当我向媒体道出已准备好的发言时,我谈到索韦托的经历对我而言是一个里程碑,我们所面临的重大决定是科技是否会让发展中国家落后。这也便是要缩小差距。
But as I read those words, I knew they weren't super relevant. What I didn't say was, by the way, we're not focused on the fact that half a million people on this continent are dying every year from malaria. But we are sure as hell going to bring you computers.
但当我说出这些词时,我发现他们并不是如此相关。我没有说的是,“顺便说一下,我们并没有注意到这个大洲上每年都会有50万人死于疟疾的事实。”但我们还是万分确信我们会为他们带来计算机。
Before I went to Soweto, I thought I understood the world's problems but I was blind to many of the most important ones. I was so taken aback by what I saw that I had to ask myself, did I still believe that innovation could solve the world's toughest problems? I promised myself that before I came back to Africa, I would find out more about what keeps people poor.
在我去索韦托之前,我认为自己很理解这个世界存在的问题,可那时我才明白我忽视了最重要的问题,我不停问自己‘你还认为创新能解决世界上最棘手的问题吗?’我向自己保证,在重回非洲之前,会找到更多让人们贫穷的原因。
Over the years, Melinda and I did learn more about the pressing needs of the poor.
