扎克伯格为专门为女儿写了一封家书

小扎称，他们的女儿名叫马克斯（Max），夫妇俩将通过一个名为伯格—陈计划”（ChanZuckerbergInitiative）的新实体实施慈善捐赠。

扎克伯格为专门为女儿写了一封家书来宣布这个消息，读来令人动容：

你妈妈和我还找不到词汇来描述你给我们带来的对未来的期望。

你的新生活充满了潜能，我们愿你能健康快乐，以让你充分地去探索研究。

你已经给了我们一个理由去反思我们希望你生活的那个世界。

像所有的父母一样，我们想要你长大后的世界比我们今天更好。

Likeallparents,wewantyoutogrowupinaworldbetterthanourstoday.

如同所有的父母一样，我们希望你所生活的世界比我们现今所处的世界更加美好。

Whileheadlinesoftenfocusonwhat'swrong,inmanywaystheworldisgettingbetter.Healthisimproving.Povertyisshrinking.Knowledgeisgrowing.Peopleareconnecting.Technologicalprogressineveryfieldmeansyourlifeshouldbedramaticallybetterthanourstoday.

尽管各大报刊的头版头条皆在报道负面消息，我们所生活的世界正日渐美好。

健康状况有所改善、贫困比率有所下降、知识技能正在上升、人际交流日渐加深。

在每一领域，科学技术不断进步，这一切都表明：

你们这一代的生活将会远超我们。

Wewilldoourparttomakethishappen,notonlybecauseweloveyou,butalsobecausewehaveamoralresponsibilitytoallchildreninthenextgeneration.

我们将会尽己所能，实现这一目标，这不仅是因为我们爱你;更因为我们对下一代的所有孩子有着道义上的责任。

Webelieveallliveshaveequalvalue,andthatincludesthemanymorepeoplewhowillliveinfuturegenerationsthanlivetoday.Oursocietyhasanobligationtoinvestnowtoimprovethelivesofallthosecomingintothisworld,notjustthosealreadyhere.

在我们看来，所有的生命都有着共同的价值，其中包括众多的子孙后代。

我们现在这个社会有义务进行投资以改善世上所有生命的质量，而不仅包括提升我们这一代人的生活质量。

Butrightnow,wedon'talwayscollectivelydirectourresourcesatthebiggestopportunitiesandproblemsyourgenerationwillface.

然而现在，我们却并未总在齐心协力、整合资源以应对你们这一代将会面临的机遇与问题。

Considerdisease.Todaywespendabout50timesmoreasasocietytreatingpeoplewhoaresickthanweinvestinresearchsoyouwon'tgetsickinthefirstplace.

譬如疾病问题。

如今，我们用于社会医疗救治的资金是医学研究方面投资的五十倍，因此你们未来将不会受到疾病困扰。

Medicinehasonlybeenarealscienceforlessthan100years,andwe'vealreadyseencompletecuresforsomediseasesandgoodprogressforothers.Astechnologyaccelerates,wehavearealshotatpreventing,curingormanagingallormostoftherestinthenext100years.

医学作为一门真正的科学出现尚不到100年，我们已经完全治愈了一些疾病且在其他疾病的攻克方面进展良好。

随着科技进步的加速，在未来100年，我们定能成功预防、治疗或控制全部或至少大部分的疾病。

Today,mostpeoplediefromfivethings--heartdisease,cancer,stroke,neurodegenerativeandinfectiousdiseases--andwecanmakefasterprogressontheseandotherproblems.

今天，大多数人丧生于五种疾病：

心脏病、癌症、中风、神经变性疾病和传染性疾病。

在攻克这些疾病和其他问题方面，我们定能取得更快的进展。

Oncewerecognizethatyourgenerationandyourchildren'sgenerationmaynothavetosufferfromdisease,wecollectivelyhavearesponsibilitytotiltourinvestmentsabitmoretowardsthefuturetomakethisreality.YourmotherandIwanttodoourpart.

一旦我们意识到我们能够有所作为，以使你们这一代和你们的下一代免受疾病之苦，我们愿共同担负责任，提升我们面向未来的投资，使之成为现实。

我和你妈妈希望能尽己所能。

Curingdiseasewilltaketime.Overshortperiodsoffiveortenyears,itmaynotseemlikewe'remakingmuchofadifference.Butoverthelongterm,seedsplantednowwillgrow,andoneday,youoryourchildrenwillseewhatwecanonlyimagine:

aworldwithoutsufferingfromdisease.

治愈疾病需要时间。

历经五年抑或是十年这样的短暂时光，其可能看似不能产生实质性变化。

但是，从长远来看，我们现在播种的种子将会茁壮成长，终有一天，你或你的孩子会看到一幅我们这代人只能想象的景象：

世界免受疾病困扰。

Therearesomanyopportunitiesjustlikethis.Ifsocietyfocusesmoreofitsenergyonthesegreatchallenges,wewillleaveyourgenerationamuchbetterworld.

诸如这样的机会，还有很多。

如果社会能在应对这些重大挑战方面付出更多，我们将为你们这一代人留下一个更加美好的世界。

Ourhopesforyourgenerationfocusontwoideas:

advancinghumanpotentialandpromotingequality.

我们对你们这代期许有两点：

提升人类潜能，促进平等。

Advancinghumanpotentialisaboutpushingtheboundariesonhowgreatahumanlifecanbe.

推进人类潜能，指的是关于改善人类生活的障碍。
