英语每日背诵：Three Days to See（3）
Three Days to See(3)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.
我常想如果每一个人在他成年的早些时候，有几天成为了聋子或瞎子也不失为一件幸事。
Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him
the joys of sound.
黑暗将使他更珍惜光明;沉寂将教他知道声音的乐趣。
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see.
有时我会试探我的非盲的朋友们，想知道他们看见了什么。
Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a
long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in
particular,” she replied.
最近我的一位非常要好的朋友来看我，她刚刚在树林里走了很长时间，我问她看见了什么。“没什么特别的，”她回答说。
I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses,
for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.
如不是我早已习惯了这样的回答，我也许不会轻易相信，因为很久以前我就相信了有眼人看不见什么。
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.
我问自己在树林中走了一小时，怎么可能什么值得注意的东西都没有看到呢?
