The Blind Guide | 盲人向导

English Original

It was a very foggy day in London. The fog was so thick that visibility was reduced to barely a foot.

Buses, cars, and taxis were forced to a halt, standing idle by the roadside.

People attempting to navigate on foot were hopelessly lost in the dense fog.

Mr. Smith had a crucial meeting at the House of Commons but found himself stranded, with no means of transport available.

He tried walking but soon became completely disoriented. Suddenly, he bumped into a stranger, who offered his help.

Mr. Smith explained his destination was the Houses of Parliament. The stranger agreed to guide him there.

Thanking the man, they set off. The fog grew thicker by the minute, yet the stranger navigated effortlessly.

He led them through streets, around corners, across a square, and after about half an hour, they arrived at the Houses of Parliament.

Astonished, Mr. Smith exclaimed, "It's wonderful! How do you find your way in this fog?"

"It's no trouble at all," replied the stranger. "I am blind."


中文翻译

伦敦的一个大雾天。雾浓得几乎伸手不见五指。

公交车、汽车和出租车都无法行驶,只能停靠在路边。

试图步行的人们在浓雾中彻底迷失了方向。

史密斯先生在下议院有一个重要会议,但他发现自己被困住了,没有任何交通工具可用。

他尝试步行,但很快就完全迷失了方向。突然,他撞上了一位陌生人,对方主动提出帮忙。

史密斯先生说明他要去国会大厦。陌生人答应带他去。

道谢后,他们出发了。雾越来越浓,但这位陌生人却毫不费力地引路。

他带着史密斯先生穿过街道,转过拐角,越过一个广场,大约半小时后,他们抵达了国会大厦。

史密斯先生十分惊讶,赞叹道:“太神奇了!你是怎么在这样的大雾中找到路的?”

“这对我来说一点也不麻烦,”陌生人回答道,“我是个盲人。”
