At age 44, Terry Evanshen would be starting all over again. Terry had to retrain himself how to think, how to speak, even relearning something as basic as how to shave.

到了44岁的时候，特里•伊文森的人生突然被迫重头再来。 特里必须重新学习如何思考，如何说话，甚至学习像刮胡子这么简单的事情。

But as unsettling as his behavior was for his family, what made it worse was that Terry’s brain could not understand the most basic human emotions. He recalls what it was like to live without a sense of what love is: not knowing what the word meant, I wouldn’t know how to look at other people. I wouldn’t know how to show proper affection to you. What is that affection anyway? What is right, what should I do?

特里的状况让家人痛心不已。更糟的是，特里的大脑已经完全无法理解最简单的人类情感。 后来，特里回忆起在不明白爱的那段日子里的生活情形：“不知道‘爱’这个字意味着什么，我便不懂得该用什么目光看别人；我不知道怎么向他人恰当地表达感情；感情的涵义到底是什么呢？怎样做才是对的？我该怎么做？”

But as much as Terry had a problem, he also had the support of his family, marked by small victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters like when they taught him how to play football again.

特里遇到了困难，但他的家人一直不离不弃，他们在帮他一点一点地克服障碍，他和三个女儿之间也建立起了一种更加亲密的关系。她们还教他打橄榄球。
