"Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you?Do you think I am an automaton?--a machine without feelings?and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips,and my drop of living water dashed from my cup?Do you think,because I am poor,obscure,plain,and little,I am soulless and heartless?You think wrong!--I have as much soul as you,--and full as much heart!And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth,I should have made it as hard for you to leave me,as it is now for me to leave you.I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom,conventionalities,nor even of mortal flesh;--it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave,and we stood at God's feet,equal,--as we are!"
“你以为我会留下来,成为对你无足轻重的人吗?你以为我是一架自动机器,一架没有感情的机器吗?能忍受着我的精神来源被别人从我的身上取走吗?虽然我贫穷、低微、不美丽,但当我们的灵魂穿过魂墓站在上帝面前时我们是平等的.我站在这里,并不是用习俗、惯例,甚至不是用凡人的肉体——而是用我的灵魂告诉你,我们是平等的!”
In the afternoon of that first seeing day.I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast splendor which is constantly unfolding itself to those who can see.On the way home from my woodland jaunt my path would lie near a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field 9perhaps I should see only a tractor!) and the serene content of men living close to the soil.And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.
那能看见的第一天的下午,我要在树林里长久地散步,让我的目光陶醉在大自然世界的美景之中.在几个小时中,试图拼命地吸收那无穷的壮丽,这对那些能看见的人却是一条小路,这样我便能看到那驯良的马匹在犁田（或许,我该看见唯一的一台拖拉机!）看到贴近泥土生活的人们那安详的满足.而且,我该为艳丽的落日光辉而祈祷.
