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.

在英語中，“only＋狀語(從句)”位于句首時，
句子(主句)要用部分倒裝結構，即把(主)句中的助動詞、情態動詞或be動詞提到(主句)主語前面。
only強調狀語。
副詞(now, then, here ...)
only+ 介詞短語
狀語從句(when, if, after ...)
+助動詞/be動詞/情態動詞
+主語+其他
注意：
如果only修飾的是狀語從句，要記住主句倒裝，從句不倒裝。
only修飾主語時，不用倒裝結構。 Only he can answer the question.
Examples
Only in this way can you learn English well. 只有用這種方法你才能學好英語。
Only then did I realize the mistakes I had made.到那時我才意識到我所犯的錯誤。
Only after I had read the poem a second time did I make sense of it. 我又讀了一遍這首詩之后才弄懂了它。
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 (to ...) for ... (向...)申請...
apply oneself to (doing) sth. 致力于；在...上努力
applicant n.申請人
applicant n.申請書
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.
四個 “as if”引導的方式狀從，均使用了與將來事實相反的虛擬語氣

(be動詞常用were)
對過去事實的虛擬：從句用過去完成時
對將來的虛擬：從句謂語would/could/might + do
我，一個盲人，可以給那些看得見的人一個忠告：要像明天就要慘遭失明之痛一樣去使用你的眼睛。同樣的方法也能用于其他感官：要像明天就要慘遭失聰之痛一樣，去仔細聆聽音樂的旋律、鳥兒的歌唱、交響樂的震撼音符；要像明天就會觸覺衰退一樣，去觸摸你想摸的每件物品；要像明天就會喪失嗅覺和味覺一樣，去聞鮮花的芬香，品嘗美味佳肴。但是，在所有的感覺中，我相信，視覺一定是最令人愉快的。
