第22單元 克服失讀癥
My whole life I have had to deal with dyslexia.Dyslexia is when you look at letters and numbers, and they get all mixed up. You may read a word thinking it says one thing but, in fact, it says something different all together. Obviously, this made reading and writing very difficult.
我一生都在克服失讀癥，失讀癥的癥狀是當(dāng)你讀文字或數(shù)字時(shí)，它們?nèi)炕煸谝黄?，你可能?huì)以為你讀的這個(gè)字是這個(gè)意思，但放到句子里卻是不同的意思，這使得讀寫變得非常困難。
Before someone recognized my problem, I suffered greatly in school. Kids would tease me when I read out loud, and teachers would tell me I wasn’t trying hard enough. I became shy and didn’t want to read out loud or even quietly, I hated reading.
在別人發(fā)現(xiàn)我有這個(gè)問題之前，我在學(xué)校過了一段苦日子，當(dāng)我大聲朗誦時(shí)，其他孩子會(huì)嘲笑我，而老師也嫌我不夠努力，我變得很內(nèi)向，不想大聲朗讀，甚至小聲也不敢，我討厭閱讀。
In grade four, I had a wonderful teacher who realized I had a problem. Right away, I was put into special classes. Over time, I learned to like reading. In fact, I came to love it.
四年級(jí)時(shí)，我遇到了一個(gè)很好的老師，他知道我有這方面的問題，馬上把我調(diào)到特殊班級(jí)，在這段期間，我學(xué)習(xí)喜歡閱讀，事實(shí)上我漸漸愛上閱讀!
Now, at the age of thirty, I am a published author and a public speaker. So, it goes to show that if you put your mind to something, you can overcome anything!
現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)三十歲，我是個(gè)作家并且公開演說，因此這證明如果你決心下工夫，你一定能克服任何困難。
