　　Annie Sullivan, was an American teacher best known as the instructor and companion of Helen Keller.

　　安妮·莎利文是一位美国教师，因其和海伦·凯勒亦师亦友的关系而闻名于世。

　　Anne Sullivan arrived at Keller's house in March 1887, and immediately began to teach Helen to communicate by spelling words into her hand, beginning with "d-o-l-l" for the doll that she had brought Keller as a present. Keller was frustrated, at first, because she did not understand that every object had a word uniquely identifying it. In fact, when Sullivan was trying to teach Keller the word for "mug", Keller became so frustrated she broke the doll.

　　莎利文于1887年3月来到海伦家，很快就开始用在手心拼字的方法帮助海伦与外界沟通。她教给海伦的个词是“doll”，因为当时她送给海伦的件礼物是一个洋娃娃。起初，海伦感到很沮丧，因为她完全不能理解每一件事物都有自己对应的词语。事实上，当莎利文试图教她mug这个词时，海伦沮丧到了极点，甚至把那个洋娃娃给摔坏了。

　　Keller's big breakthrough in communication came the next month, when she realized that the motions her teacher was making on the palm of her hand, while running cool water over her other hand, symbolized the idea of "water".

　　一个月后，当莎利文让水滴在海伦的一只手上，同时在另一只手上拼出“water”这个词时。海伦终于顿悟了!

　　As lifelong companions Sullivan and Keller continually lived, worked, and traveled together. Helen Keller once said: "The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me."

　　作为海伦的朋友，莎利文终生陪伴在她身边，她们一起生活，一起工作，一起旅行。海伦曾说：“我生命中最重要的一天就是莎利文来到我身边的那一天。”
