Three Days to See$^{[1]}$
I have often thought it would be a blessing$^{②}$ if each human being were stricken$^{③}$ blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life[1]. Darkness would make him more appreciative$^{④}$ of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
[1]此处have thought之后的宾语从句是复合句，使用了虚拟语气，表示与现在事实相反的假设，if从句谓语用过去式(be只能用were)，主句谓语使用“would/could/should/might+动词原形”。
Now and then I have tested my seeing friends$^{⑤}$ to discover what they see. Recently, I asked a friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods$^{⑥}$ what she had observed[2]. “Nothing in particular,” she replied.
[2]此处为who引导的定语从句修饰间接宾语a friend; what引导的宾语从句作直接宾语。
How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy$^{⑦}$ of note? I who cannot see find hundreds of things to interest me through mere$^{⑧}$ touch. If I can get so much pleasure from touch, how much more beauty must be revealed$^{⑨}$ by sight? And I have imagined what I should most like to see if I were given the use of my eyes, say for just three days.
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness$^{⑩}$ and companionship$^{⑪}$ have made my life worth living. I do not know what it is to see into the heart$^{⑫}$ of a friend through that “window of the soul$^{⑬}$”, the eye. I can only “see” through my fingertips the outline$^{⑭}$ of a face. I should like to see the books which have been read to me, and which have revealed to me the deepest channels$^{⑮}$ of human life and the human spirit$^{⑯}$ [3]. In the afternoon I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate$^{⑰}$ my eyes on the beauties of the world of nature. That night, I should not be able to sleep.
[3]此处为复合句，句子中两个which引导并列的定语从句修饰先行词the books。

The following morning, I should again greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, new revelations of beauty[4]. Today I shall spend in the workaday$^{⑳}$ world, amid$^{㉑}$ the haunts$^{㉒}$ of men going about the business of life$^{㉓}$.
[4]此处为形容词短语作状语。
At midnight permanent$^{㉔}$ night would close in on$^{㉕}$ me again. Only when darkness had again descended$^{㉖}$ upon me should I realize how much I had left unseen[5].
[5]此处“Only+状语从句”置于句首，主句为部分倒装，即把助动词或情态动词提前。
I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind[6]. And the same method can be applied to$^{㉗}$ the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra$^{㉘}$, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense$^{㉙}$ would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers$^{㉚}$, taste with relish$^{㉛}$ each morsel$^{㉜}$, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful$^{㉝}$.
[6]此处使用了虚拟语气。当as if从句内容表示对将来的一种假设时，从句谓语用“would/could/might+动词原形”。

假如给我三天光明
我常常想，如果每个人在青年时期都有一段时间失明和失聪，那会是一件幸事，因为黑暗会使人更加珍惜视力，静默能教人享受声音的美妙。
我时常测试我那些看得见的朋友，想了解他们看到了什么。最近，我问一个在林子里散步了许久的朋友看到了什么。她答道：“没什么特别的。”
我自问，在林子里散步一小时之久，怎么可能没看到任何值得注意的东西呢？我一个看不见的人，仅仅通过触觉，都会发现许许多多令我感兴趣的东西。如果说仅凭触觉就能得到这么多的快乐，那么视觉能展现多少美好的东西啊。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。
第一天，我想见见那些用善良、温柔和陪伴使我的生命变得有价值的人。我无法理解通过“心灵的窗户”——眼睛，看透一个朋友的内心是怎样的感觉。因为我只能通过我的指尖“看”到一张面孔的轮廓。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，让我的眼睛陶醉在大自然的美景中。这个夜晚，我将无法入睡。
第二天，我要去看人类发展的缤纷场景，我要去博物馆。我要通过艺术探究人类的灵魂。那些我之前通过触摸了解过的事物，我现在要亲眼看一看。而这一天的傍晚，我要在剧院或者电影院度过。
第三天清晨，我要再次迎接黎明，迫切地去探索更多愉悦，发现更多美好。这天我要过平凡的生活，到那些为生活忙碌的人常去的地方。
到了午夜，永久的黑夜将再次把我笼罩。只有当黑暗再次降临时，我才意识到，我还有那么多没有看到。
我，一个盲人，可以给看得见的人一个忠告：要像明天即将失明一样去使用你的眼睛。而这种方法也可以用在其他感官上：要像明天即将失聪一样，去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符；要像明天即将失去触觉一样，去触摸你想感受的每一件物品；要像明天即将失去嗅觉和味觉一样，去细嗅花香、细品美食。但是，我敢肯定，在所有的感官中，视觉的享受一定是最令人愉悦的。
