Today, some developing countries in Africa, Asia and South America stand at a crossroads.
今天，非洲、亞洲和南美洲的一些發展中國家正處于關鍵時刻。
While they are seeing great development, they are still poorer than many countries in other parts of the world,
當前它們正經理巨大的發展，但同時它們依然比世界上很多其他國家要貧窮，
and there is a danger that they could fall further behind developed countries.

They need help, but the sad truth is that merely sending loaves of bread is not enough

There is a saying that goes "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a his life."
有句俗語是這樣說的：“授人以魚，三餐之需；授人以漁，終生之用。”
In order to find a permanent solution to this long-term problem, countries need to develop so that they can either grow the food they need, or having enough money to buy this food on the world market.

What developing countries really need to do is to stop poverty by fighting the causes of it.

One way to help a country develop is to improve it's infrastructure.

The infrastructure of a country is what makes everything run well, and it includes things like transport, irrigation, electricity, telephones and schools.
一國的基礎設施就是讓一切良好運作的設施，包括交通、灌溉、電力、電話和學校等。
These things provide a framework for new jobs to be created, allowing people to help themselves so that they no longer need to depend on others.
這些事業如果發展起來，就會為人們創造就業機會，使得他們可以幫助自己而不用依賴他人。
