So that's coronavirus and malaria on our list. What else might we be able to eradicate if we had $1tn to spend?
我们的名单上有冠状病毒和疟疾
Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that kills almost 2 million people each year, overwhelmingly in poor and middle-income countries. The factor holding back eradication has not been a lack of understanding the biology of the disease, but a chronic lack of resources, and the growth of resistance of the pathogen to our bacterial treatments. We can change this. We can tackle other tropical diseases, too, such as schistosomiasis, a debilitating parasitic disease that affects 200 million people a year.
肺结核是一种细菌性疾病,每年导致近200万人死亡,绝大多数发生在贫穷和中等收入国家
But let's think bigger even than curing all infectious diseases. Picture a world free of all disease. Thousands of scientists and doctors are striving to treat and cure the world's biggest killers: cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurological disease. With an injection of cash, we could boost their chances, and see if we could transform the entire human experience by removing all illness. But if you want to make immense gains in public health on a global scale, and make them sustainable, there is one serious, ambitious, difficult, complex and expensive thing that needs to be implemented. This doesn't seem to be something that is talked about or invested in by billionaires: universal healthcare.
但是,让我们想想比治愈所有传染病更大的问题
The World Bank published its first analysis of global health, the World Development report, in 1993. Targeted at government finance ministers, the report showed that health expenditure could improve prosperity as well as individual wellbeing. To mark the 20th anniversary of publication, an international Lancet commission put together an investment framework to achieve what they call a "grand convergence" in health by 2035.
世界银行于1993年发布了其第一份全球卫生分析报告《世界发展报告》
By this, they mean bringing deaths from infectious disease in low-and middle-income countries, as well as child and maternal deaths, to the levels seen in the best-performing middle-income countries: China, Chile, Costa Rica and Cuba. A grand convergence, the paper predicts, could prevent some 10 million deaths in 2035.
这意味着使低收入和中等收入国家的传染病死亡人数,以及儿童和孕产妇死亡人数,达到表现最好的中等收入国家(中国、智利、哥斯达黎加和古巴)的水平
词语解释
1.held back 阻止
She was held back by some sense of self-preservation.
一种自我保护意识使她没有贸然行动
2.convergence 会聚,集合
Convergence has been the buzzword of the media world for years now.
融合是这些年来各种媒体的时髦词儿
