比爾蓋茨的哈佛大學(xué)演講(5)

　　But you and I have both.

　　但是，你們和我在經(jīng)濟(jì)上有實(shí)力，在政治上能夠發(fā)出聲音。

　　We can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalism - if we can stretch the reach of market forces so that more people can make a profit, or at least make a living, serving people who are suffering from the worst inequities. We also can press governments around the world to spend taxpayer money in ways that better reflect the values of the people who pay the taxes.

　　我們可以讓市場(chǎng)更好地為窮人服務(wù)，如果我們能夠設(shè)計(jì)出一種更有創(chuàng)新性的資本主義制度----如果我們可以改變市場(chǎng)，讓更多的人可以獲得利潤(rùn)，或者至少可以維持生活----那么，這就可以幫到那些正在極端不平等的狀況中受苦的人們。我們還可以向全世界的政府施壓，要求他們將納稅人的錢，花到更符合納稅人價(jià)值觀的地方。

　　If we can find approaches that meet the needs of the poor in ways that generate profits for business and votes for politicians, we will have found a sustainable way to reduce inequity in the world. This task is open-ended. It can never be finished. But a conscious effort to answer this challenge will change the world.

　　如果我們能夠找到這樣一種方法，既可以幫到窮人，又可以為商人帶來利潤(rùn)，為政治家?guī)磉x票，那么我們就找到了一種減少世界性不平等的可持續(xù)的發(fā)展道路。這個(gè)任務(wù)是無限的。它不可能被完全完成，但是任何自覺地解決這個(gè)問題的嘗試，都將會(huì)改變這個(gè)世界。

　　I am optimistic that we can do this, but I talk to skeptics who claim there is no hope. They say: "Inequity has been with us since the beginning, and will be with us till the end - because people just ... don't ... care." I completely disagree.

　　在這個(gè)問題上，我是樂觀的。但是，我也遇到過那些感到絕望的懷疑主義者。他們說："不平等從人類誕生的第一天就存在，到人類滅亡的最后一天也將存在。----因?yàn)槿祟悓?duì)這個(gè)問題根本不在乎。"我完全不能同意這種觀點(diǎn)。

　　I believe we have more caring than we know what to do with.

　　我相信，問題不是我們不在乎，而是我們不知道怎么做。
