英语PK台 第354期:小扎夫人:再捐30亿,攻克疾病,教育革命,服务全人类

 　　1. One year ago, our daughter Max was born and we launched Chan Zuckerberg Initiative with the goal of dramatically improving their lives of all those in Max's generation. Our mission is ambitious, advancing human potential and promoting the quality. And make sure we don't miss a single soul, we reach every individual. We asked ourselves: in our children's life time, is it possible for them to learn a hundred times what we do today. Can we ease the suffering of many by caring, preventing or managing all the diseases that affect us now?

　　一年前,伴随着我们的女儿麦克斯的降生,我们推出了陈-扎克伯格倡议，旨在深入改善麦克斯这一代孩子们的生活。我们的使命是雄心勃勃的：我们要激发人类的潜能并提高人们的生活质量。同时，我们要确保服务到每一个人，不错过任何一个灵魂。我们问自己:在我们孩子这一代的一生中,是否有可能让他们学习到我们今天所能学到的一百倍？是否可以通过照料、预防或管理现在所有折磨着我们的疾病而减轻很多人的痛苦?
　　These are big questions and they are incredibly personal for me. I am a daughter of Chinese-Vietnam's refugees. My parents didn't come to this country with much and they tried their best to navigate 1 this world. My mother who's here, she worked long hours and multiple jobs to make sure that my sisters and I have the best opportunities possible.
　　这些听起来都是大问题,但他们对我来说却非常真实。我是华裔越南难民的女儿。我的父母刚来到这个国家的时候一无所有，但他们尽了最大的努力在这个世界中前行。为了确保我和姐妹们得到最好的教育机会，我的母亲必须长时间地劳作并同时兼几份工。
　　As a child of refugees and first generation to go to college, I have ended up in a place with incredible,seemingly limitless opportunity. Realizing that I was incredibly lucky to be where I was sparked and continuous to drive me to ensure that others, regardlessof background, can have their opportunity to reach their dreams and their full potential.
　　作为难民的孩子和家里第一代上了大学的人,我最终到达了一个令人难以置信的地方,这里充满了看似无限的机会。对于这份幸运的感恩不断地驱使着我去确保他人,不论他们来自什么背景,都可以有机会实现他们的梦想并发挥他们的全部潜力。
　　2. In college, I let in on of an after-school program, very close to where I grew up. Our official job was to help kids with their homework. But in reality, we did whatever we needed to do to give those kids a chance to thrive. Those kids were the soul of my college experience.
　　在大学期间,我参加了一个课外活动,离我长大的地方非常近。我们的正式工作是帮助孩子们辅导功课。但实际上,我们做了一切我们需要做的事情来给这些孩子们一个茁壮成长的机会。那些孩子是我大学经历的灵魂。
　　One day, a school councilor came to me to look for a kid who missed several days in school. I haven't seen her either but I agreed to go and help find that student and see what's happening. After program that day I step out and went to the playground and found her immediately. I saw why she hadn't been to school. Her two front teeth were broken and she was shamed to be seen. My heart and mind were flooded with questions. What had happened to her? Was she hurt? Were her teeth infected? What could I have done to prevent this? That last question quested me. The question is simple but the answer is so complexed that I had no tools to tackle.
　　一天,一个学校委员来找我，问询一个好几天没来上学的孩子的下落。我也没见过她,但我同意去帮忙找到这个学生,看看到底发生了什么事。这天活动结束后,我走出来，立即在操场上找到了她。我明白了她为什么没有去上学，她的两颗门牙碎了, 她因此感到很羞辱，不想让别人看见。我的心里和脑袋里顿时产生了无数的问号：她到底发生了什么事? 她疼吗?她的牙齿感染了吗? 我本可以做些什么来防止这种情况发生? 最后一个问题难住了我。这个问题很简单,但答案是如此复杂,我当时并没有工具来解决它。
　　That question drove me to medical school to help expand my tool box of skills to help children, all children to thrive. Over time, my work as an educator and as a pediatrician has let me to think bigger about what's possible, what can we do to enable Max and every child in her generation to exceed all of dreams of what we currently think is possible.
　　这个问题驱使我进了医学院，让我扩展我工具箱里的技能来帮助孩子们,所有的孩子们，茁壮成长。多年来作为一个教育工作者和一个儿科医生的经历，令我敢于设想更大的可能性, 设想我们能做些什么让马克斯他们这代的每一个孩子超越所有我们目前认为有可能实现的梦想。
　　3. How we can best make an impact for every child to be passionate 2 about learning and to learn more than we ever thought possible? After six years of learning and iterating, we believe that personalized learning can help us to reach that goal. Personalized learning recognizes that children all have different needs: academic, physical and emotional wellbeing, learning styles and interests. By building new tools and systems, we can get students ownership over their learning; access to resources that really resonate with them and opportunities to see their learning come to life.
　　怎么样才是最好的方式来影响每一个孩子，使他们热爱学习并学到远超出我们想象的内容? 经过六年的学习和反复验证,我们相信“个性化学习”可以帮助我们达到这一目标。个性化学习承认每个孩子都有不同的需求: 学术方面的,身体方面的，情绪健康方面的、学习风格方面的和兴趣方面的。通过构建新的工具和系统,我们可以让学生们拥有学习自主权；使他们获得真正能让他们产生共鸣的学习资源和趣味学习的机会。
　　At primary school, we are doing that for the early childhood and elementary world, integrating health development and parental 3 support. As to yesterday, we are now serving more than a hundred families. In the middle school and high school world, we're helping 4 build a number of school models and tools to help children build their core knowledge and skills in the way that best suit them, serving more than 20,000 students in over a hundred schools nationwide. And outside the traditional classroom, we are investing the companies like “Byjus” that's giving 250,000 students access to incredible high quality of materials to augment 5 their in-school-learning.
　　在小学里,我们在为幼儿和小学生开展“个性化学习”, 同时融合健康发展和父母的支持。到昨天为止,我们服务的家庭已经超过了一百个。在初中和高中,我们在帮助建立一系列学校模型和工具,以帮助孩子掌握最适合他们的核心知识和技能, 为全国一百多所学校的20000多名学生服务。在传统课堂之外,我们还投资了像“Byjus” 这样的公司，给250000名学生提供无以伦比的高质量的材料来补充他们的校内学习。
