In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk.
在随后的几天里，我用这种懵懂的方式学会了拼写很多词，其中有像“pin，bat，cup”这样的名词，还有一些像“sit，stand，walk”之类的动词。
But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.
事实上，我是在和老师待了好几星期后，才知道每件东西都有一个名字。
One day, while I was playing with my new doll, Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l" and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l" applied to both.
有一天，我正在和我的新布娃娃玩的时候，苏立文小姐就把我的那个大破娃娃放在了我的膝盖上，她教我拼写“doll”，而且试图使我明白，这两个娃娃都叫“doll”。
Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g" and "w-a-t-e-r."
还有一次，我们在单词“mug”和“water”之间争得不可开交。
Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and that "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two.
苏立文小姐极力向我强调“水杯是水杯，水是水”，可是我固执地把两样东西混为一谈。
In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity.
无奈之下，她不再同我争辩，而是从头开始教我。
I became impatient at her repeated attempts and, seizing the new doll, I dashed it upon the floor.
我对她翻来覆去的重复不胜厌烦，于是我一把抓过新娃娃，把它猛地摔在地上。
I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet.
我感觉到了娃娃在我脚下四分五裂，只觉得心里十分痛快。
Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst.
既不悲伤，也不愧疚，我的情绪就那样爆发了，
I had not loved the doll.
我不再爱那个娃娃。
In the still, dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness.
显然，在我生活的寂静、黑暗的世界里，是没有强烈的柔情和关爱的。
