We tend to take what we have for granted, and seldom do we think about the value of life. Yet, Helen Keller, being both blind and deaf, taught us how to make the fullest use of our wonderful senses to appreciate life from a wholly different view -- with love and passion.
我們越來越不珍惜我們所擁有的，而且我們很少思考生命的價值。雙目失明的海倫·凱勒教給我們如何充分利用我們美妙的感官從一個全新的角度——用愛和熱情——來欣賞生活。
Three Days to See
假如擁有三天光明
Helen Keller
海倫·凱勒
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly confined.
1我們都讀過一些扣人心弦的故事，主人公將不久于人世，長則1年，短則24小時。而我們總是很感興趣，這個即將辭世的人會如何度過他最后的時日。當然，我指的是擁有選擇權利的自由人，不是那些活動范圍受到嚴格限制的死囚。
Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What events, what experiences, what associations, should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?
這一類故事會促使我們思考，在類似的處境下，我們自己會做些什么？身為生命有限的人類，我們會把什么樣的事件、經歷、聯想，塞進這最后的時光里？回首往事，我們又會有哪些快樂和遺憾呢？
