Reference text
Today in class, we played a game called “the blind traveller”, in which one has to walk through some barriers with their eyes blindfolded. It is through this experience that I started to realise how inconvenient life could be for a blind person.
Not being able to see where I was going, I kept going off the path and turning in the wrong direction. What’s
more, without the ability to accurately locate the position of the barriers, I often fell over them, even though I was moving at an extremely slow speed. And a loss of balance increased the difficulty of this short journey. After falling over more than ten times, I finally reached my destination on hands and knees.
Reference text
Without sight, I couldn’t even complete this short journey of no more than 15 metres smoothly, let alone overcome all the other various difficulties in daily life. I do realise that life must be much more challenging for the blind people.

宾从
在英语中，“only＋状语(从句)”位于句首时，
句子(主句)要用部分倒装结构，即把(主)句中的助动词、情态动词或be动词提到(主句)主语前面。
only强调状语。
副词(now, then, here ...)
only+ 介词短语
状语从句(when, if, after ...)
+助动词/be动词/情态动词
+主语+其他
注意：
如果only修饰的是状语从句，要记住主句倒装，从句不倒装。
only修饰主语时，不用倒装结构。 Only he can answer the question.
Examples
Only in this way can you learn English well. 只有用这种方法你才能学好英语。
Only then did I realize the mistakes I had made.到那时我才意识到我所犯的错误。
Only after I had read the poem a second time did I make sense of it. 我又读了一遍这首诗之后才弄懂了它。
I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses.

apply oneself to (doing) sth. 致力于；在...上努力
applicant n.申请人
applicant n.申请书
I who am blind can give one hint to those who see: Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. And the same method can be applied to the other senses. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra, as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object you want to touch as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel, as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. But of all the senses, I am sure that sight must be the most delightful.
四个 “as if”引导的方式状从，均使用了与将来事实相反的虚拟语气
as if 引导的虚拟语气
对现在事实的虚拟：从句用一般过去时
(be动词常用were)
对过去事实的虚拟：从句用过去完成时
对将来的虚拟：从句谓语would/could/might + do
我，一个盲人，可以给那些看得见的人一个忠告：要像明天就要惨遭失明之痛一样去使用你的眼睛。同样的方法也能用于其他感官：要像明天就要惨遭失聪之痛一样，去仔细聆听音乐的旋律、鸟儿的歌唱、交响乐的震撼音符；要像明天就会触觉衰退一样，去触摸你想摸的每件物品；要像明天就会丧失嗅觉和味觉一样，去闻鲜花的芬香，品尝美味佳肴。但是，在所有的感觉中，我相信，视觉一定是最令人愉快的。
