   The thing is, lots and lots of people propose that Wikipedia should accept ads.


  确实有许许多多的人提议,维基百科应该接受广告。
  And it is not an unreasonable 1 position. I am opposed to it, but I am actually a moderate about it.
  这种提议是合情合理的,但是我还是持反对态度,尽管实际上,我对此表中立态度。
  I think there is a set of circumstances in which the Wikipedia community would accept ads, but we are nowhere near it and I personally hope we never get there.
  可能在某些情况下,我们会接受广告,但是目前不太可能出现。我希望将来也不要出现。
  But, time will tell. My view is that we should all—not just me, not just the board, not just the current community
  但是时间会揭示一切。我的观点是,我们,不仅仅是我,整个董事会,目前的社区
  —but everyone who thinks of themselves as a citizen of the Internet, a citizen of the world
  而应该是每个把自己看作是网络世界和真实世界中的一份子的人
  一we should all think about Wikipedia as part of the infrastructure 2 of the world, not a competitor in the Internet space, not just a website,
  我们应该将维基百科视作世界的基础设施之一,而不是互联网上的一个竞争性组织。维基百科并不仅仅是一个网站
  but something deeper, cultural, and potentially of value to everyone.
  而是一种更深刻的东西,文化方面的,是潜在的价值观。
  As such, we should think about the long run一not the next quarter, not the next year, not the next 5 years.
  我们考虑问题,不是只考虑下个季度、下一年、或者未5年,我们考虑的是长期发展。
  What about 50 years? What about 100 years? What’s best for the world in the long run?
  维基百科应该怎样做,才能在未来50年甚至100年中,对整个世界最有利。
  We desperately 3 need to make sure that everyone on the planet has access to high quality information.
  我们竭尽全力,确保这个星球上的每个人都能够得到高质量的信息。
  We are on a small and crowded planet that will get more crowded in this century.
  地球已经很小很拥挤了,未来的这个世纪还会更拥挤
  We need to live together in peace and productivity. We need to take individual rights seriously.
  人类需要和平合作地生活在一起。我们需要严肃对待个人的权利,需要理性
  We need to have political decisions that are rational and fact-based.We need to have culture and joy and art and love.These are heavy responsibilities for us all.
  和客观的政治决策,需要文化、乐趣、艺术和情感。这些都是非常重大的责任。
  And slapping a “leaderboard " on Wikipedia to bring in short-term revenue might not be the best plan. (Or it might. But we need to think like adults about it.)
  如果我们为了短期的收入,在维基百科上放置广告,这并不一定有利于达到我们的目标。(它也可能会有帮助,但是我们一定要像成人一样思考。)
