Three Days to See
I have often thought it would be a blessing① if each human being were stricken②blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life .[1]Darkness would make him more appreciative ③of sight; silence would teach him the joys of④sound.
[1]it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf.是省略引导词 that 的宾语从句,作thought的宾语,从句使用了与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。
Now and then⑤ 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 .[2]“Nothing in particular⑥,”she replied.
[2]...I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk...who 引导定语从句,修饰 a friend what she had observed.what 引导宾语从句,作asked的宾语
How was it possible,I asked myself,to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of ⑦note? [3]I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere⑧ touch.If I can get so much pleasure from touch,how much more beauty must be revealed⑨by 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. [4]
[3]本句的正常语序为“I asked myself,how was it possible to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note?”。it是形式主语,后面的不定式短语 to walk for an hour.是真正的主语。
[4]what I should most like to see if I were given...是what引导的宾语从句,作 imagined 的宾语;其中if I were given...是 if 引导的条件状语从句,使用了与现在事实相反的虚拟语气。
On the first day,I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness⑪ and companionship⑫ have made my life worth living. [5]I do not know what it
假如给我三天光明
我常常想如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间失明和失聪,那会是一件幸事,因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力,静默能教人享受声音的美妙。
我时常测试我那些看得见的朋友,想了解他们看到了什么。最近,我问一个在林子里散步了许久的朋友看到了什么。她答道:“没什么特别的。”
我自问,在林子里散步一小时之久,怎么可能没看到任何值得注意的东西呢?我一个看不见的人,仅仅通过触觉,都会发现许许多多令我感兴趣的东西。如果说仅凭触觉就能得到这么多的快乐,那么视觉能展现多少美好的东西啊。我想象过,如果我能被恩赐恢复视觉,哪怕只有三天,我最希望看到什么。
第一天,我想见见身边的人,他们用善良、温 柔和 陪 伴使我的生命变得有价值。我无法理解通过“心灵的窗户”——眼睛,看透一个朋友的内心是怎样的感觉。因为我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔
delight n.使人高兴的事
revelation n.展现,显示
workaday adj.平凡的;平淡的
amid prep.在……之中
haunt n.(某人)常去的地方
go about(以通常的方式)做某事
permanent adj.长久的;永久的
close in on 包围………;近……
descend v.降临;来临
hint n.提示
apply...to...把……应用于……
mighty adj.强有力的;雄伟的
strains of音乐的曲调或旋律

delightful adj.令人愉快的,讨人喜欢的
is to see into the heart of a friend through that “window of the soul”,the eye.I can only “see” through my fingertips⑬ the outline⑭ 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. [6]In the afternoon I should take a long walk⑮ in the woods and intoxicate⑯ my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature.That night,I should not be able to sleep.
[5]whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living是whose引导的定语从句,whose在从句中作定语。其中made my life worth living 是“make+宾语 + 宾补”结构。
[6]and 连接两个 which 引导的定语从句 which have been read to me和which have revealed to me,修饰 the books。
On my second day,I should like [7]to see the pageant⑰ of “man's progress,and I should go [7] to the museums.I should try [7] to probe⑱” into the soul of man through his art.The things I knew through touch I should now see .[7]The evening of my second day I should spend [7]at a theater or at the movies.
[7] 本段中用了五个I should...,这种句子叫排比句,表达出作者渴望光明和对生活的热爱。后两个I should...分别放在了句末和句中,从而强调了宾语 the things 和 the evening of my second day,同时也使句子结构富有变化,避免了单调。
The following morning,I should again greet the dawn⑲,anxious to⑳ discover new delights, new revelations of beauty.Today I shall spend in the workaday world,amid the haunts of men going about the business of life.
At midnight permanent night would close in on me again. Only when darkness had again descended upon me should I realize how much I had left unseen. [8]
[8] 本句是一个倒装句。“only+状语从句”位于句首时,主句用部分倒装。
I who am blind can give one hint to those who see:Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind .[9]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. [9] Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail .[9] Smell the perfume of flowers,taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. [9]But of all the senses,I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.
[9]本段中有四个 as if 引导的方式状语从句,从句均使用了与将来事实相反的虚拟语气。
的轮廓。我还要看书,那些别人读给我的书,那些为我揭示了人生和人类精神的深刻奥秘的书。到了下午,我要在树林中散步,让我的眼睛陶醉在大自然的美景中。这个夜晚,我将无法入睡。
第二天,我要了解人类发展的缤纷场景,我要去博物馆。我要通过艺术探究人类的灵魂。那些我之前通过触摸了解过的事物,我现在要亲眼看一看。而这一天的傍晚,我要在剧院或者电影院度过。
第三天清晨,我要再次迎接黎明,迫切地去探索更多愉悦,发现更多美好。这天我要过平凡的生活,到那些为在生活忙碌的人常去的地方。
到了午夜,永夜将再次把我笼罩。只有当黑暗再次降临时,我才意识到,我还有那么多没有看到。
我,一个盲人,可以给看得见的人一个忠告:要像明天即将失明一样去使用你的眼睛。而这种方法也可以用在其他感官上;要像明天即将失聪一样,去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符;要像明天即将失去触觉一样,去触摸你想感受的每一件物品;要像明天即将失去嗅觉和味觉一样,去细嗅花香、细品美食。但是,我敢肯定,在所有的感官中,视觉的享受一定是最令人愉悦的。
