The progress that the world has made in helping the poorest in the last 15 years is the kind of good-news story that happens one life at a time, so it often does not have the same visibility as a big setback, such as the outbreak of a new epidemic. From time to time, we should step back and celebrate the achievements that come with having the right goals, the necessary political will, generous aid, and innovation in tools and their delivery.
过去十五年中世界在帮助最穷人群方面取得的进步是千载难遇的好好消息，因此，当重大退步，比如新传染病的爆发发生时，通常并不那么引人注目。一次又一次，我们应该后退一步，庆祝随正确的目标、必要的政治意愿、慷慨的援助和工具及其传递的创新一起到来的成就。这样做显然可以加深我们对这项事业的热情。
