剛剛上課的主題是藥物濫用跟愛滋病的研究,末了討論的時候,演講者問說明天是什麼日子?星期五、十二月一日、還有『世界愛滋日』,學校辦了很多相關活動,希望明天上完課要記得去參加。
收信時,看到這封信,內容如下:
Dear Friends,
親愛的朋友們:
As World AIDS Day approaches (Dec. 1), we are reminded that millions of people need our help with the AIDS pandemic, but we often think, "What can I do?"
隨著世界愛滋日的到來,提醒我們世界上有數以百萬計受愛滋蔓延影響的人們需要我們的協助,但是我們往往想到的是『我能做什麼呢?』
Here is one simple way you can help, and it costs you nothing but a moment and a mouse click.
這裡有個你能提供協助的簡單方法,只需要動動滑鼠按鍵便成。
Bristol Myers Squibb will donate $1 for every person who goes to their website and lights a candle to fight AIDS, up to a max of $100,000. At this point, the counter is just over 74,000... so we need many more candles lit.
只要你到下列網站點亮一根對抗愛滋的蠟燭,Bristol Myers Squibb就捐出美金一元,最多將捐出美金十萬元。目前已經超過七萬四千根蠟燭(我剛剛看已經超過二十一萬根了!),所以我們需要點亮更多的蠟燭。
Please go to this link to light a candle... and help spread the light.
請連結到點亮蠟燭的網站,並協助分散光亮。
