My childhood and adolescence were a joyous outpouring of energy, a ceaseless quest for expression, skill, and experience. School was only a background to the supreme delight of lessons in music, dance, and dramatics, and the thrill of sojourns in the country, theaters, concerts.
我在童年和少年时代激情四溢,无时无刻不追求展现自我、磨砺才艺和体味生活。学校里的音乐、舞蹈和戏剧课让我欢欣不已,而剧院和音乐会更让我身心为之震颤,乡间流连的时光也同样美妙。
And books, big Braille books that came with me on streetcars, to the table, and to bed. Then one night at a high school dance, a remark, not intended for my ears, stabbed my youthful bliss: That girl, what a pity she is blind. Blind! That ugly word that implied everything dark, blank, rigid, and helpless. Quickly I turned and called out, Please dont feel sorry for me, Im having lots of fun. But the fun was not to last.
还有我的书,那些厚重的盲文书籍无论在我乘车、用餐还是睡觉时都与我形影不离。然而,一天晚上,在高中的一次舞会上,一句我无意中听到的话霎那间将我年少的幸福击碎那女孩是个瞎子,真可惜!瞎子这个刺耳的字眼隐含着一个阴暗、漆黑、僵硬和无助的世界。我立刻转过身,大声喊道:请不要为我叹惜,我很快乐!但我的快乐自此不复存在。
