“Einstein wrote, ‘Striving for social justice is the most valuable thing to do in life.’”
“爱因斯坦曾写道，‘为了社会公平而奋斗是生命中最有价值的事情。’“
Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2009 to earlier this year. Frieden addressed the graduating class of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine here in New York City May 23rd, 2017.
自2009年至今年上半年，汤姆·弗里登担任疾病控制与预防中心的主任。2017年5月23日，弗里登在纽约城爱因斯坦医学院为毕业班做了一次演讲。
“Scientific rigor and social conscience don’t always go together. Some individuals and some institutions may lack one, the other or both. But together they are a remarkably powerful combination. And we need them both. Because we face some real threats. We face threats from nature-whether it’s the next Ebola or Zika or SARS or pandemic influenza or HIV, it is just a few mutations away.
”科学上的严谨和社会道德并不总是同时存在。一些个人和机构可能会缺失其一或两者皆失。但是这两种品质一起将会形成相当强有力的结合，而我们需要这两者，鉴于我们面临着一些真正的威胁。我们面临来自自然的威胁，仅仅可能因为一些突变，我们就可能会面临下一个埃博拉、寨卡、非典型肺炎（SARS）、大型流感或艾滋病（HIV）。
“We face threats, frankly, from killer industries, tobacco and other unhealthy and addictive substances. And we face threats from policy makers, who may deny quality medical care and prevention to millions of people in this country and around the world…We’re also faced with the threat that America could retreat from or undermine our role in the world.
“我们还面临着来自杀人产业的威胁，比如烟草和其他不健康且致瘾的物质。我们也面临着来自政治家的威胁，他们可能会拒绝给予这个国家数百万人乃至全世界的人接受优质医疗护理和预防的权利。我们也面临着美国可能退缩或破坏我们世界地位的威胁
“Einstein wrote that ‘Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.’ I’m confident that with your commitment to caring for patients, to advancing knowledge, to social justice, you will help prevent and stop the threat of that infantile disease. Every single one of us has that responsibility.”
”爱因斯坦写道‘民族主义是一种幼儿疾病，它是人类的麻疹。’我很确信有了你们对病人的付出，对知识的探究，对社会公平的维护，你们能够帮助阻止这个幼儿疾病的威胁。我们每个人都有这个职责。“
