馬路上丹尼爾對盲道感到新奇，經(jīng)過媽媽對盲人專用設(shè)備的解說，他明白了很多，也試著觸摸盲文，可是他卻什么也沒感覺到。

Daniel: Mom, the road is so strange! It is different from the common roads.

Mom: Oh, it was done for the blinds. They can feel and find their way to any place they want.

Daniel: Is that really so? Oh, great. It's unnecessary for the blind to get that extremely expensive eyes-seeing dog.

Mom: Yeah, the eyes-seeing dog is expensive but it can look after the master without any problem.

Daniel: Oh, Mom, it's just a dog like Barbie. But how does a blind person without an eyes-seeing dog live a normal life?

Mom: They have little trouble in the public places now. Thanks to the good social services. You know, we have a lot of public facilities especially for the blind, such as the assistant facilities in elevator, or on the subway.

Daniel: Oh, yeah, I also hear the reminder when crossing the street. Is that for the blind, too?

Mom: Of course. If there isn't a broadcast that reminds the blind to be careful at intersections, they are unable to cross safely.

Daniel: I recall that you told me there is some Braille on the paper money. Where is it?

Mom: Mr. Forgetful, I told you it's right here. Just have a try. Can you feel it?

Daniel: Oh, it's impossible for me. I feel nothing. Oh, how can they feel it by touch?

Mom: They have incredibly sensitive fingers' feelings.

Daniel: Sounds quite reasonable.

Mom: We, able-bodied people, should do something for the disabled.

Daniel: Oh, I want to be an inventor to work out more useful things.

Mom: A good idea.

聽看學(xué)
丹尼爾：媽媽，這路真奇怪，和普通的路不同。

媽媽：哦，這是為盲人設(shè)計的。他們能感覺并找到通向他們想去的地方的路。

丹尼爾：真的嗎？噢，太棒了。那盲人就不用買那種特別貴的導(dǎo)盲犬了。

媽媽：是啊，可導(dǎo)盲犬雖然昂貴但照顧主人卻完全沒有問題。

丹尼爾：噢，媽媽，那是像芭比一樣的狗吧。但是沒有導(dǎo)盲犬的盲人怎么正常地生活呢？

媽媽：他們現(xiàn)在在公共場合沒有什么困難，這多虧了完善的社會服務(wù)體系。你看，有很多專為盲人設(shè)置的公共設(shè)施，像電梯或地鐵里的輔助設(shè)施。

丹尼爾：是啊，剛剛過馬路的時候我還聽到了提示。那也是為盲人準(zhǔn)備的吧？

媽媽：當(dāng)然，如果在十字路口沒有廣播提示盲人小心，他們就不能安全地過馬路了。

丹尼爾：我想起來了你告訴我紙幣上有盲文，在哪里呢？

媽媽：忘事先生，我告訴過你就在這里。來試一試，能感覺到嗎？

丹尼爾：噢，對我來說不可能啊，我什么都沒感覺到。他們怎么能通過觸摸感覺得到呢？

媽媽：他們的手指有非常敏銳的的觸覺。

丹尼爾：聽起來很有道理。

媽媽：我們這些身體健全的人應(yīng)該為殘疾人做點什么。

丹尼爾：噢，我想當(dāng)個發(fā)明家，發(fā)明出更多有用的東西。

媽媽：好主意。

This can often include widening door frames, installing bars in showers and bathrooms, even suggesting a different style of bed to accommodate the new way of life.
