续写原题:
Not until recently have I known that a little pet can be such a helpful
assistant to a helpless mom.This is all due to what our new family member,a
little kitten named Thula,has done.She seems to understand exactly
what Iris needs at any given time.
直到最近,我才知道一只小宠物可以成为无助母亲的助手。这一切都要归
功于我们的新家庭成员,一只名叫图拉的小猫所做的一切。她似乎完全理
解ris在任何特定时间需要什么。
Within a year of my daughters birth in 2015,I already suspected that
something was wrong.Even by babies'standards,Iris was a frighteningly bad
sleeper.She also appeared unmistakably distant.Besides,after saying "dada"at
eight months,she stopped talking.Finally,aged two,she was diagnosed as
autistic.
2015年,我的女儿出生后不到一年,我就已经怀疑出了问题。即使以要儿
的标准来看,Is的睡眠也糟糕得吓人。毫无疑问,她也显得很疏远。此外,
在八个月大的时候说了“爸爸”之后,她就不再说话了。最后,两岁的她
被诊断为自闭症
In fact,after a long process of trial and error,I found activities that
obviously did help her,including music and riding on the back of her dad's
bike.Above all,Iris showed a remarkable talent for art:producing large
multi-layered Impressionist-style paintings that took her several days and that
once led to the Leicester Mercury headline,"Top artist aged 3."
事实上,经过漫长的试错过程,我发现了一些明显对她有帮助的活动,包
括音乐和骑她爸爸的自行车。最重要的是,Is表现出了非凡的艺术天赋:
她花了几天时间创作了大型多层印象派风格的画作,这一度成为莱斯特水
星报的头条新闻,“3岁的项级艺术家”
Iris did make progress,but by no means steadily,with promising
developments often followed by periods of regression().
Is确实取得了进展,但绝非稳定,有希望的发展往往伴随着一段时间的倒
退(退步)
One night,Iris refused to sleep.As her frustrations mounted,she started to
cry,and her sobs filled the quiet room.I felt so hopeless as I held her close.
Nothing seemed to comfort her apart from her favorite book and I longed
for some help,but she pushed away all who tried except me,making me on the
edge of breaking down.
一天晚上,Iis拒绝睡觉。当她的沮丧情绪越来越大时,她哭了起来,安静
的房间里充满了她的哭泣。我抱着她,感到绝望。除了她最喜欢的书之外,
似乎没有什么能安慰她,我渴望得到一些帮助,但她推开了除了我之外的
所有人,让我濒临崩溃。
Downstairs,my husband looked at Thula in surprise who had suddenly got
up off his lap.Her eyes focused towards the door and she had one foot raised
perfectly poised in th
