Abstract:A fascinating story frequently related in surveys of early Deaf American history concerns a deaf Puritan boy, Isaac Kilburn, who was taught to speak and lipread by a neighbor but who concealed his oral abilities out of fear that his teacher would be tried as a witch. This story turns out to have been invented by A. G. Bell. The true story of Isaac, his family, and his so-called teacher, who was actually mentally ill, is much more interesting and tells a much sadder story of deaf life in colonial Massachusetts.

孤独的聋哑清教徒的故事,从伪聋历史中恢复

摘要:在美国早期聋人历史调查中经常提到的一个引人入胜的故事是关于一个聋哑清教徒男孩艾萨克·基尔本 (Isaac Kilburn),他被邻居教说话和唇读,但由于担心他的老师会被当作一个巫婆。这个故事原来是 AG Bell 发明的。艾萨克、他的家人和他所谓的老师(实际上是精神病)的真实故事要有趣得多,并且讲述了马萨诸塞州殖民地聋人生活的悲惨故事。
