Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eye of the observer. To date, it has not been narcissistic(自我陶醉的).
There are those who think that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot hear. Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs, pronouncing each word very carefully. Conversely, people will also often whisper, thinking that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either.
For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for assistance to the plane, he or she will invariably(总是) pick up the phone, call a ground hostess and whisper: “I, Jane, we’ve got a blind passenger here.”
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Often, therefore, when my wife and I go out to dinner, a waiter or waitress will ask my wife if “he would like a drink” to which I respond that “indeed he would”.
The toughest misconception(误解) of all is the view that because I can’t see, I can’t work. I was turned down by over forty law firms because of my blindness, even though my qualifications(资格) included a cum laude(以优等成绩毕业者) degree from Harvard College and a good ranking in my Harvard Law school class.
Fortunately, the attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.
