he demanded,trying, as it seemed, to SEE with those sightless eyes -- unavailing and distressing attempt!
他問，似乎要用那雙失明的眼睛來看——無效而痛苦的嘗試！

"And where is the speaker? Is it only a voice?
“這位說話人在哪兒？難道只是個(gè)聲音？

Whatever -- whoever you are -- be perceptible to the touch or I cannot live!"
不管是什么——不管你是誰——要讓我摸得著，不然我活不下去了！”
