Class 4 English Santoor – Unit 2: My Beautiful World – Chapter 6 Braille – Hindi Translation

Long ago, in France, a little boy named Louis Braille was playing outside his home. He was three years old. His father, a blacksmith, was working nearby. Louis started playing with the tools around him.
Hindi Translationबहुत समय पहले की बात है। फ्रांस में लुई ब्रेल नाम का एक छोटा लड़का रहता था। वह अपने घर के बाहर खेल रहा था। वह तीन साल का था। उसके पिता लोहार थे और पास में काम कर रहे थे। लुई आसपास रखे औज़ारों से खेलने लगा।

Suddenly, a sharp tool pierced his eye. He cried out in pain. Within a few days, he became blind in one eye. The other eye also got affected, and he became totally blind.
Hindi Translationअचानक एक तेज़ औज़ार उसकी आँख में चुभ गया। वह दर्द से चीख पड़ा। कुछ ही दिनों में उसकी एक आँख की रोशनी चली गई। दूसरी आँख भी प्रभावित हो गई और वह पूरी तरह से दृष्टिहीन हो गया।

In 1819, Louis, who was ten years old, got admission in the Royal Institute for Young Blind Persons in Paris. He learnt letters by using wood, cloth or pins arranged in pincushions. Around this time, an army man named Capt. Charles Barbier de la Serre had invented something called ‘Night Writing’. It was an alphabet of raised dots and dashes that soldiers could ‘read’ with their fingers in the dark. However, it was too difficult and, therefore, not a success. But Louis, now a teenager, became interested in it and simplified it.
Hindi Translationसन 1819 में, दस वर्ष की उम्र में लुई ने पेरिस के ‘रॉयल इंस्टीट्यूट फॉर यंग ब्लाइंड पर्सन्स’ में दाखिला लिया। वहाँ उसने लकड़ी, कपड़े या पिन-कुशन में लगाए गए पिनों की सहायता से अक्षरों को पहचानना सीखा। इसी समय कैप्टन चार्ल्स बार्बिए डि ला सेरे नामक एक सेनाधिकारी ने ‘नाइट राइटिंग’ नाम की एक प्रणाली का आविष्कार किया। यह उभरे हुए बिंदुओं और डैश की एक वर्णमाला थी, जिसे सैनिक अंधेरे में अपनी उँगलियों से ‘पढ़’ सकते थे। लेकिन यह बहुत कठिन थी और इसलिए सफल नहीं हो सकी। लुई, जो अब किशोर हो चुका था, इसमें रुचि लेने लगा और उसने इसे सरल बना दिया।

He gave the world the Braille alphabet.
Thus, a blind person taught the world to see.
Braille is a method of reading through touch. As you can see in the figure, there is one Braille symbol for each of the twenty-six symbols (letters) of the English alphabet.
Hindi Translationउसने दुनिया को ब्रेल लिपि दी।
इस प्रकार, एक दृष्टिहीन व्यक्ति ने दुनिया को देखने का रास्ता दिखाया।
ब्रेल स्पर्श के माध्यम से पढ़ने की एक विधि है। जैसा कि आप चित्र में देख सकते हैं, अंग्रेज़ी वर्णमाला के छब्बीस अक्षरों में से प्रत्येक अक्षर के लिए ब्रेल का एक अलग चिन्ह होता है।

But Braille requires more space. This is because the letters cannot be written too close together. Since Braille requires more space, a Braille book is thicker than a regular printed book.
Hindi Translationलेकिन ब्रेल में अधिक जगह की आवश्यकता होती है। ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि ब्रेल के अक्षरों को एक-दूसरे के बहुत पास नहीं लिखा जा सकता। ब्रेल में अधिक जगह की आवश्यकता होने के कारण, ब्रेल की किताब सामान्य छपी हुई किताब से अधिक मोटी होती है।

Braille is not just for people with blindness. Even people with sight can learn Braille too. Then they can write small poems and stories in Braille.
Hindi Translationब्रेल केवल दृष्टिहीन लोगों के लिए ही नहीं है। जिन लोगों को दिखाई देता है, वे भी ब्रेल सीख सकते हैं। इसके बाद वे ब्रेल में छोटी कविताएँ और कहानियाँ लिख सकते हैं।
