二、课文分析
The Letter “A”
1 I was now five, and still I showed no real sign of intelligence, I showed no apparent interest in things except for my toes – more especially those on my left foot. I used to lie on my back all the time in the kitchen or ,on bright warm days ,out in the garden ,surrounded by a family that loved me and hoped for me and that made me part of it. I was lonely, imprisoned in a world of my own ,unable to communicate with others, cut off, separated from them as though a glass wall stood between my existence and theirs, I longed to run about and play with the rest, but I was unable to break loose from my imprisonment.
我现在已经满五岁了,但是仍然没有表现出有任何智力,除了我的脚趾头,尤其是我左脚的脚趾头。我对任何事情都没有展示出任何兴趣,我过去常常在厨房里仰躺着,周围围绕着我的家人,他们很爱我,并且为我祈祷,让我成为家庭的一分子。我当时非常的寂寞,囚禁在我自己的世界当中。也不能跟别人去沟通,与世隔绝。和他们之间有一道屏障,我非常希望能够跟着他们到处跑,但是我却无法从囚禁当中解脱出来。
2 Then suddenly, it happened! In a moment everything was changed, my future life took a definite shape ,my mother's faith in me rewarded ,and her secret fear changed into open triumph.
然后,奇迹发生了!那一瞬间改变了以后的一切:我未来的生活有了眉目;我母亲对我的信念得到了回报;她内心深处的忧虑变成公开表露的胜利的喜悦。
(1) take shape 成形
The organization began to take shape.

The plan is beginning to take shape in my mind.
这个计划在我脑子里逐渐有了眉目。
