I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
我常想，要是每个人都会在成年早期突然失明、失聪几天，也许是好事。漆黑会令人更珍视视力；静寂则能让人明白听到声音是多么美妙。

blessing n. 好事，幸事
stricken adj. 受...侵害的

Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I asked a friend, who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, what she had observed. “Nothing particular,” she replied.
我经常问视力正常的朋友看到些什么。最近，我问一位刚去过树林散步的朋友，在树林里看见什么？“没什么特别的。”她答。
Appreciation
Para. 2
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf.
怎么可能呢？我心想，在树林里走了一个小时，怎么可能没看到值得注意的东西？我虽然失明，但仅凭着触摸，也能发现数之不尽的有趣事物。我能感受树叶柔嫩而对称。

I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough, shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter’s sleep. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently on a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song.
又喜欢用手抚摸白桦光滑的树干，或松树粗糙的树皮。春天时，我顺着树枝摸过去，希望找到个新芽，那是严冬的沉睡后，大自然苏醒的第一个迹象。有时，如果我很幸运，我只需把手轻搭在一颗小树上，便能感受到一只高声歌唱的小鸟的愉快颤抖。

At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.
有时，由于渴望能看到这一切东西，我的内心在哭泣。如果说仅凭我的触觉我就能感受到这么多的愉快，那么凭视觉该有多少美丽的东西显露出来。因此，我常想象，假如我有三天时间视力正常，最盼望看见什么？

DAY
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and companionship have made my life worth living. I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”. I can only “see” through my fingertips the outline of a face. I can detect laughter, sorrow, and many other obvious emotions. I know my friends from the feel of their faces.
第一天，我想看到这些人，他们的善良，温柔和友情使我的生命变得有价值。我无法理解通过“心灵的窗口”—眼睛，看透一个朋友的内心是怎么一回事。我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔的轮廓。我能察觉欢笑、悲伤和其他许多明显的情感。我是通过触摸朋友们的脸来认识他们的。
Appreciation
Para. 5
companionship n. 陪伴，友谊
outline n.轮廓
sorrow n. 悲伤
For instance, can you describe accurately the faces of five different friends As an experiment, I have questioned husbands about the color of their wives’ eyes, and often they express embarrassed confusion and admit that they do not know.
举例来说，你们能精确地描述5个好朋友的面貌吗 有些人可以，但许多人做不到。我曾做过一个实验，我问那些与妻子相处多年的丈夫们，他们妻子的眼睛是什么颜色。他们常常显得窘迫含糊，承认他们不知道。
Appreciation
Para. 6
for instance 例如
accurately adv. 精确地
I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which have revealed to me the deepest channels of human life. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature. And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
我也会去找一些书读一读，这些书都是别人朗读给我的，从而让我明白了一些深邃的人生道理。下午我会到树林里去散步，让眼睛尽情享受大自然之美。我还会祈求上天赏赐一个五彩缤纷而壮丽的落日让我看看。当晚，我想我一定舍不得入睡。
Appreciation

intoxicate v. 沉醉
glory n.壮丽，辉煌

DAY
On my second day, I should like to see the pageant of man’s progress, and I should go to the museums. I should try to probe into the soul of man through his art. The things I knew through touch I should now see. The evening of my second day I should spend at a theater or at the movies.
第二天，我要去看看人类发展的历程。我会去历史博物馆，细品人类制作的艺术品，借此探索人类的心灵。我要亲眼看看我以前靠触摸而认识的各种事物，这天傍晚我会在剧场或电影院里度过。

At midnight permanent night would close on me again. Only when darkness had again descended upon me should I realise how much I had left unseen.

Appreciation
Para. 10
permanent adj. 永恒的
descend v. 降临(+on/upon)
I am sure that if you faced the fate of blindness you would use your eyes as never before. Everything you saw would become dear to you. Your eyes would touch and embrace every object that came within your range of vision. Then, at least, you would really see, and a new world of beauty would open itself before you.
然而，我确信，如果你真的面临那不幸的命运，你将以过去从未有过的方式去利用你的眼睛。你所看到的每件事会变得 对你珍贵起来，你的眼睛会触及并抓住在进入你视线范围之内的每件事物。然后，你最终真正地看见了，于是，一个美的新世界在你面前展开了。
Appreciation
Para. 11
fate n. 命运
embrace v. 拥抱，欣然接受
I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.
我，一个盲人，可以给那些能看见的人一个提示---对想充分利用视力天赋的人的一个忠告：用你的双眼，就好像你明天就会遭致失明一样。这同样的方法也能运用于其它的感觉上，去听悦耳的乐声，鸟儿的鸣唱，乐队的强劲旋律，就好像你明天就遭致失聪一样。

be applied to 运用于 mighty adj. 巨大的
strain n.力量 orchestra n.奏乐，演奏
Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Make the most of every sense; glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty, which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which Nature provides. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.
去触摸你想摸的每个物体，就像你明天会失去触觉意识一样。去细嗅花朵的芳香，细尝每一口食物，仿佛你明天就再也没有嗅觉和味觉。让每一种感官都充分发挥功能吧，大自然赋予人类各种感觉能力，人类才能体验这个世界的欢乐与美感。但是，在所有的感觉之中，我相信视觉可能是最愉快的。
Appreciation
Para. 12
tactile adj.触觉的 perfume n. 香味 relish n. 享受
morsel n.一口 facet n.方面，面 delightful adj. 愉快的
作为身处黑暗之人，我可以给得以享受光明之人一个忠告。尽观物之美如明日失明，亦可推而广之；尽听乐之声、鸟之歌、管弦之律如明日失聪；尽触万物之肤如明日便无触觉；轻嗅花之香，尽品食之味，如明日便无嗅觉和味觉。以心细品自然为我揭开的曼纱后那千变万化的无限辉煌。但于百感之中，唯有视觉为上。
