　　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(lǐng)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，以了解他們所見的情況。最近有一個極好的朋友來看我，她是在林中溜達(dá)了好一會才回來的，我問她觀察到了些什么。“沒有什么特別的東西。”她回答說。要不是我對類似的反應(yīng)已習(xí)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(jié)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(dá)了一個小時而竟沒有看到什么值得注意的東西，這怎么可能呢?我這個看不見東西的人，僅憑觸摸就發(fā)現(xiàn)千百種使我感興趣的東西。我感覺到葉片的精致的對稱。我用手愛撫著光滑的白樺樹皮，或是粗糙的松樹皮。春天里，我滿懷希望地觸摸樹枝，冀求找著一顆幼芽—大自然經(jīng)過冬日沉睡重又蘇醒的最早的征兆。我摸著花朵的可愛的天鵝絨般的質(zhì)地，并發(fā)現(xiàn)它的花瓣一圈圈疊合得那么巧妙，于是我領(lǐng)略到了某種大自然的神奇。偶爾，如果我十分幸運(yùn)的話，我把手輕輕搭在一棵小樹上，能感到一只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。對我來說，那厚密的松針層或茂盛松軟的綠茵地比豪華的波斯地毯更愜意。對我來說，四季的奇瑰變幻猶如一出動人心弦的永不落幕的話劇，它的情節(jié)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，那么通過視覺又將能領(lǐng)略到多少美景呀。可是，那些雙目完好的人顯然所見甚少。大干世界中的五光十色的千姿百態(tài)被認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)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(diǎn)或許是人類的特性，可是，非常遺憾，在光明的世界里，天賦的視力只被當(dāng)成一種單純的方便，而不是一種使生活臻于完美的手段。

　　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(xué)校長，我就要開設(shè)一門必修課：“如何使用你們的眼睛”。教授應(yīng)盡力向?qū)W生說明，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。

　　“進(jìn)來”，上帝 對我說，“你想采訪我?”

　　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?"

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，盼望著長大，長大后又向往著返回童年;他們浪費(fèi)自己的健康去贏得個人的財富，然后又浪費(fèi)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(xiàn)在也不是為了將來;他們活得似乎永遠(yuǎn)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 握著我的手，我們一陣沉默。過了好長一段時間，我說：“我可以再問您一個問題嗎?”

　　He replied with a smile.

　　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.
