Three Days to See

I have often thought [1]it would be a blessing① if each human being were stricken② blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of③ sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.

[1]此处为省略了that的宾语从句，作thought的宾语。该从句中“if...adult life”是if引导的条件状语从句，表示与现在事实相反的假设，if从句的谓语是were，对应的主句的谓语是would be。blind and deaf作补语，补充说明患病的状态。

Now and then④ 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 in particular⑤，” she replied.

[2]How was it possible，I asked myself，to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note⑥？ I who cannot see

 find hundreds of things to interest me through mere⑦ touch.If I can get so much pleasure from touch，how much more beauty must be revealed⑧ by sight.And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes，say⑨ for just three days.

假如给我三天光明

我常常想，如果每个人在青年时期都失明、失聪几天，这或许是一件幸事。黑暗会让他更加珍惜光明；寂静会教他领略声音的乐趣。

我时不时地测试我那些看得见的朋友，想了解他们看到了什么。最近，我问一个在树林里散步了许久刚回来的朋友看到了什么。“没什么特别的，”她回答道。

我问自己，在树林里漫步一个小时，竟没有看到什么值得注意的东西，这怎么可能呢？我一个看不见的人，仅凭触摸就能发现许多令我感兴趣的东西。如果我从触摸中就能获得如此多的乐趣，那么视觉能展现多少美好

⑰dawn[dɔːn]n.[C，U]黎明，破晓

[2]此处是特殊疑问句。it是形式主语，“to walk...of note”是动词不定式短语作真正的主语。“I asked myself”作插入语。

On the first day，I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness⑩ and companionship⑪ have made my life worth living.I do not know [3]what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”， the eye.I can only “see” through my fingertips⑫ the outline⑬ of a face.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 and the human spirit.In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on⑭ the beauties of the world of nature.That night，I should not be able to sleep.

[3]此处是由what引导的宾语从句，在该从句中，what作表语，it是形式主语，“to see into...eye”是动词不定式短语作真正的主语。the eye是that “window of the soul”的同位语。

On my second day，I should like to see the pageant of⑮ man's progress，and I should go to the museums.I should try to probe into⑯ the soul of man through his art.[4]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. 

[4]此处分别把see的宾语“The

的东西啊。并且我想象过，如果我有视力，哪怕只有三天，我最想看到的是什么。

第一天，我要看看那些待我仁慈、温和、友好，从而使我的生活变得有价值的人。我不知道透过“心灵之窗”，即眼睛，来探视一个朋友的内心是怎么回事。我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔的轮廓。我想看看别人为我读过的、为我揭示了人生及人类精神的深刻奥秘的那些书。下午我将去树林里漫步，让我的眼睛陶醉在大自然的美景之中。那天晚上，我将无法入睡。

第二天，我想看看人类进步的盛况，我将会去博物馆。我将通过艺术来探究人的灵魂。那些我之前通过触摸所知道的东西，我现在要亲眼看一

things I knew through touch”和spend的宾语“The evening of my second day”提到句首，以示强调。其中I knew through touch为省略了关系词的定语从句，修饰The things。

The following morning，I should again greet the dawn⑰，[5]anxious to discover new delights，new revelations of beauty.Today I shall spend in the workaday⑱ world，amid⑲ the haunts⑳ of men going about the business of life.

[5]此处为形容词短语作伴随状语，表示主语的状态。

At midnight permanent night would close in on me again.[6]Only when darkness had again descended upon me should I realize how much I had left unseen.

[6]该句使用了部分倒装结构。“Only when...me”是“Only＋时间状语从句”置于句首，此时主句要用部分倒装语序。

I who am blind can give one hint to those who see：Use your eyes [7]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 mightystrains of an orchestra，as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow.Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail .Smell the perfume of flowers，taste with relish each

看。第二天晚上，我将会在剧院或电影院里度过。

第三天清晨，我将再次迎接黎明，渴望着发现新的喜悦，新的美好。这天我将在平凡世界中度过，到那些为生活奔波的人们常去的地方。

到了午夜，永久的黑夜将再次把我笼罩。只有当黑暗再次降临，我才意识到我还有多少东西没有见到。

我，一个盲人，可以给看得见的人一点提示：善待你的双眼，好像明天你会失明一样。其他感官也同样适用该方法。去听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的鸣唱、管弦乐队铿锵的旋律，就像你明天就要失聪一样。触摸你想触摸的每一个物体，就像你明天就要失去触觉一样。闻闻花香，津津有味地品尝每
