的桥梁，因为掌握了知识就知道了什么是真正的和真 实的。去了解过去的伟人们是怎么想的、怎么说的,怎么做的就等于去感受人类一代代人的心脏跳动。

海伦·凯勒所有的知识都是通过触觉。嗅觉和感觉获取的。要了解一朵花，就要去摸、去闻、去感受。随着她年龄的增长，她的触觉功能得到了高度开发。有一次她说，手几乎和嘴一样可以说话。她说，有些人的手让她摸起来产生恐惧。当她触到这种人的冰冷 的手指时，他们好像没有欢乐，她好像是在和暴风雨握手。而她发现另外一种人的手充满了阳光和温暖。令人奇怪地是，海伦·凯勒学会了喜欢她听不到的东西，比如音乐。她做到这一点靠的是触觉＿当音乐的节拍使空气产生的波动触及到她时，她能感觉到。有时她把手放在唱歌的人的喉咙..一架钢琴在演奏时，她常常用手抚摸着钢琴站上几个小时。有一次她听风琴演奏。风琴奏出的有力的歌曲声使得她按着音乐的节拍晃起了身体。她还喜欢去博物馆。她认为，她对雕塑的理解和别人没有两样。她的手指能告诉她物体的大小和质地。

海伦·凯勒怎样看待自己，失去视力和听力悲剧发生后是怎么想的？她少女时是这样写的：

有时，寂寞感像寒冷的薄雾笼罩着我。我独自坐着，在生命关闭的门内等待着。门外是光明、音乐和甜蜜的友谊，但是不让我融于其中。寂静沉重地压在我心头。后来希望微笑着向我走来，轻柔地说，"忘掉自我，就是快乐。"于是，我就竭力把别人可以看到的光明化作我的太阳，把别人可以听到音乐化作我的交响曲，把别人背上的微笑化作我的喜悦。

海伦·凯勒高个头儿，很强壮。她讲话时，脸上生气勃勃。这样可加强她语言的表达力。当她和好朋友谈话想了解他们的情感对，她往往能感觉到他们面部表情的变化。她和沙利文小姐都以具有幽默感而闻名。不管是她们自己的还是别人的开心的事儿，他们总是喜欢开玩笑和逗乐儿。海伦·凯勒大学毕业后，必须努力工作来养活自己。她到全国各地给许多人讲话，写了几本书，还制作了一部以她的生活为原型的电影。她的主要目的就是让公众注意到残疾人的困难。海伦·凯勒和沙利文小姐的事迹被写成书籍，多年来被人称颂着。她们的成功表明了人能征服苦难。安妮.沙利文1936年去世，去世时也成了盲人。在沙利文小姐去世前，海伦凯勒写道和谈到许多有关沙利文小姐对她的慈爱。

正是我的老师的天才、同情心、情爱使我早年得到美好的教育。我的老师太亲近我了，以致让我觉得我是她身上不可分开的一部分。我所具有的最好的东西都属于她。我的一切都是她爱的抚摸唤醒的。

海伦·凯勒1968年6月1日逝世，享年87岁。她留给后人的是勇往直前，追求希望。
