Three Days to See
I have often thought [1]it would be a blessing① if each human being were stricken blind and deaf② for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative③ of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
[1]此处为省略that的宾语从句,作thought的宾语。该从句中“if...adult life”是if引导的虚拟条件句,表示与现实相反的假设,if从句的谓语是were stricken,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.
