Recently, I asked a seeing friend who had just walked in the woods what she had noticed. "Nothing special," she replied.
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me only through touch. If I can get so much fun from touch, how much more beauty must be found by sight(视力)? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people who have made my life worth living and the books which have been read to me. In the afternoon, I should take a walk in the woods and admire the beauties of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
On my second day, I should go to the museums to see man's progress. I should try to explore the spirit of man through his art. In the evening, I should spend at the movies.
The following day, I should spend in the world of common people going about the business of life. At midnight permanent(永久的) night would close in on me again, and I should realize how much I had left unseen.
I who am blind can give one suggestion to those who see: use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be blind. The same is true of other senses. Hear the songs of birds, as if you would be deaf tomorrow. Smell the flowers, as if tomorrow you could never smell again... But of all the senses, I'm sure that sight must be the most pleasant.

最近,我问一位刚在树林里散步的视力正常的朋友,她注意到了什么。“没什么特别的,”她回答道。
我问自己,怎么可能在树林里散步却什么值得注意的东西都没看到呢?我这个看不见的人,仅通过触摸就能发现数百件让我感兴趣的东西。如果我能从触摸中获得这么多乐趣,那么通过视力又能发现多少美呢?而且我曾想象过,如果我能拥有三天的视力,我最想看到什么。
第一天,我想要看看那些让我的生命变得有意义的人,还有那些别人读给我听的书。下午,我会去树林里散步,欣赏大自然的美景。那天晚上,我会睡不着觉。
在我的第二天,我会去博物馆看看人类的进步。我会试图通过人类的艺术来探索人类的精神。晚上,我会去看电影。
接下来的一天,我会在普通人的世界里度过,看看他们日常生活中的事务。午夜时分,永恒的黑暗会再次向我袭来,我会意识到还有多少东西我没有看到。
我这个盲人可以给那些视力正常的人一个建议:就像明天你就会失明一样使用你的眼睛。其他感官也是如此。聆听鸟儿的歌声,就像明天你就会失聪一样。闻闻花香,就像明天你再也无法闻到气味一样……但在所有的感官中,我确信视觉一定是最令人愉悦的。
