But note that we have often tried to eliminate mosquitoes using chemicals, which have horrendous and damaging off-target effects, so removing one species without insecticide is an improvement on that. In addition, few animals rely on malaria mosquitoes for food: a study looking at the effect of getting rid of mosquitoes found that removal is unlikely to have a big impact on the local ecosystem.
但请注意,我们经常试图用化学物质消灭蚊子,这些化学物质有可怕的、破坏性的脱靶效应,所以在不使用杀虫剂的情况下除掉一个物种是一种改良
It seems outrageous – hubristic, even – to suggest that we can cure, prevent and treat all disease by the end of the century. But Cori Bargmann, a geneticist and neuroscientist who heads up the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, takes the long view. "Going back in time a similar distance, much of modern medicine would have been unthinkable," Bargmann says, "from organ transplants and deep brain stimulation to treating cancer by manipulating the immune system."
认为我们可以在本世纪末治愈、预防和治疗所有疾病的想法似乎令人震惊,甚至有些傲慢
In 80 years, we will almost certainly have made changes that make our best medicine look like crude guesswork. We may even have reduced the incidence of illness and disease to that of extreme rarity.
在80年的时间内,我们肯定能够做出一些改变,让我们最好的药看起来就像当初设想的一样,甚至可能将疾病的发病率降低到极低的程度
When the dust settles on the Covid-19 disaster, we should have learned that preventing disease from spreading – or at least limiting it as much as possible – not only spares lives and improves our physical and mental wellbeing, but also saves jobs and the economy. And we will understand that prevention of illness through vaccines has to be equitable and it has to be global. Investment now in healthcare and in preparation for future threats prevents deaths and economic destruction later. And it opens the way to a longer, happier life – it opens the way to achieving more human potential.
当新冠肺炎这一灾难尘埃落定时,我们本应认识到,防止疾病传播——或至少尽可能限制它的传播——不仅能拯救生命,改善我们的身心健康,而且还能拯救就业和经济
