How to Use Your Eyes
I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him More appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
我常常想，如果每個人在剛成年時的某個時候能失明或失聰幾天，這或許是件大好事。黑暗將使他更深刻地感受景象，而寂靜將教會他領略聲音的歡樂。
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. "Nothing in particular," she replied. I might have been incredulous had I not been accustomed to such responses, for long ago I became convinced that the seeing see little.
我不時考問我的有視力的朋友，以瞭解他們所見的情況。最近有一個極好的朋友來看我，她是在林中溜達了好一會才回來的，我問她觀察到了些什麼。“沒有什麼特別的東西。”她回答説。要不是我對類似的反應已習以為常的話，我是會感到難以置信的。我之所以不覺為奇，是因為我早已得出結論：有視力者所見甚少。
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough shaggy bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, velvety texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable convolutions; and something of the miracle of Nature is revealed to me. 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. ! am delighted to have cool waters of a brook rush through my open fingers. To me a lush carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug. To me the pageant of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips.
我問自己，在林中溜達了一個小時而竟沒有看到什麼值得注意的東西，這怎麼可能呢?我這個看不見東西的人，僅憑觸摸就發現千百種使我感興趣的東西。我感覺到葉片的精緻的對稱。我用手愛撫着光滑的白樺樹皮，或是粗糙的松樹皮。春天裏，我滿懷希望地觸摸樹枝，冀求找着一顆幼芽—大自然經過冬日沉睡重又甦醒的最早的徵兆。我摸着花朵的可愛的天鵝絨般的質地，並發現它的花瓣一圈圈疊合得那麼巧妙，於是我領略到了某種大自然的神奇。偶爾，如果我十分幸運的話，我把手輕輕搭在一棵小樹上，能感到一隻小鳥兒盡情歌唱的歡愉的顫動。我非常高興讓清涼的溪水流過我的張開的手指。對我來説，那厚密的松針層或茂盛鬆軟的綠茵地比豪華的波斯地毯更愜意。對我來説，四季的奇瑰變幻猶如一出動人心絃的永不落幕的話劇，它的情節似水般徐徐從我指尖流過。
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 fill 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 and the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather that as a means of adding fullness to life.
我的心時時在呼號，渴望見到所有這一切。如果我單靠觸摸就能獲得如許樂趣，那麼通過視覺又將能領略到多少美景呀。可是，那些雙目完好的人顯然所見甚少。大幹世界中的五光十色的千姿百態被認為是理所當然的。對已獲得的不以為意，而對未獲得的卻引頸企盼，這一點或許是人類的特性，可是，非常遺憾，在光明的世界裏，天賦的視力只被當成一種單純的方便，而不是一種使生活臻於完美的手段。
If I were the president of a university I should establish a compulsory course in "How to Use Your Eyes". The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them. He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.
如果我是大學校長，我就要開設一門必修課：“如何使用你們的眼睛”。教授應盡力向學生説明，如何做到真正看見那些從他們面前不知不覺溜掉的東西，從而為自己的生活增添快樂。他將盡力喚醒他們那些昏睡懶散的感官。
經典的英語六級美文Interview God 採訪上帝
"Come in," God said to me, "so, you would like to interview Me?"
“進來”，上帝 對我説，“你想採訪我?”
"If you have the time," I said.
“是的，如果您有時間的話。” 我説。
He smiled through His beard and said: "My time is called eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"
上帝 微笑了，笑容通過他的鬍鬚綻開，説：“我時間的名字叫永恆，足足可以做任何事情。你心裏有什麼問題想問我?”
"None that are new to you. What's the one thing that surprises you most about mankind?"
“對您來説是沒有新鮮的提問的。人類讓您感到最驚奇的事情是什麼呢?”
He answered: "That they get bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they never had never lived..."
上帝 回答道：“人類在做孩子的時候感到無聊，盼望着長大，長大後又嚮往着返回童年;他們浪費自己的健康去贏得個人的財富，然後又浪費自己的財富去重建自身的健康;他們焦慮地憧憬未來，忘記了眼前的生活，活得既不是為了現在也不是為了將來;他們活得似乎永遠不會死，他們死得也好像從來沒活過…”
His hands took mine and we were silent. After a long period, I said, "May I ask you another question?"
上帝 握着我的手，我們一陣沉默。過了好長一段時間，我説：“我可以再問您一個問題嗎?”

關於英語六級美文Marriage Don's Need Scorecard
When I came home for the holidays my sophomore' year of college, I thought I knew everything. I was on this big female independence kick. One evening, my mom and I were wrapping presents, and I told her that when I got married, my husband was going to help clean, do laundry, cook, the whole bit. Then I asked her if she ever got tired of doing the laundry and dishes. She calmly told me it did not bother her. This was difficult for me to believe. I began to give her a lecture about this being the '90s,and equality between the sexes."
"Mom listened patiently. Then after setting the ribbon aside, she looked me square in the eyes. ' Someday, dear, you will understand.'"
"This only irritated me more. I didn't understand one bit. And so I demanded more of an explanation. Mom smiled, and began to explain:
"'In a marriage, there are some things you like to do and some things you don't. So, together, you figure out what little things you are willing to do for each other. You share the responsibilities. I really don't mind doing the laundry. Sure, it takes some time, but it is something I do for your dad. On the other hand, I do not like to pump gas. The smell of the fumes bothers me. And I don't like to stand out in the freezing cold. So, your dad always puts gas in my car. Your dad grocery shops, and I cook. Your dad mows the grass, and I clean. I could go on and on.'"
"'You see,' my mother continued, 'in marriage, there is no scorecard. You do little things for each other to make the other's life easier. If you think of it as helping the person you love, you don't become annoyed with doing the laundry or cooking, or any task, because you're doing it out of love.'"
"Over the years, I have often reflected on what my mom said. She has a great perspective on marriage. I like how my mom and dad take care of each other.
