偶像勵志英語演講 第98期:如何解決這個世界最嚴重的不平等(8)
艾滋病就是一個例子。
[00:04.37]The broad goal, of course, is to end the disease.
毫無疑問，總的目標是消滅這種疾病。
[00:09.01]The highest-leverage approach is prevention.
最高效的方法是預(yù)防。
[00:12.30]The ideal technology would be a vaccine that gives lifetime immunity with a single dose.
最理想的技術(shù)是一種疫苗，只要注射一次，就可以終生免疫。
[00:20.17]So governments, drug companies, and foundations are funding vaccine research.
所以，政府、制藥公司、基金會在資助疫苗研究。
[00:26.55]But their work is likely to take more than a decade,
但是，這種研究工作很可能花費十幾年時間。
[00:30.35]so in the meantime, we have to work with what we have in hand-
因此，與此同時，我們必須使用現(xiàn)有技術(shù)——
[00:34.37]and the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behavior.
目前最有效的預(yù)防方法就是設(shè)法讓人們避免那些危險的行為。
[00:40.35]Pursuing that goal starts the four-step cycle again.
要實現(xiàn)這個目標，又可以采用四步循環(huán)。
[00:45.00]This is the pattern.
這是一種模式。
[00:46.59]The crucial thing is to never stop thinking and working-
關(guān)鍵是永遠不要停止思考和行動——
[00:52.24]and never do what we did with malaria and tuberculosis in the 20th century-
我們千萬不能再犯上個世紀在瘧疾和肺結(jié)核上犯過的錯誤——
[00:59.18]which is to surrender to complexity and quit.
那時我們因為它們太復(fù)雜而放棄了采取行動。
[01:04.11]The final step-after seeing the problem and finding an approach is to measure the impact of the work
在發(fā)現(xiàn)問題和找到解決方法之后，就該進行最后一步——評估工作結(jié)果，
[01:12.32]and share tha successes and failures so that others can learn from the efforts.
將你的成功經(jīng)驗或者失敗經(jīng)驗同其他人分享，這樣他們就可以從你的努力中有所收獲。
[01:19.46]You have to have the statistics, of course.
當(dāng)然，你必須有一些統(tǒng)計數(shù)字。
[01:22.54]You have to be able to show, for example, that a program is vaccinating millions more children.
你必須讓他人知道，例如，你的項目為幾百萬兒童接種了疫苗。
[01:29.31]You have to be able to show, for example, a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases.
你也必須讓他人知道，兒童死亡人數(shù)下降了多少。
[01:36.05]This is essential not just to improve the program,
這些都是很關(guān)鍵的，不僅有利于改進項目，
[01:39.10]but also to help draw more investment from business and government.
也有利于從商界和政府得到更多的幫助。
