A love letter to realism in a time of grief | Mark Pollock and Simone George

譯者: Lilian Chiu 審譯者: Helen Chang

Simone George: I met Mark when he was just blind.

席夢喬治：我遇見 馬克時，他剛失明。

I had returned home to live in Dublin

我當時是要返鄉在都柏林定居，

after the odyssey that was my 20s,

在那之前我長途飄泊， 那是我二十多歲時，

educating my interest in human rights and equality in university,

在學校我接受的教育 是我感興趣的人權及平等，

traveling the world, like my nomad grandmother.

我也像我的遊牧民族 祖母一樣，行遍世界。

And during a two-year stint working in Madrid,

在馬德里工作的兩年期間，

dancing many nights till morning in salsa clubs.

許多夜晚我都在騷沙俱樂部 跳舞跳到早上。

When I met Mark, he asked me to teach him to dance.

當我遇到馬克時，他要我教他跳舞。

And I did.

我教了。

They were wonderful times, long nights talking,

那些時光很快樂，在夜晚長談，

becoming friends and eventually falling for each other.

我們變成朋友，最終愛上彼此。

Mark had lost his sight when he was 22,

馬克在他二十二歲時失明，

and the man that I met eight years later was rebuilding his identity,

我在八年之後遇到他， 他那時正在重建他的身分，

the cornerstone of which was this incredible spirit

身分的基石， 就是這了不起的精神，

that had taken him to the Gobi Desert, where he ran six marathons in seven days.

這股精神帶他到戈壁沙漠， 在七天之內跑了六場馬拉松。

And to marathons at the North Pole, and from Everest Base Camp.

他還跑了北極馬拉松 和從聖母峰登山基地開跑的馬拉松。

When I asked him what had led to this high-octane life,

我問他，是什麼讓他的生活 過得這麼精力旺盛？

he quoted Nietzsche:

他引用尼采的話：

"He, who has a Why to live, can bear with almost any How."

「人只要參透為何而活， 即能承受幾乎任何煎熬。」

He had come across the quote in a really beautiful book

他在一本很美好的書中 看到這句引述，

called "Man's Search for Meaning," by Viktor Frankl,

書名叫《活出意義來》， 作者是弗蘭克，

a neurologist and psychiatrist

他是位神經學家和精神病學家，

who survived years in a Nazi concentration camp.

在納粹集中營中度過 很多年並存活下來。

Frankl used this Nietzsche quote to explain to us

弗蘭克引用尼采的這句話 來跟讀者解釋

that when we can no longer change our circumstances,

當我們無法再改變我們的處境時，

we are challenged to change ourselves.

我們可以挑戰去改變我們自己。

Mark Pollock: Eventually, I did rebuild my identity,

馬克帕洛克：最終， 我確實重建了我的身分，

and the Why for me was about competing again,

對我來說，我的「為何而活」 是要能夠再次競爭，

because pursuing success and risking failure

因為追求成功和冒著失敗的風險，

was simply how I felt normal.

就是讓我感覺正常的方式。

And I finished the rebuild

我完成重建的時候，

on the 10th anniversary of losing my sight.

是我失明的十週年。

I took part in a 43-day expedition race

我參加了一場 43 天的探險越野賽，

in the coldest, most remote, most challenging place on earth.

地點在地球上最冷、最偏遠、 最有挑戰性的地方。

It was the first race to the South Pole

這是一百年前謝克頓、 史考特和亞曼森

since Shackleton, Scott and Amundsen set foot in Antarctica, 100 years before.

登上南極洲之後的 第一場南極賽事。

And putting the demons of blindness behind me

隨著朝地極邁進的每一步，

with every step towards the pole,

我把失明的惡魔拋在身後，

it offered me a long-lasting sense of contentment.

這場比賽給了我很持久的滿足感。

As it turned out, I would need that in reserve,

結果發現，我的確 需要儲備著那滿足感，

because one year after my return,

因為在我返回一年後，

in, arguably, the safest place on earth,

在可以說是地球上最安全的地方，

a bedroom at a friend's house,

一個朋友家中的臥室裡，

I fell from a third-story window onto the concrete below.

我從三樓高的窗戶 摔落到下面的水泥地上。

I don't know how it happened.

我不知道是怎麼發生的。

I think I must have got up to go to the bathroom.

我想我應該是起床要去上廁所。

And because I'm blind, I used to run my hand along the wall

因為我看不見，我以前都會

用手扶著牆壁來找到路。

to find my way.

That night, my hand found an open space where the closed window should have been.

那晚，我摸到了一個開放空間， 那裡本來應該是關閉的窗戶。

And I cartwheeled out.

我側翻摔出去。

My friends who found me thought I was dead.

我朋友發現我時，以為我死了。

When I got to hospital, the doctors thought I was going to die,

當我被送到醫院時， 醫生以為我死定了，

and when I realized what was happening to me,

當我知道我發生了什麼事之後，

I thought that dying might have been ...

我以為死亡可能會是…

might have been the best outcome.

可能會是最好的結果。

And lying in intensive care,

躺在加護病房中，

facing the prospect of being blind and paralyzed,

面對著將來可能既失明又癱瘓，

high on morphine, I was trying to make sense of what was going on.

加上高劑量的嗎啡，我試著 為發生的事找出合理的理由。

And one night, lying flat on my back,

有天晚上，我平躺著。

I felt for my phone to write a blog,

我用手摸找我的手機，

想要寫篇網誌，

trying to explain how I should respond.

試圖解釋我應該要如何反應。

It was called "Optimist, Realist or Something Else?"

文章名稱做「樂觀主義者、 現實主義者，或其他？」

and it drew on the experiences of Admiral Stockdale,

文章用到了史托迪爾上將的經驗，

who was a POW in the Vietnam war.

他是越戰時的戰俘。

He was incarcerated, tortured, for over seven years.

他遭到監禁、刑求，長達七年。

His circumstances were bleak, but he survived.

他的處境毫無希望，但他存活下來。

The ones who didn't survive were the optimists.

樂觀主義者反而沒有存活下來。

They said, "We'll be out by Christmas,"

他們說：「到聖誕節 我們就能出去了。」

and Christmas would come and Christmas would go,

然後聖誕節來了，聖誕節過了，

and then it would be Christmas again,

下一個聖誕節又來了，

and when they didn't get out, they became disappointed, demoralized

當他們沒有真的出去時， 他們變得很失望、洩氣，

and many of them died in their cells.

當中很多人都死在牢房當中。

Stockdale was a realist.

史托迪爾是現實主義者。

He was inspired by the stoic philosophers,

他的啟發來自堅忍的哲學家，

and he confronted the brutal facts of his circumstances

他正視自己處境的殘酷事實，

while maintaining a faith that he would prevail in the end.

同時保持信念，相信他最終會獲勝。

And in that blog, I was trying to apply his thinking as a realist

在那篇網誌中，我試著 把他的現實主義者思想

to my increasingly bleak circumstances.

應用到我越來越沒希望的處境上。

During the many months of heart infections and kidney infections

我跌落之後，有好幾個月的時間，

我心臟感染、腎臟感染， 在生死邊緣掙扎，

after my fall, at the very edge of survival,

Simone and I faced the fundamental question:

我和席夢面臨了一個很重要的問題：

How do you resolve the tension between acceptance and hope?

如何消除接受和希望間的緊繃關係？

And it's that that we want to explore with you now.

這就是我們想要與各位 一同探究的主題。

SG: After I got the call, I caught the first flight to England

席：我接到電話之後， 立刻搭上第一班飛機飛往英國，

and arrived into the brightly lit intensive care ward,

抵到了燈火通明的加護病房，

where Mark was lying naked, just under a sheet,

馬克裸身躺著，僅蓋著一張薄床單，

connected to machines that were monitoring if he would live.

機器接在他身上， 監控他是否還活著。

I said, "I'm here, Mark."

我說：「我來了，馬克。」

And he cried tears he seemed to have saved just for me.

他流下眼淚，彷彿 那些眼淚是為我保留的。

I wanted to gather him in my arms, but I couldn't move him,

我好想擁抱他，但我不能去動他，

and so I kissed him the way you kiss a newborn baby,

所以我用親吻新生寶寶的方式吻他，

terrified of their fragility.

怕傷了脆弱的他們。

Later that afternoon, when the bad news had been laid out for us --

當天下午晚些時候， 我們聽到了壞消息：

fractured skull, bleeds on his brain, a possible torn aorta

頭骨破裂、腦出血， 可能還有主動脈破裂，

and a spine broken in two places, no movement or feeling below his waist --

脊椎也有兩處斷裂，

腰部以下沒有感覺，也無法動作。

Mark said to me, "Come here.

馬克對我說：「過來這裡。

You need to get yourself as far away from this as possible."

你得要讓你自己 盡可能遠離這件事。」

As I tried to process what he was saying,

我試圖想通他在說什麼。

I was thinking, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

我心想：「你是怎麼搞的？」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

"We can't do this now."

「我們現在不能這樣。」

So I asked him, "Are you breaking up with me?"

所以，我問他： 「你是要和我分手嗎？」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

And he said, "Look, you signed up for the blindness, but not this."

他說：「聽著，你選擇接受的是 失明的我，但不是這種狀況。」

And I answered, "We don't even know what this is,

我回答：「我們甚至 還不知道這是什麼狀況，

but what I do know is what I can't handle right now

但我知道當我所愛的人 還在加護病房時，

is a breakup while someone I love is in intensive care."

我無法處理分手這種事。」

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

So I called on my negotiation skills and suggested we make a deal.

所以，我使出談判技巧， 建議我們做個約定。

I said, "I will stay with you as long as you need me,

我說：「只要你還需要我， 我就會陪著你，

as long as your back needs me.

只要你背部的復原還需要我。

And when you no longer need me, then we talk about our relationship."

當你不再需要我時， 我們再來談我們的關係。」

Like a contract with the possibility to renew in six months.

這就像一份合約， 很可能每六個月就會更新。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

He agreed and I stayed.

他同意了，而我留下了。

In fact, I refused to go home even to pack a bag, I slept by his bed,

事實上，我甚至拒絕回家打包 一些東西過來，我就睡在他床邊，

when he could eat, I made all his food,

在他能進食時， 他的食物都是我做的，

and we cried, one or other or both of us together, every day.

我們每天都會哭，有時他哭， 有時我哭，有時我們一起哭。

I made all the complicated decisions with the doctors,

我和醫生一起做所有複雜的決定，

I climbed right into that raging river over rapids that was sweeping Mark along.

我攀進那條一路沖向馬克的 洶湧河流當中。

And at the first bend in that river, Mark's surgeon told us

在那條河流的第一個彎處， 馬克的外科醫生告訴我們，

what movement and feeling he doesn't get back in the first 12 weeks,

若馬克在前十二週之內 無法恢復的動作和感覺，

he's unlikely to get back at all.

將來就可能再也無法恢復了。

So, sitting by his bed, I began to research why,

所以，我坐在他的床邊， 開始研究為什麼

after this period they call spinal shock,

在這個所謂的「脊髓損傷」期之後，

there's no recovery, there's no therapy, there's no cure, there's no hope.

就沒有恢復、沒有治療、 沒有痊癒、沒有希望。

And the internet became this portal to a magical other world.

網際網路變成了通往 另一個魔法世界的入口。

I emailed scientists,

我寫電子郵件給科學家，

and they broke through paywalls

他們打破了付費牆，

and sent me their medical journal and science journal articles directly.

直接把醫學期刊 和科學期刊的文章寄給我。

I read everything that "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve had achieved,

我讀了和《超人》演員 克里斯多夫李維

落馬之後辦到的事有關的所有資訊，

after a fall from a horse

left him paralyzed from the neck down and ventilated.

落馬意外讓他頸部以下癱瘓並氣切。

Christopher had broken this 12-week spell;

克里斯多夫打破了這十二週的魔咒；

he had regained some movement and feeling years after his accident.

在他的意外之後數年， 他恢復了一些動作和感覺。

He dreamed of a world of empty wheelchairs.

他夢想不使用輪椅的世界。

And Christopher and the scientists he worked with fueled us with hope.

克里斯多夫和他合作的科學家 讓我們充滿希望。

MP: You see, spinal cord injury

馬：要知道脊髓損傷直接命中靶心，

strikes at the very heart of what it means to be human.

攻擊人生而為人的意義。

And it had turned me from my upright, standing, running form,

它把我從直挺挺站立、跑步的形式

into a seated compromise of myself.

轉變成以坐姿妥協的我。

And it's not just the lack of feeling and movement.

癱瘓不只是少了感覺和動作。

Paralysis also interferes with the body's internal systems,

癱瘓也會影響到身體的內在系統，

which are designed to keep us alive.

目的是要維生的系統。

Multiple infections, nerve pain, spasms, shortened life spans are common.

多重感染、神經痛、痙攣、 生命縮短都很常見，

And these are the things that exhaust even the most determined

這些甚至使全世界六千萬癱瘓者 當中最堅定的人精疲力盡。

of the 60 million people around the world who are paralyzed.

Over 16 months in hospital,

在醫院待了十六個月，

Simone and I were presented with the expert view

我和席夢得到的專家看法是： 已有證明顯示，

that hoping for a cure had proven to be psychologically damaging.

「希望能痊癒」會造成心理上的傷害。

It was like the formal medical system was canceling hope

就好像正式的醫療體制

就只取消希望，讓病人認命。

in favor of acceptance alone.

But canceling hope ran contrary to everything that we believed in.

但取消希望完全違背了 我們所相信的一切。

Yes, up to this point in history,

是的，在歷史上，一直到這個時點，

it had proven to be impossible to find a cure for paralysis,

已經證明癱瘓是無解的，

but history is filled with the kinds of the impossible made possible

但歷史上也有非常多的不可能，

透過人類的努力，變成可能。

through human endeavor.

The kind of human endeavor that took explorers to the South Pole

在上個世紀末，正是那種人類的努力

讓探險家到南極去的那種努力。

at the start of the last century.

And the kind of human endeavor

那種人類的努力，

that will take adventurers to Mars in the early part of this century.

將能夠在這個世紀前期 把冒險家帶到火星上。

So we started asking,

所以，我們開始問：

"Why can't that same human endeavor cure paralysis in our lifetime?"

「為什麼同樣的人類努力無法 治癒我們人生中的癱瘓？」

SG: Well, we really believed that it can.

席：我們真心相信是可以的。

My research taught us

我的研究告訴我們，

that we needed to remind Mark's damaged and dormant spinal cord

我們得要提醒馬克 那受損且休眠的脊髓

of its upright, standing, running form,

它原本直挺挺站立、跑步的形式，

and we found San Francisco-based engineers at Ekso Bionics,

我們找上了舊金山 Ekso Bionics 公司的工程師，

who created this robotic exoskeleton that would allow Mark to stand and walk

在我們開始建造的都柏林實驗室中

in the lab that we started to build in Dublin.

打造了這套機械外骨骼， 讓馬克可以站立和行走。

Mark became the first person to personally own an exo,

馬克成了第一個擁有外骨骼的個人，

and since then, he and the robot have walked over one million steps.

從那之後，他和機器人 已經走了超過一百萬步。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

It was bit of an early celebration, because actually it wasn't enough,

慶祝還太早了些，因為那樣並不夠，

the robot was doing all of the work,

一切都是靠機器人在做，

so we needed to plug Mark in.

我們得要把馬克接上去。

So we connected the San Francisco engineers

所以我們連結舊金山的工程師

with a true visionary in UCLA, Dr. Reggie Edgerton,

和真正有遠見的 加大洛杉磯分校雷吉艾傑頓博士，

the most beautiful man

他是最美好的人，

and his team's life work had resulted in a scientific breakthrough.

他的團隊投入一生的成果， 帶來了科學上的突破。

Using electrical stimulation of the spinal cord,

用脊髓的電刺激，

a number of subjects have been able to stand,

許多受測對象已經能夠站立，

and because of that, regain some movement and feeling

也因此能恢復一些動作和感覺，

and most importantly,

最重要的是，

to regain some of the body's internal functions

也恢復了身體的一些內部功能，

that are designed to keep us alive and to make that life a pleasure.

用來維生並讓人生 成為一種樂事的功能。

Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord,

我們認為，對脊髓做電刺激

we think, is the first meaningful therapy ever for paralyzed people.

對癱瘓者而言 是第一個有意義的治療法。

Now, of course, the San Francisco engineers

當然，舊金山的工程師

and the scientists in UCLA

及加州大學洛杉磯分校的科學家

knew about each other, knew about each other's work.

知道彼此，也知道彼此在做的研究。

But as so often happens

但常常發生的狀況是，

when we're busy creating groundbreaking scientific research,

當我們忙著

創造突破性的科學研究時，

they hadn't quite yet got together.

他們尚未湊在一起。

That seemed to be our job now.

現在，這似乎就是我們的工作了。

So we created our first collaboration,

所以我們促成了第一次的合作，

and the moment when we combined

在我們結合了馬克的 脊髓電刺激的那一刻，

the electrical stimulation of Mark's spinal cord,

as he walked in his robotic exoskeleton,

當他用他的機械外骨骼來行走時，

was like that moment when Iron Man plugs the mini arc reactor into his chest

就好像鋼鐵人裝上了 胸口的迷你反應爐的時刻，

and suddenly he and his suit become something else altogether.

突然間他和鋼鐵裝 一起變成另一種東西。

MP: Simone, my robot and I moved into the lab at UCLA for three months.

馬：席夢、我的機器人，和我

一起搬入加州大學 洛杉磯分校的實驗室三個月。

And every day, Reggie and his team

每天，雷吉和他的團隊

put electrodes onto the skin on my lower back,

會把電極連結到我下背的皮膚上，

pushed electricity into my spinal cord to excite my nervous system,

將電送入我的脊髓中， 刺激我的神經系統，

as I walked in my exo.

同時我則用我的外骨骼來走路。

And for the first time since I was paralyzed,

那是我癱瘓之後第一次

I could feel my legs underneath me.

能夠感受到我下半身的雙腳。

Not normally --

通常是感受不到的——

(Applause)

（掌聲）

Thank you.

謝謝你們。

(Applause)

（掌聲）

It wasn't a normal feeling, but with the stimulator turned on,

那不是一般的感覺， 但當刺激器開啟，

upright in my exo, my legs felt substantial.

我的外骨骼直立起來時， 我的雙腳感覺很實在。

I could feel the meat of my muscles on the bones of my legs,

我能夠感覺到我的腿骨 上面有我的肌肉，

and as I walked, because of the stimulation,

當我行走時，因為那刺激，

I was able to voluntarily move my paralyzed legs.

我能夠自主地移動我癱瘓的雙腳。

And as I did more, the robot intelligently did less.

當我能夠做更多時 機器人就很智慧地配合少做。

My heart rate got a normal running, training zone

我的心跳率很正常，在每分鐘

140~160 下的訓練區間，

of 140 to 160 beats per minute,

and my muscles, which had almost entirely disappeared,

我本已幾乎全都消失的肌肉

started to come back.

也漸漸長回來了。

And during some standard testing throughout the process,

在過程中做的標準測試，

flat on my back,

我平躺著，

twelve weeks, six months and three whole years

我從窗戶跌落並癱瘓之後

after I fell out that window and became paralyzed,

十二週、六個月、整整三年過了。

the scientists turned the stimulator on

科學家啟動刺激，

and I pulled my knee to my chest.

我把膝蓋拉向胸口。

(Video) Man: OK, start, go, go, go, go, go.

（影片）男子：好，開始， 來，來，來，來。

Good, good, good.

很好，很好，很好。

SG: Yeah, yeah, go on, Mark, go on, go, go, go, go, go, wow!

席：對，對，繼續，馬克， 繼續，來，來，來，來，哇！

(Applause)

（掌聲）

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

SG: Well done!

席：做得好！

(Applause)

（掌聲）

MP: Do you know, this week, I've been saying to Simone,

馬：你們知道嗎， 這週我一直對席夢說，

if we could forget about the paralysis,

如果我們能夠忘了癱瘓這件事，

you know, the last few years have been incredibly exciting.

那麼過去幾年真是非常讓人興奮。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

Now, the problem is, we can't quite forget about the paralysis just yet.

問題是，我們還不太能夠 忘記癱瘓這件事。

And clearly, we're not finished,

顯然我們還沒結束，

because when we left that pilot study and went back to Dublin,

因為當我們離開那試驗性研究，

回都柏林，我坐著輪椅回家，

I rolled home in my wheelchair

and I'm still paralyzed and I'm still blind

我仍然癱瘓、失明。

and we're primarily focusing on the paralysis at the moment,

那時我們主要把焦點放在癱瘓上，

but being at this conference,

但在這場大會上，

we're kind of interested if anyone does have a cure for blindness,

我們還蠻想知道有沒有人 會有辦法治癒失明，

we'll take that as well.

那我們也想要。

(Laughter)

（笑聲）

(Applause)

（掌聲）

But if you remember the blog that I mentioned,

但，如果你們還記得 我提到的那篇網誌，

it posed a question of how we should respond,

它提出一個問題：我們該如何反應，

optimist, realist or something else?

樂觀主義者、現實主義者，或其他？

And I think we have come to understand that the optimists rely on hope alone

我想，我們漸漸了解到 樂觀主義者只仰賴希望，

and they risk being disappointed and demoralized.

他們要冒的風險就是失望和洩氣。

The realists, on the other hand,

另一方面，現實主義者

they accept the brutal facts and they keep hope alive, as well.

接受殘酷的事實，同時仍保有希望。

The realists have managed to resolve the tension between acceptance and hope

現實主義者有辦法消除 在接受和希望之間的緊繃關係，

by running them in parallel.

做法就是讓兩者平行進行。

And that's what Simone and I have been trying to do

在過去幾年間，

我和席夢也一直在試著這麼做。

over the last number of years.

Look, I accept the wheelchair --

我接受輪椅——

I mean, it's almost impossible not to.

我的意思是，幾乎不可能不接受。

And we're sad, sometimes, for what we've lost.

有時，對於我們所失去的， 我們會感到悲傷。

I accept that I, and other wheelchair users, can and do live fulfilling lives,

我能接受我和其他輪椅使用者 能夠且確實過著滿足的生活，

despite the nerve pain and the spasms and the infections

儘管要承受神經痛、痙攣、感染，

and the shortened life spans.

以及縮短的壽命。

And I accept that it is way more difficult

我也接受對於從脖子以下 癱瘓的人來說，一切都更困難。

for people who are paralyzed from the neck down.

For those who rely on ventilators to breathe,

還有要靠呼吸器呼吸的人、

and for those who don't have access to adequate, free health care.

以及無法取得適當、 免費健康照護的人。

So, that is why we also hope for another life.

那是為什麼我們也希望有另一人生，

A life where we have created a cure through collaboration.

那個我們透過合作創造療法的人生。

A cure that we are actively working to release from university labs

我們很主動努力想要

從全世界各大學實驗室釋出的療法，

around the world

and share with everyone who needs it.

並想要和任何需要的人分享。

SG: I met Mark when he was just blind.

席：我遇見馬克時，他剛失明。

He asked me to teach him to dance, and I did.

他要我教他跳舞，而我教了。

One night, after dance classes,

有一天晚上，在舞蹈課後，

I turned to say goodnight to him at his front door,

在他家門前，我轉身向他說晚安，

and to his gorgeous guide dog, Larry.

也跟他那隻很棒的 導盲犬賴瑞說晚安。

I realized, that in switching all the lights off in the apartment

我知道，在我離開之前 關掉公寓內的所有燈光

before I left,

that I was leaving him in the dark.

就是把他丟在黑暗中。

I burst into uncontrollable tears and tried to hide it, but he knew.

我無法控制地突然哭起來，

我試著隱藏，但他知道。

And he hugged me and said,

他擁抱了我，說： 「啊，可憐的席夢。

"Ah, poor Simone.

You're back in 1998, when I went blind.

你回到了 1998 年， 我失明的時候。

Don't worry, it turns out OK in the end."

別擔心，最後結果是沒事的。」

Acceptance is knowing that grief is a raging river.

接受就是知道那哀慟是一條怒河。

And you have to get into it.

你得要踏進河裡。

Because when you do, it carries you to the next place.

因為當你這麼做時， 它就會帶你到下一個地方。

It eventually takes you to open land,

它最終會帶你到一片開放的大地，

somewhere where it will turn out OK in the end.

在那裡，最終，一切都會沒事的。

And it truly has been a love story,

這真的是個愛情故事，

an expansive, abundant, deeply satisfying kind of love

廣闊、豐富、深深滿足的那種愛，

for our fellow humans and everyone in this act of creation.

給我們的人類同胞 及這創造行為中的每個人。

Science is love.

科學是愛。

我們在這領域遇到的每個人

Everyone we've met in this field

just wants to get their work from the bench and into people's lives.

都只想把他們的研究從工作台上 推進到人們的生命當中。

And it's our job to help them to do that.

而我們的工作就是協助他們做到。

Because when we do, we and everyone with us

因為當我們這麼做時，

我們以及在這創造行為中 我們身邊的每個人

in this act of creation

will be able to say,

都將能夠說：

"We did it.

「我們辦到了。接著我們跳舞。」

And then we danced."
