ThreeDaystoSee假如给我三天光明1Ihaveoftenthoughtitwouldbeablessingifeachhumanbeingwerestrickenblindanddeafforafewdaysatsometimeduringhisearlyadultlife.Darknesswouldmakehimmoreappreciativeofsight;silencewouldteachhimthejoysofsound.我常常思忖,如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间看不见、听不见,那会是一件幸运的事情,因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力,静默能教会人享受声音的美妙。2NowandthenIhavetestedmyseeingfriendstodiscoverwhattheysee.Recently,Iaskedafriendwhohadjustreturnedfromalongwalkinthewoodswhatshehadobserved.“Nothinginparticular,”shereplied.我时常询问我那些看得见的朋友们,想了解他们看到了什么。最近,我问一个从林子里散步了许久回来的朋友观察到了什么,她答道:“没什么特别的。”3Howwasitpossible,Iaskedmyself,towalkforanhourthroughthewoodsandseenothingworthyofnote?Iwhocannotseefindhundredsofthingstointerestmethroughmeretouch.IfIcangetsomuchpleasurefromtouch,howmuchmorebeautymustberevealedbysight?AndIhaveimaginedwhatIshouldmostliketoseeifIweregiventheuseofmyeyes,sayforjustthreedays.我问自己,在林子里散步一小时之久却没有看到任何值得注意的东西,这怎么可能呢?我一个看不见的人,仅仅通过触觉,就能发现成百上千件引起我兴趣的东西。如果仅仅通过触觉就能得到如此多的快乐,那么视觉能展现多少美好的事物啊。我想象过,如果我能被恩赐恢复视觉,哪怕只有三天,我最希望看到什么。4Onthefirstday,Ishouldwanttoseethepeoplewhosekindnessandgentlenessandcompanionshiphavemademylifeworthliving.Idonnotknowwhatitistoseeintotheheartofafriendthroughthat“windowofthesoul”,theeye.Icanonly“see”throughmyfingertipstheoutlineofaface.Ishouldliketoseethebookswhichhavebeenreadtome,andwhichIhaverevealedtomethedeepestchannelsofhumanlifeandthehumanspirit.IntheafternoonIshouldtakealongwalkinthewoodsandintoxicatemyeyesonthebeautiesoftheworldofnature.Thatnight,Ishouldnotbeabletosleep.第一天,我想见几个人,他们用善良、温柔和陪伴让我觉得我有活下去的意义。我不知道通过“心灵的窗户”——眼睛来了解一个朋友是怎样一种体验。因为我只能通过我的指尖“看见”朋友的面部轮廓。我还要看书,那些别人读给我的书,那些为我揭示了人生和人类精神的深刻奥秘的书。到了下午,我要在树林中散步,让我的目光陶醉在大自然世界的美景中。这个夜晚,我夜不能寐。5Onmysecondday,Ishouldliketoseethepageantofman’sprogress,andIshouldgotothemuseums.Ishouldtrytoprobeintothesoulofmanthroughhisart.ThethingsIknewthroughtouchIshouldnowsee.TheeveningofmyseconddayIshouldspendatatheateroratthemovies.第二天,我想看人类发展的奇观,我要去博物馆。我要通过人类的艺术探究人类的灵魂。那些之前通过触摸知晓的事物,我现在要亲眼看一看。而这一天的傍晚,我要在剧院或电影院度过。6Thefollowingmorning,Ishouldagaingreetthedawn,anxioustodiscovernewdelights,newrevelationsofbeauty.TodayIshallspendintheworkadayworld,amidthehauntsofmengoingaboutthebusinessoflife.第三天清晨,我将再次迎接黎明,热切地去探索更多愉悦,发现更多美好。这天我将在平凡的世界里度过,在为生活奔波的人们常去的地方度过。7Atmidnightpermanentnightwouldcloseinonmeagain.OnlywhendarknesshadagaindescendeduponmeshouldIrealizehowmuchIhadleftunseen.午夜,永恒的黑暗将再次把我笼罩。唯有在黑暗再次来袭时,我才意识到我还有那么多事情没有看到。8Iwhoamblindcangiveonehinttothosewhosee:Useyoureyesasiftomorrowyouwouldbestrickenblind.Andthesamemethodcanbeappliedtotheothersenses.Hearthemusicofvoices,thesongofabird,themightystrainsofanorchestra,asifyouwouldbestrickendeaftomorrow.Toucheachobjectyouwanttotouchasiftomorrowyourtactilesensewouldfail.Smelltheperfumeofflowers,tastewithrelisheachmorsel,asiftomorrowyoucouldneversmellandtasteagain.Butofallthesenses,Iamsurethatsightmustbethemostdelightful.我,一个盲人,可以给那些看得见的人一个忠告:要像明天就要惨遭失明之痛一样去使用你的眼睛。同样的方法也能用于其他感官:要像明天就要惨遭失聪之痛一样,去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符;要像明天就会触觉衰退一样,去触摸你想摸的每件物品;要像明天就会丧失嗅觉和味觉一样,去闻鲜花的芬香,品尝美味佳肴。但是,在所有的感觉中,我相信,视觉一定是最令人愉快的。(Excerptsfrom“ThreeDaystoSee”byHelenKeller)(节选自海伦·凯勒的《假如给我三天光明》)
