The Story of My Life (Excerpt)
In October,1896,I entered the Cambridge School for Young Ladies,to be prepared for Radcliffe.
When I was a little girl,I visited Wellesley and surprised
my friends by the announcement,“Some day I shall go to college
—but I shall go to Harvard!”When asked why I would not go to
Wellesley,I replied that there were only girls there.The thought
of going to college took root in my heart and became an earnest
desire,which impelled me to enter into competition for a degree with seeing and hearing girls,in the face of the strong opposition of many true and wise friends.When I left New York the idea had become a fixed purpose;and it was decided that I should go to Cambridge.This was the nearest approach I could get to Harvard and to the fulfillment of my childish declaration.
At the Cambridge School the plan was to have Miss Sullivan attend the classes with me and interpret to me the instruction given.
Of course my instructors had no experience in teaching any but normal pupils, and my only means of conversing with them was reading their lips.My studies for the first year were English history, English literature,German,Latin,arithmetic,Latin composition and occasional themes.
我的生活(节选)
1896年10月,我进入剑桥女子学院学习,这也是为迈入拉德克利夫学院做准备。

当我还是个小姑娘的时候,曾去韦尔斯利参观。

当时,我的宣言令我的朋友们为之一惊:“将来我也会上大学——但是要上就上哈佛大学!”于是他们问我为什么不选择韦尔斯利学院,而我却回答说那所学院里只有女生。

上大学的念头在我心里扎下了根,进而变为一种坚定不移的愿望。

可以说,这种愿望激励着我迈入学位争夺战的行列,而我的对手是一些耳目俱全的女孩子。

当然,我也要面对身边那些现实而明智的朋友们的强烈反对。

在我离开纽约
的时候,上大学的想法已变成不可动摇的既定目标,因此我下定决心前往剑桥。

可以说,这是为实现我上哈佛的童年宣言而选择的最接近目标的一条路。

根据剑桥女子学院的安排,苏立文小姐将同我一起上课,并负责为我翻译授课的内容。

当然,我的导师没有任何教授残疾学生的经验,所以,我与老师和同学们交流的唯一手段就是唇读。

我第一学年学习的课程包括英国历史、英国文学、德语、拉丁文、算术、拉丁文写作和一些临时性课程。
