    《我的生活》经典片段中英文赏析

　　I am told that while I was still in long dresses I showed many signs of an eager, self-asserting disposition. Everything that I saw other people do I insisted upon imitating. At six months I could pipe out "How d'ye," and one day I attracted every one's attention by saying "Tea, tea, tea" quite plainly. Even after my illness I remembered one of the words I had learned in these early months. It was the word "water," and I continued to make some sound for that word after all other speech was lost. I ceased making the sound "wah-wah" only when I learned to spell the word.

　　我从家人口中得知，当我尚在襁褓中的时候，我就显示出了急躁而固执的个性。我会执意模仿别人做的每一件事情。在六个月大时，我就能咿呀说出“你——好”之类的词句。有一天，我十分清晰地说出了“茶，茶，茶”，这引起了家里每一个人的注意。即便是在我生病之后，我仍然记得在我生命最初几个月里所学到的一个词，这个词就是“水”。此后，在我所有的语言功能丧失殆尽后，我就一直模糊地发出“水”这个词的声音，只有在学习拼读的时候，我才会停止说“水——水”。

　　I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word, "love." This was before I knew many words. I had found a few early violets in the garden and brought them to my teacher. She tried to kiss me; but at that time I did not like to have any one kiss me except my mother. Miss Sullivan put her arm gently round me and spelled into my hand, "I love Helen."

　　我记得有一天早上，我第一次询问“爱”这个词的含义，这是我早就知道的一个词。当时，我在花园里发现了几株刚刚开放的紫罗兰，于是我把花朵带给了我的老师。老师试图吻我，但是在那个时候，除了母亲，我不喜欢被任何人亲吻。苏立文小姐轻轻地用胳膊揽着我，并且在我手上拼写“我爱海伦”。

　　One morning I left the cage on the window-seat while I went to fetch water for his bath. When I returned I felt a big cat brush past me as I opened the door. At first I did not realize what had happened; but when I put my hand in the cage and Tim's pretty wings did not meet my touch or his small pointed claws take hold of my finger, I knew that I should never see my sweet little singer again.

　　一天早晨，我把鸟笼放在了窗边的椅子上，然后去为它打洗澡水。就在我返回来开门时，我感觉到有一只大猫从身边溜了过去。起初我并没有意识到会出事，但是当我把手伸进笼子里时，才发现已经摸不到蒂姆漂亮的翅膀了，它尖细的小爪子也没有握住我的手指。那一刻，我知道我再也见不到我可爱的小歌唱家了。
