I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white
stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t
bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a
terrible danger on the roads, Coming across me wandering through the traffic,
motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that,
there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from
work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change
buses, and as usual I ran into something,“I’m awfully sorry,”I said and stepped
forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I
had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that
constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a
request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or
off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had
arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by
asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big
lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually
managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this
particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had
suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass,
or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making
a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour
without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
我是个盲人,我自知并为此惭愧。我很抗拒用白手杖并且不喜欢求人帮忙。毕竟,我只是个十几岁的女孩,我不能承受人们看我的方式,心想我怎么会和他们不一样。我曾经在路上遇到过可怕的危险,我徘徊在车水马龙间,开车的人或许会迅速踩上刹车。除此之外,所有类型的灾难都曾经以这种方式和在工作上发生。
一天晚上,我在还有一半路程才到家,需要转车的地方下了车,和往常一样,我冲进那些东西里,‘我很抱歉’我说到。我向前踏了一步只是为了再冲进去一次,当我尝试了第三次的时候,我意识到我刚才在跟一根灯柱道歉。这是经常发生在我身上的蠢事之一。所以我就又继续向前去找巴士站。找个招手就停的巴士站。找个巴士除非乘客上下车否则不会停的巴士站。没有其他人在那儿,我不得不去猜巴士是否来了。
一般在这种情况下,因为我很讨厌去跟别人说我是瞎子然后求人帮忙。我试着听声猜测周围的环境,有时候就在大卡车站会儿,当它开走后觉得自己蠢极了,到最后,我通常就会设法控制并自我消化掉那自尊心,然后就去车站请求帮忙。
但在这个特别的夜晚没有人在车站陪我。似乎每个人都突然决定不再坐公共汽车旅行了,当然我听到很多巴士通过,或者我认为是的,但是因为我必须放弃拦截它们因为害怕和不再让自己出洋相,我就让它们全走了,我独自站在那里半个小时也没有拦截一部车,然后我就放弃了,我决定去下一个巴士站。
我非常伤心,翻译了这么久居然有人比我快而且被采纳了。
这位仁兄,感谢你的关注,不过我打算采纳二楼那位的,谢谢
