   World Braille Day is on the 4th of January every year. That’s the date of birth of Louis Braille, the manwho invented the system that helps blind people read and write. Braille was a Frenchman who lived between 1809 and 1852. He became blind at the age of three. He was a very talented boy. At school he learnt the cello1 and organ and toured France to play in churches. He was just 15 when he invented his reading and writing system. It was a stroke of genius. He used just six raised dots on paper so people could feel each letter of the alphabet with their fingertip. Braille changed the lives of blind people forever. He had no ideahow important his invention was because he died aged2 43. Two years after his death, France officially recognized his system.

  每年的1月4日是国际盲人节。这天是路易斯·布莱叶的生日,他发明了帮助盲人阅读和书写的盲人点子法。这位法国人出生于1809年,去世于1852年。三岁时失明。他是一名非常有天赋的儿童。上学期间,他学习了大提琴和其他乐器,并在法国的教堂中做巡回演出。他发明盲人点子法时才15岁。这真是天才的想法。他只使用了6个凸点,这样盲人就可以用手指来感觉每一个字母。盲文彻彻底底改变了盲人的命运。他不知道他的发明为盲人带来了什么,因为他去世时只有43岁。他去世后的两年,法国官方承认了他的发明。

  International (World) Braille Day is celebrated3 all over the world. It recognizes how Louis Braille has revolutionized the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired4. Braille is a key to improving social and economic opportunities to millions. It has given the blind a means to be more independent and to educate themselves. Without it, many people would be illiterate5. People used to use a special typewriter calleda Brailler to write. Nowadays, computers make it very easy for people to read and write using Braille. A worker with America’s blind, Des Kenny, said: “Braille is to the blind person what the printed word is tothe sighted individual - access to information and contact with the outside world”. So, January 4th celebrates the magic of six small dots.
  全球的人们都在庆祝这一节日。布莱叶改变了盲人和视觉障碍人群的人生。盲文为上百万人创造了社会和经济机遇。盲人将变得更加独立,并能够自学成才。没有盲文,许多人将会成为文盲。曾经,人们使用一个名叫Brailler的打字机写字。如今,盲人可以用盲文在电脑上阅读。美国工人登斯·肯尼说:“盲文对盲人的重要意义就像文字对正常人的重要意义一样,有了盲文,盲人能够与外界进行沟通。所以,1月4日庆祝的是6点法的奇迹。

  2.to contact with 交流

  自这一次禽流感在亚洲爆发以来,绝大多数病例都以与动物接触为病源。
