今天英國(guó)《太陽報(bào)》 刊登了一封據(jù)說是比爾蓋茨的公開信（不知道真假，有人說不是他寫的）超歌，這封信得到極大關(guān)注砍艾，得到很多人轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)，人們稱他是真正的智者巍举，并有人第一時(shí)間就把他的公開信翻譯成中文脆荷。下面是這封信的原文。
"I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us.
我堅(jiān)信發(fā)生的每一件事后面都有一個(gè)精神層面的目的懊悯，無論我們認(rèn)為是好還是壞蜓谋。
當(dāng)我沉思時(shí)，我想與大家分享我的心得炭分，新冠病毒究竟對(duì)我們做了些什么桃焕。
1
It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me, just ask Tom Hanks.
病毒提醒我們，人都是平等的捧毛，無論我們的文化观堂、宗教、職業(yè)岖妄、經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況型将，或是一個(gè)人有多么出名。在病毒眼中我們都是平等的荐虐，也許我們也應(yīng)該平等對(duì)待他人七兜。如果你不相信我的話，那就去問湯姆·漢克斯福扬。
2
It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.
病毒提醒我們腕铸，我們的命運(yùn)都是聯(lián)在一起的，影響一個(gè)人的事情同時(shí)也會(huì)影響另一個(gè)人铛碑。病毒也提醒我們狠裹，我們建立的虛假國(guó)境線毫無價(jià)值，因?yàn)椴《静⒉恍枰o(hù)照汽烦。病毒還提醒我們涛菠，雖然我們暫時(shí)受到壓迫，世界上還有人一生都受到壓迫。
3
It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.
病毒提醒我們俗冻，健康多么珍貴礁叔。而我們卻忽視健康，吃垃圾食品迄薄，喝被各種化學(xué)品污染的水琅关，如果我們不照顧自己，我們當(dāng)然就會(huì)生病讥蔽。
4
It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.
病毒提醒我們涣易，生命苦短，什么是我們應(yīng)該做的最重要的事情冶伞，特別是那些已經(jīng)生病的老年人新症。人生在世的目的不是買一卷卷的廁紙。
5
It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.
病毒提醒我們碰缔，我們的社會(huì)已經(jīng)變得物質(zhì)至上账劲，當(dāng)我們遇到困難時(shí)，我們才想起我們的基本需求是食物金抡、飲水和藥品，而不是并沒有什么價(jià)值的奢侈品腌且。
6
It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.
病毒提醒我們梗肝，家庭是如何重要，但我們卻忽視了這一點(diǎn)铺董。病毒強(qiáng)迫我們回到我們的房子里巫击，所以我們可以把房子建成家庭，并建立牢固的家庭紐帶精续。
7
It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do. Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.
病毒提醒我們坝锰，我們真正的工作并不是我們打的那份工，我們固然需要打工重付，然而上帝創(chuàng)造我們的目的并不是讓我們打工顷级。我們真正的工作是互相照顧、互相保護(hù)确垫、互助互利
8
It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.
病毒提醒我們弓颈，我們不能妄自尊大。病毒還提醒我們删掀，無論你覺得自己多偉大翔冀，也無論別人覺得你多么偉大，一個(gè)小小的病毒就能讓整個(gè)世界停擺披泪。
9
It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colours.
病毒提醒我們纤子，自由掌握在我們自己手中。我們可以選擇合作互助、分享控硼、付出泽论、互相支持星掰，或者我們也可以選擇自私妒御、囤積和自顧自。只有在困難的時(shí)候才能看出一個(gè)人的真面目吆倦。
10
It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.
病毒提醒我們说订，我們既可以耐心抄瓦，也可以恐慌。我們既可以理解這種情況在歷史上已經(jīng)發(fā)生過多次陶冷，但最后都過去了钙姊，我們也可以恐慌，以為世界末日到了埂伦，結(jié)果傷害了我們自己煞额。
11
It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.
病毒提醒我們，疫情既是結(jié)束也是開始沾谜。我們現(xiàn)在可以反省和理解膊毁，從錯(cuò)誤里吸取教訓(xùn)。疫情也可以是一個(gè)輪回的開始基跑，而且還會(huì)繼續(xù)下去婚温，直至我們吸取教訓(xùn)為止。
12
It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.
病毒提醒我們媳否，我們的地球病了栅螟。病毒還提醒我們，我們必須看到森林消失的速度篱竭，也必須看到一卷卷廁紙從貨架上消失的速度力图。我們都病了，因?yàn)槲覀兊募彝ゲ×恕?/p>
13
It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.
病毒提醒我們掺逼，困難總會(huì)過去吃媒，然后就容易了。生活是周期性的坪圾，現(xiàn)在只是周期里的一個(gè)階段晓折。我們不必恐慌，疫情一定會(huì)過去兽泄。
14
Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a *great corrector*. It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.
許多人認(rèn)為新冠病毒的疫情是一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難漓概，但我覺得這是一次“偉大的糾錯(cuò)”。它是為了提醒我們我們似乎已經(jīng)忘記了的重要教訓(xùn)病梢，是否再次吸取教訓(xùn)取決于我們自己胃珍。
