海倫凱勒
尋求海倫凱勒一句名言的原文
我在網路上看到海倫凱勒海的一句名言是:「如果我能選擇恢復視力或聽力
我希望我能聽得見;因為
看不見讓我與物隔絕
聽不見卻讓我與人隔絕。
」另外一個版本卻是:「盲
隔絕了人與物;聾
隔絕了人與人。
」能否請諸位先賢幫我解答哪一個版本比較接近原文呢?而原文又是何呢?如果有出處更好。
謝謝!
不勝感激!
Blindness cuts us off from things
but deafness cuts us off from people. 您問的這句話如上
出處--無法查證(原文參考附加網站
英文)據說無法查證海倫凱勒是否說過這句話
雖然她確曾提出過類似的意思兩次
但字眼全然不同。
詳述如下1The problems of deafness are deeper and more complex
if not more important
than those of blindness. Deafness is a much worse misfortune. For it means the loss of the most vital stimulus--the sound of the voice that brings language
