Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happy quiver of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me a thick carpet of pine needles or soft grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the colorful seasons are a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.
偶爾，如果幸運的話，當我把手輕輕地放在一棵小樹上，會感到放聲歌唱的小鳥歡快的顫動。張開手指，讓清涼的溪水從指間沖過，我會很開心。對我來說，厚厚的松針或松軟的草坪比奢華的波斯地毯更惹人喜愛。對我來說，多彩的季節(jié)如同一場動人心魄的不會完結(jié)的戲劇，劇中情節(jié)從我的指尖流過。
At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The panorama of color and action which fills the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.
我的心不時地在吶喊，渴望能親眼看到這一切。僅僅通過觸摸，我就能獲得如此多的喜悅，那光明又將展示多少美啊。然而，有眼睛的人看到的卻分明不多。整個世界色彩繽紛、生機勃勃，人們卻都漫不經(jīng)心。也許，已經(jīng)擁有的不加珍惜，還沒得到的卻想擁有，這是人之常情，但是在光明的世界里只把視物的天賦作為使生活方便的工具，而不是豐富生活的工具，這實在是太令人遺憾了。
Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for three days!
啊，假如擁有三天光明，我將能看見多少事物啊！
