But if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers; you have to convey the human impact of the work-so people can feel what saving a life means to the families affected.
但是，如果你想激勵其他人參加你的項目，你需要拿出的就遠不止一些統計數字了；你必須展示你的項目的人性影響，這樣其他人就會感到拯救一個生命，對那些處在困境中的家庭到底意味著什么。
I remember going to the World Economic Forum some years back and sitting on a global health panel that was discussing ways to save millions of lives. Millions! Think of the thrill of you can save just one person's life-then multiply that by millions... Yet this was the most boring panel I've ever been on ever. So boring even I couldn't bear it.
幾年前，我去世界經濟論壇旁聽一個全球健康問題論壇，會議的內容是關于如何拯救幾百萬個生命。幾百萬！想一想吧，拯救一個人的生命已經讓人何等激動——現在你要把這種激動再乘上幾百萬倍……但是，這是我參加過的最乏味的論壇，乏味到我無法強迫自己聽下去。
What made that experience especially striking was that I had just come from an event where we were introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shouting with excitement. I love getting people excited about software-but why can't we generate even more excitement for saving lives?
那次經歷之所以讓我難忘，是因為之前我們剛剛發布了一個軟件的第13個版本，我們讓觀眾激動得跳了起來并喊出了聲。我喜歡人們因為軟件而感到激動——那么我們為什么不能夠讓人們因為能夠拯救生命而感到更加激動呢？
You can't get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the impact. The way to do that is another complex question.
除非你能夠讓人們看到或者感受到那種影響，否則你無法讓人們激動。如何做到這一點，并不是一件簡單的事。
