名校勵(lì)志英語演講 第33期:如何解決這個(gè)世界上最嚴(yán)重的不平等?
The final step—after seeing the problem and finding anapproach—is to measure the impact of your workand share your successes and failures so that otherslearn from your efforts.
在發(fā)現(xiàn)問題和找到解決方法之后，就該進(jìn)行最后一步——評(píng)估工作結(jié)果，與其他人分享你的成功經(jīng)驗(yàn)或者失敗經(jīng)驗(yàn)，這樣他們就可以從你的努力中有所收獲。
You have to have the statistics, of course. You have tobe able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children. You have to be able to show adecline in the number of children dying from these diseases. This is essential not just to improvethe program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government.
當(dāng)然，你必須有一些統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字。你必須讓他人知道，你的項(xiàng)目為幾百萬兒童新接種了疫苗。你也必須讓他人知道，死于這些疾病的兒童人數(shù)下降了多少。這些都是很關(guān)鍵的，不僅有利于改進(jìn)項(xiàng)目，也有利于從商界和政府得到更多的幫助。
But if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you haveto convey the human impact of the work—so people can feel what saving a life means to thefamilies affected.
但是，這些還不夠，如果你想激勵(lì)其他人參加你的項(xiàng)目，你需要拿出的就遠(yuǎn)不止一些統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字了;你必須展示你的項(xiàng)目的人性因素，這樣其他人就會(huì)感到拯救一個(gè)生命對(duì)那些處在困境中的家庭到底意味著什么。
I remember going to Davos some years back and sitting on a global health panel that wasdiscussing ways to save millions of lives. Millions! Think of the thrill of saving just one person's life—then multiply that by millions. …Yet this was the most boring panel I've ever been on—ever. Soboring even I couldn't stand it.
幾年前，我去瑞士達(dá)沃斯旁聽一個(gè)關(guān)于全球健康問題論壇，會(huì)議的內(nèi)容有關(guān)于如何拯救幾百萬條生命。天哪，是幾百萬!想一想吧，拯救一個(gè)人的生命是何等讓人激動(dòng)，現(xiàn)在你要把這種激動(dòng)再乘上幾百萬……但是，不幸的是，這是我參加過的最最乏味的論壇，乏味到我無法強(qiáng)迫自己聽下去。
What made that experience especially striking was that I had just come from an event where wewere introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shoutingwith excitement.
那次經(jīng)歷之所以讓我難忘，是因?yàn)橹拔覀儎倓偘l(fā)布了一個(gè)軟件的第13個(gè)版本，我們讓觀眾激動(dòng)得跳了起來，喊出了聲。
