ill简单

Five years ago, at summer’s end, Andrew Fusek Peters was diagnosed with bowel cancer. “I was waiting for surgery, feeling really ill, sitting in my garden. It was amazing weather and there were painted lady butterflies everywhere,” he says. “They were a symbol of fragile life, of hope and defiance, and something appealed to my soul.”

五年前的夏末，安德鲁·富塞克·彼得斯被诊断出患有肠癌。“我在等待手术，感觉非常难受，坐在我的花园里。天气好极了，到处都是小红蛱蝶，”他说，“它们象征着脆弱的生命，象征着希望与不屈，有某种东西打动了我的灵魂。”

That’s about as effective as brushing dirt under a carpet and can even make us ill.

这差不多就像把灰尘扫到地毯下面一样无济于事，甚至可能让我们生病。

Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfilment and opportunity for all.

科学技术将治愈人类的一切弊病，让所有人都过上充实而充满机遇的生活。
