第1段
Several cases have been reported in Russia recently of people who can read and detect colours with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an eleven-year-old schoolgirl, Vera Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles.
俄罗斯最近报道了几起事例，有人能用手指阅读和辨认颜色，甚至能看透厚实的大门和墙壁。其中一个是关于一位名叫维拉·彼托洛娃的11岁学生，她的视力与常人无异，但她还能用身体不同部位的皮肤看到东西，甚至看透厚实的墙壁。她的父亲最先发现她拥有这个能力。一天，维拉走进父亲的办公室，偶然把手放在上了锁的保险柜门上，她突然问其父为什么会在保险柜里锁这么多的旧报纸，甚至说出了那些报纸捆扎摆放的样子。
第2段
Vera's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of Ulyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still, by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colours printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colours of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests Vera was blindfold; and, indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.
维拉的特异功能引起了她家附近乌里扬诺夫斯克城一个科研机构的注意。在 4月，俄罗斯卫生部一个特别委员会对她进行了一系列的测试。 在这些测试中，她能隔着不透明的屏幕读报纸。更为奇怪的是，她把手肘在儿童玩的 “乐透”纸牌上一晃，便能说出印在纸牌上的数字和颜色；还有一次，她穿着长筒袜和拖鞋，地毯下面藏着的画，她能用脚识别出轮廓和颜色。其它试验表明，她的膝盖和双肩有类似的感觉能力。 在所有这些试验中，维拉的双眼都是蒙着的，而且实际上，如果不蒙上双眼，她的皮肤就丧失了识别物体的能力。 同时还发现，尽管她能用手指识别东西，但一旦打湿她的手，这种能力便会立即消失。
