關(guān)于慈善的英語新聞報道 關(guān)于慈善的英語報道：蓋茨稱慈善需要創(chuàng)新思想 American Bill Gates is known around the world as the founder and former chairman of Microsoft Corporation. He now serves as co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The private foundation is working to end deadly diseases and poverty. 比爾蓋茨作為微軟公司的創(chuàng)始人和前任主席而聞名于世。他現(xiàn)在擔(dān)任比爾和梅林達(dá)蓋茨基金會的聯(lián)合主席。私人基金會正在致力于終結(jié)致命疾病和貧困。 Recently, Bill Gates spoke about the importance of philanthropy – the custom of giving time and money to help other people. He says philanthropy depends on innovation, or new ideas, for best results. 最近，比爾蓋茨談到了慈善事業(yè)的重要性——捐贈時間和金錢幫助他人的習(xí)俗。他說，慈善事業(yè)依賴創(chuàng)新或新思想來獲得最佳結(jié)果。 Mr. Gates spoke during a visit to the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. He said his philanthropic work centers on problems that governments cannot solve effectively. Gates在訪問華盛頓的美國企業(yè)研究所時發(fā)表了講話。他說他的慈善工作集中在政府無法有效解決的問題上。 Bill Gates speaking at a philanthropy event. 比爾蓋茨在慈善活動上講話。 "There are things in terms of trying out social programs in innovative ways that government is just, because of the way job incentives work, they are not going to try out news designs like philanthropy can, and they are not bring to have volunteer hours coming in to leverage their resources like philanthropy can." “有在嘗試以創(chuàng)新的方式，政府只是社會事業(yè)方面的事情，因為工作激勵的工作方式，他們不去嘗試新聞設(shè)計像慈善事業(yè)，他們是不會帶來有義工時間來充分利用他們的資源，如慈善事業(yè)。” Bill Gates said charitable giving is very important in America. One example is the university system. He said universities produce highly trained professionals who then give financial support to universities. He also said that, in the United States, privately funded organizations create inventions that government cannot. 比爾蓋茨說慈善捐贈在美國非常重要。大學(xué)制度就是一個例子。他說，大學(xué)生產(chǎn)受過高度培訓(xùn)的專業(yè)人員，然后向大學(xué)提供財政支持。他還說，在美國，私人資助的組織創(chuàng)造了政府無法創(chuàng)造的發(fā)明。 He also spoke about the March of Dimes Foundation and its campaign to end polio. The foundation, he said, has paid for the development of two polio vaccines. Medical researcher Jonas Salk developed the first vaccine. Albert Sabin later created an oral vaccine. At the event, Mr. Gates held up one of the vaccines to show how small a treatment is. 他還談到了組織基礎(chǔ)及其消除小兒麻痹癥運(yùn)動三月。他說，基金會已經(jīng)為兩種脊髓灰質(zhì)炎疫苗的研制付出了代價。醫(yī)學(xué)研究員Jonas Salk開發(fā)的第一個疫苗。Albert Sabin后來創(chuàng)建了一個口服疫苗。在這次活動中，Gates先生舉起了一種疫苗來說明治療有多小。 "This is the oral polio vaccine. That's 10 doses and this thing costs $1.30 or 13 cents per kid." In 2012, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave away $3.4 billion dollars. The money went to support health research, education and development programs in the United States and around the world. But Mr. Gates noted that philanthropy cannot provide the wider improvements in areas such as public health, education, and employment. Governments, he said, were designed to serve the whole population. “這是口服脊髓灰質(zhì)炎疫苗。這是10劑，這個東西每個孩子要1.30美元或13美分。 2012，比爾和梅林達(dá)蓋茨基金會捐贈了34億美元。這筆錢用于支持美國和世界各地的衛(wèi)生研究、教育和發(fā)展項目。 但Gates先生指出，慈善事業(yè)不能在公共衛(wèi)生、教育和就業(yè)等領(lǐng)域提供更廣泛的改善。他說，政府的目的是為全體人民服務(wù)。 "When you want to give every child in America a good education, or make sure they are not starving, that's got to be government because philanthropy isn't there day in and day out serving the entire population. It's just not the scale or the design to do that." “如果你想給美國的每個孩子提供良好的教育，或者確保他們不挨餓，那就必須成為政府，因為慈善事業(yè)不是每天都在為全體人民服務(wù)的。”。這樣做并不只是規(guī)模或設(shè)計。” Philanthropy, Bill Gates said, needs research and innovation to seek answers to society's problems. But it is government's part to work for a better society. 比爾蓋茨說，慈善事業(yè)需要研究和創(chuàng)新，以尋求解決社會問題的方法。但是，為更好的社會而工作是政府的一部分。 關(guān)于慈善的英語新聞報道：臺灣的驕傲--菜販阿嬤陳樹菊 Not all philanthropists are rich. A few coins at a time is how Chen Shu-chu earns a living. Sheworks up to 18 hours a day, 6 days a week. But no matter how much she earns, she spendsno more than three dollars a day on herself. With the rest, she helps other people. 并非所有慈善家都是富有的。每次幾個硬幣就是陳樹菊如何賺錢為生的方式。她一天工作長達(dá)十八小時，一週工作六天。但無論她賺多少，她一天不花超過三美金(約臺幣 90 元)在自己身上。拿剩下來的錢，她幫助他人。 I feel very happy after donating money. Money is only useful if you give it to people who need it. 我捐完錢后感到很高興。錢只有在你給有需要的人時才有用。 Poverty is something Ms. Chen has struggled with almost all her life. She quit school to helpsupport her family after her mother died during a difficult childbirth. Her brother died a fewyears later, also because her family couldn't afford proper medical care. But instead of gettingangry, the tragedies inspired her to help the less fortunate. 貧困是一件陳女士幾乎一生都在對抗的事情。她在她的母親于難產(chǎn)身亡后，退學(xué)幫忙扶養(yǎng)她的家庭。她的弟弟幾年后去世，同樣是因為她的家人無法負(fù)擔(dān)適當(dāng)?shù)尼t(yī)療照護(hù)。然而非但沒有變得憤恨不平，這些悲劇反而激發(fā)她去幫助那些更不幸的人們。 With her modest earnings and simple way of living, Ms. Chen has managed to donate morethan 350,000 dollars to a local school, hospital, and children's homes like this one, which lookafter youngsters whose parents can't care for them. 靠著她不多的收入及簡樸的生活方式，陳女士已經(jīng)設(shè)法捐出超過三十五萬美金(約臺幣一千萬)給地方學(xué)校、醫(yī)院、及像這間一樣的兒童之家，他們照顧那些父母無能照料的孩子們。 Many children have grown up on the money and vegetables she donates, and the charity hasbuilt a second home in another city. Her generosity is frequently met with shock. And I'msurprised and then I say, "Wow, you give me one million?" I say, "I thought it's five thousand orten thousand. That's a big money already." And I say, "Wow, what can I do?" I say, "What can Ido?" I ask her. She says, "Well...what do you want, what do you plan, you do it, and just helpthe kids." 許多孩子靠她捐贈的金錢及蔬菜長大，而這間慈善機(jī)構(gòu)已經(jīng)在另一個城市打造第二個兒童之家。她的慷慨大方經(jīng)常受到驚嘆。我很訝異，然后我說：“哇，你要給我一百萬?”我說：“我以為是五千或一萬塊。那就已經(jīng)是一筆大數(shù)目了。”然后我說：“哇，我可以做什么?”我說：“我可以做什么?”，我問她。她說：“嗯...你想要做的、你計劃要做的，你就去做吧，就去幫助那些孩子。” Her charity donations have made Ms. Chen famous around the world. She's received multiplehonors and awards, including this one from the Filipino president, where she was awarded50,000 dollars. She promptly gave the money away to this local hospital. That inspired anoutpouring of donations, and a new medical wing. Despite the hard work and back and kneeproblems, Ms. Chen has no plans to retire. 她的慈善捐獻(xiàn)已經(jīng)使陳女士在世界各地變得知名。她已獲頒許多殊榮及獎項，包括這個授自菲律賓總統(tǒng)的獎，她在那受頒五萬美金(約臺幣一百五十萬)。她馬上將這筆錢送給這間地方醫(yī)院。那舉動產(chǎn)生一波捐款潮，以及一棟新的醫(yī)療分部。盡管工作辛苦還有背部和膝蓋的毛病，陳女士還是沒打算要退休。 I hope I can do this forever. Everyone can do it. It's not just me. If you want to do it, you mustdo it right away. After all, you can't take the money with you when you leave this world. 我希望我可以永遠(yuǎn)作這件事。每個人都能做這件事。不僅僅是我。如果你想要去做，你就得立刻行動。畢竟，你不能在你離開這世界時把錢財一起帶著。 |
