Yet when UNICEF announced, in September of last year, that the number of children dying each year from poverty-related causes had dropped by one million, as compared to two years earlier, the story got very little media attention. The people who contributed to this drop by delivering effective basic health care, building a supply of safe water, or immunizing children against measles remain largely unknown.
而虽然联合国儿童基金会在去年九月宣布：相对于两年之前，每年由于贫困致死的儿童数量已经降到了 100 万以下，但这个消息却遭到了媒体的冷遇。那些通过援助有效的卫生服务，建造干净饮用水设施，为儿童接种麻疹疫苗而实现了儿童死亡数目下降的人们却依然默默无闻。
