“尽管以长篇小说闻名，但正是在H. G. Wells早期的短篇故事中，他首次探索了科学与人类之间的关系。本选集汇集了他的二十三篇短篇作品。在《The Star》中，一颗巨大的彗星疾驰冲向地球，人类惊恐敬畏地仰望苍穹；《The Cone》是一篇发生在英国工业区高炉间的通奸与复仇故事；而《The Country of the Blind》则讲述了一名登山者在安第斯山脉发现一个迷失山谷的故事——那里有着一种与其自身迥然相异、令人不寒而栗的文明。在此，奇幻与

也许你应该去读读赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯（H.G. Wells）的短篇小说《盲人国》（The Country of the Blind）。http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/3/ 简而言之：一个普遍缺失某种感官的社会，会认为拥有那额外感官的人是疯子。
Perhaps you should read the short story "The Country of the Blind" by HG Wells. http://www.online-literature.com/wellshg/3/ To wit: a society generally lacking in a sense thinks those with that extra sense insane.
我倒往往会想到那些因为我的古怪举止而感到不适的人，但摆脱他们也让我感受到一种类似的释然。我经常在 H.G. 威尔斯的短篇小说《盲人国》里找到共鸣与慰藉。
I tend to think of the people who were made uncomfortable by my antics instead, but I feel a similar sense of relief to be free of them. I've often found comfort in the H.G.Wells short story "The Country of the Blind".
最近《99% Invisible》有一期节目聊到了这个。https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-country-of-the-bl... 里面他们提到了《盲人国》（https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635964/the-country-...）。这两样我都看了/听了，觉得挺有意思。不过我没得失明症，所以不太确定对真正失明的人有多大帮助，但是……
Recently there was an episode of 99% that touched on this. https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/the-country-of-the-bl... In it they refer to country of the blind (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/635964/the-country-...). Consumed them both and found it pretty interesting. I’m not going blind though, so not sure how helpful it is for someone so is, but…
……挺神（大概率是冷读术），但绝不能作为我们制定政策的依据。你低估了人类作为社会性动物的程度。另见：H. G. 威尔斯的小说《盲人国》。https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind
…pretty neat (probably cold reading), but not something we should make policy decisions on the basis of. You underestimate the extent to which humans are social creatures. See also: H. G. Wells's story The Country of the Blind. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind
H. G. 威尔斯曾写过这句谚语的局限性 [1]。[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind
H. G. Wells wrote about how this proverb has limitations [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_of_the_Blind
让我想起了 H.G. 威尔斯的《盲人国》。讲的是一个人误入了一个山谷，那里的居民世世代代全都是盲人。起初他以为自己因为眼睛看得见而拥有了“超能力”……
Reminds me of The Country of the Blind by HG Wells. It’s about a guy who finds his way into a valley in a mountain range where everyone has been blind for generations. At first he thinks that he’ll have “a superpower“ because he’s sighted.…
