Last winter our lab asked why a common shot failed.去年冬天,我们的「实验室」想弄清为什么一支常见的针剂没有效果。 A mutation may help a virus hide from an antibody.「突变」也许能帮病毒躲开「抗体」。 We randomly chose blood samples and began to randomize them into groups.我们「随机地」挑选血样,并开始把它们「随机分组」。 A fine aerosol hung in the air, and a metal plate began to oxidize.空气里悬着细微的「气溶胶」,一块金属板开始「氧化」。

A machine fired a proton beam at a metal plate.一台机器朝一块金属板发射「质子」束。 That beam worked as a vector, carrying energy inside.那束光充当「载体」,把能量送进里面。 A screen showed the amplitude of every pulse, and I watched the line change.一块软屏显示每个脉冲的「振幅」,我看着那条线变化。 When the numbers were congruent, the machine stayed quiet.当数字「一致」时,机器保持安静。

One day a patient came in with abdominal pain and a gray face.有一天,一位病人来了,他「腹部的」疼痛很厉害,脸色灰暗。 We did not treat him as a number, so he joined by volition.我们没有把他当成一个编号,于是他出于「意志」加入了我们。 Later we found a rare antibody in his blood.后来我们在他的血里发现了一种少见的「抗体」。

This work is not about fame but about small steps.这项工作不为名声,而是为了那些细小的步骤。 A mutation is not always a threat, and a random test can teach us a lot.「突变」并不总是威胁,一次「随机」的测试也能教给我们很多。 I keep the paper list on my desk, because every name means a person.我把那张纸单留在桌上,因为上面每一个名字都意味着一个人。
