有一个流传已久但未证实的说法:如果谁能攻克任何一种癌症,世界卫生组织将在总部前建一座与其本人外形尺寸一样大小的纯金塑像。然而,从40年前美国宣布“向癌症宣战计划”起,迄今没有任何一位科学家能够被塑金身。这主要是由于“攻克癌症”的过程恐怕远远没有人们设想的那么富于戏剧化,这个世界难题恐怕是一个涉及到生物医学各个领域的问题,需要孜孜以求的长期不懈努力。 There is a long-held but unconfirmed statement: If anyone can overcome any kind of cancer, the World Health Organization will build a pure gold statue of the same size as its own in front of the headquarters. However, since the United States announced its “declaration of war against cancer” 40 years ago, no scientist has ever been able to be plastic. This is mainly due to the fact that the process of “conquering cancers” is far less dramatic than people have imagined. This world problem is probably a problem that involves all areas of biomedicine and requires long-term unremitting efforts.
