1月25日英语故事:A Ball to Roll Around

:qq66] can you understand the little story?have a try and tranlate the red one into to Chinese to gain the score.

   I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believe in it so deeply, otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
[color=red]Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality[/color]. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me——a potential to live , you might call it—— which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.

Let's me try!
  在4岁的时候,一辆开往大西洋城的货车上掉下一件货物砸到我的头上,导致失明。现在我32岁,能依稀的记得灿烂的阳光和那鲜艳的红色。如果能恢复光明对于我将是一件让人高兴的事情,但是同时这对于其他人来说也确实是一个灾难。一天有一个想法浮现在我的脑海里,如果不是失明的话,我可能不会如此的珍爱我的生命。现在我热爱着我的生活,否则我不会如此的深信它。但这并不意味着,我愿意失去我的眼睛。这仅仅意味着当失去了他们,使我欣赏到了更多的东西。我相信生活,会教会我们一系列的方法去调整自己,来面对现实。越多的准备做个人调整,就会对个人世界有越多的意义。调整并不是一件容易的事情。我曾经困惑害怕。但是我很幸运。我的父母和老师是我看到了我没有看到的东西——可以称之我潜在的生活,努力的争取和失明抗争。
That's all. Because my English is poor ,may be a lot of mistakes in the sentence. Hope you can give me some good advice and help me to improve oral English. Meanwhile, i will try my best .
