1.When I was invited to give this talk a couple of months ago, we discussed a number of titles with the organizers, and a lot of different items were kicked around and were discussed. 几周前，我受邀来进行这场演讲时 我们与主办方探讨了几个题目 从各个角度考虑并讨论了很多不同的可能性。2.But nobody suggested this one, and the reason for that was two months ago, Ebola was escalating exponentially and spreading over wider geographic areas than we had ever seen, 但没有人提议“击败埃博拉”这个话题， 而其原因正是在两个月前， 埃博拉病毒以指数般滋生， 蔓延到了前所未见的广大地区，3.and the world was terrified, concerned and alarmed by this disease, in a way weve not seen in recent history. 而全世界都为之惊恐、担忧、警惕， 其紧张程度在近代历史上都不曾见到。4.But today, I can stand here and I can talk to you about beating Ebola because of people whom youve never heard of, people like Peter Clement, a Liberian doctor whos working in Lofa County, 但今天，我能够站在这里，与大家讨论击败埃博拉这个话题， 多亏了那些你们从未听说过的人们， 比如彼特?克莱蒙德，利比理亚洛法镇的一名医生，5.a place that many of you have never heard of, probably, in Liberia. 你们当中许多人可能从未听说过利比理亚的洛法镇。6.The reason that Lofa County is so important is because about five months ago, when the epidemic was just starting to escalate, Lofa County was right at the center, the epicenter of this epidemic. 洛法镇如此重要的原因 就是因为在大约五个月前， 当埃博拉疫情刚刚开始蔓延时， 洛法镇正是这场疫情的中心。7.At that time, MSF and the treatment center there, they were seeing dozens of patients every single day, and these patients, these communities were becoming more and more terrified 那时，驻扎在那里的无国界医生组织和治疗中心， 每天都要见到数十位病人， 而这些病人，这些社区在变得愈发恐惧，8.as time went by, with this disease and what it was doing to their families, to their communities, to their children, to their relatives. 随着时间流逝，这场疾病给他们的家人带来了灭顶之灾， 还有他们的社区，他们的孩子，以及他们的亲戚。9.And so Peter Clement was charged with driving that 12-hour-long rough road from Monrovia, the capital, up to Lofa County, to try and help bring control to the escalating epidemic there. 因此彼特?克莱蒙德卯足了劲，在颠簸的公路上开了12个小时， 从利比理亚首都蒙洛威尔开到了洛法镇， 他要试着帮助控制正在此逐渐蔓延的疫情。10.And what Peter found when he arrived was the ter
