We were shocked. We had assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save them. But it did not. For under a dollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren't being delivered.
我们震惊了。我们假设几百万儿童正在死亡线上挣扎，然而他们是可以挽救的，那么世界理应将运送药物来拯救他们作为头等大事。但是事实并非如此。由于没有实施干预政策，那些价格还不到一美元的救命的药剂，并没有送到他们的手中。
If you believe that every life has equal value, it's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not. We said to ourselves: "This can't be true. But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving."
如果你相信生命都是平等的，那么当你发现某些生命被认为值得挽救，而另一些生命则不然，你会感到无法接受。我们对自己说：“事情不可能是这样的。如果这是真的，那么它理应是我们努力的头等大事。”
