Daniel: Mom, the road is so strange! It is different from the common roads.
Mom: Oh, it was done for the blinds. They can feel and find their way to any place they want.
Daniel: Is that really so? Oh, great. It's unnecessary for the blind to get that extremely expensive eyes-seeing dog.
Mom: Yeah, the eyes-seeing dog is expensive but it can look after the master without any problem.
Daniel: Oh, Mom, it's just a dog like Barbie. But how does a blind person without an eyes-seeing dog live a normal life?
Mom: They have little trouble in the public places now. Thanks to the good social services. You know, we have a lot of public facilities especially for the blind, such as the assistant facilities in elevator, or on the subway.
Daniel: Oh, yeah, I also hear the reminder1 when crossing the street. Is that for the blind, too?
Mom: Of course. If there isn't a broadcast that reminds the blind to be careful at intersections2, they are unable to cross safely.
Daniel: I recall that you told me there is some Braille on the paper money. Where is it?
Mom: Mr. Forgetful, I told you it's right here. Just have a try. Can you feel it?
Daniel: Oh, it's impossible for me. I feel nothing. Oh, how can they feel it by touch?
Mom: They have incredibly sensitive fingers' feelings.
Daniel: Sounds quite reasonable.
Mom: We, able-bodied people, should do something for the disabled.
Daniel: Oh, I want to be an inventor to work out more useful things.
Mom: A good idea.

丹尼尔：妈妈，这路真奇怪，和普通的路不同。
妈妈：哦，这是为盲人设计的。他们能感觉并找到通向他们想去的地方的路。
丹尼尔：真的吗？噢，太棒了。那盲人就不用买那种特别贵的导盲犬了。
妈妈：是啊，可导盲犬虽然昂贵但照顾主人却完全没有问题。
丹尼尔：噢，妈妈，那是像芭比一样的狗吧。但是没有导盲犬的盲人怎么正常地生活呢？
妈妈：他们现在在公共场合没有什么困难，这多亏了完善的社会服务体系。你看，有很多专为盲人设置的公共设施，像电梯或地铁里的辅助设施。
丹尼尔：是啊，刚刚过马路的时候我还听到了提示。那也是为盲人准备的吧？
妈妈：当然，如果在十字路口没有广播提示盲人小心，他们就不能安全地过马路了。
丹尼尔：我想起来了你告诉我纸币上有盲文，在哪里呢？
妈妈：忘事先生，我告诉过你就在这里。来试一试，能感觉到吗？
丹尼尔：噢，对我来说不可能啊，我什么都没感觉到。他们怎么能通过触摸感觉得到呢？
妈妈：他们的手指有非常敏锐的的触觉。
丹尼尔：听起来很有道理。
妈妈：我们这些身体健全的人应该为残疾人做点什么。
丹尼尔：噢，我想当个发明家，发明出更多有用的东西。
妈妈：好主意。
