我生命中最重要的日子 海伦·凯特
. （2）

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
I felt approaching footsteps I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Some one took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
你是否曾经航行在浓雾弥漫的大海上，眼前白茫茫一片。似乎把你包裹的严严实实。大船一面用铅锤和侧深绳探测着海水的深浅，一面紧张焦急地朝海岸边摸索前行。而你的心砰砰直跳，唯恐意外发生。在开始接受教育之前，我就像这样一条船，只是没有罗盘，没有侧深绳，无法得知离海港有多远。“光明，给我光明”！这是我内心发出的无声的呼喊，也就在这个时刻，爱的光芒照到了我的身上。
我感到有脚步朝我走来，伸出手以为是母亲。不知是谁抓住了我的手把我拉了过去，紧紧的搂在她的怀里。就是他为我展示了世间的各种事物，而且最重要的是她给了我深深的爱。
