We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance¹ of the honeysucklewith which it was covered. Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand underthe spout². As the cool stream gushed³ over one hand she spelled into the other the wordwater, first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed⁴ upon the motions of herfingers. Suddenly I felt a misty⁵ consciousness as of something forgotten-a thrill of returningthought; and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that"w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That livingword awakened⁶ my soul, gave it light, hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still, it is true,but barriers that could in time be swept away.

 

我们走在通往大房子的路上，金银花的芬芳令人心旷神怡。有人开始压水，我的老师则把我的手放在了水管边上。当一股清冽的水流喷涌到我的一只手上时，她就在我的另一只手上拼写“water”这个词，起初是慢慢地，后来变得飞快。蓦然间，我感觉到一种被遗忘了的朦胧意识—或者说，一种沉睡意识的回归和觉醒；神秘的语言世界展现在我面前。于是我知道了“water”的意思是奇妙而凉爽的东西从我的手上流过。这个具有生命力的词语唤醒了我的灵魂，它带给了我光明、希望、欢乐，将我置于一个无限自由的空间！虽然感官的藩篱依然存在，但是藩篱必将会被及时地清理干净。
