At this lab in Manchester, scientists are working hard to help people with a disease called "leukaemia".
在曼彻斯特的这个实验室里，科学家们正在努力帮助患有白血病的人。
And with Diego, whose grandmother had leukaemia, to find out more about what's being done to treat it.
我们和迭戈一起，他的祖母就曾患有白血病，来了解更多治疗方法。
Simona, how are you doing? Should we all take a seat? Do you want to sit here? Do you have a question for Simona?
西蒙娜，你最近还好吗？我们都坐下吧？你想坐在这儿吗？你有问题要问西蒙娜吗？
How did you become a scientist?
你是如何成为一名科学家的？
The most important thing is to be curious about why things happen. So we study basically everything that happens in our body, also the small parts of our body, and try to understand what doesn't work properly.
最重要的是对事情发生的原因保持好奇。所以我们会研究我们身体里发生的每一件事，也包括我们身体的一小部分，并试图了解哪些地方运行得不正常。
And you need to be curious because you need to ask yourself always why and how can I sort that out?
你需要保持好奇心因为你需要经常问自己为什么、我怎么才能解决这个问题？
So be curious. How about being patient as well?
所以要保持好奇心。是不是同样需要耐心？
Oh yes. Look at things from a different perspective and make them work. So you need to be very patient.
噢，是的。从不同的角度看待事物，并使之发挥作用。所以你需要非常耐心。
There's so many different types of cancers, aren't there? You work mainly on leukemia. Tell us a bit about that.
癌症有很多种，不是吗？你主要研究白血病。跟我们聊聊它吧。
So leukemia is a cancer of the blood. And what happens during leukemia is that there is a particular type of these cells that grows too much.
白血病是一种血液癌症。在白血病患病期间，人体内有一种特殊类型的细胞生长得太多了。
So your body is not ready for that and cannot really function normally. And that's what we are trying to investigate and how we can stop it.
你的身体还没有准备好，不能正常运作。这就是我们正在努力研究的，以及我们该如何控制它。
You can see each one of these. These are tiny, tiny cells.
你可以看到每一个细胞。这些都是非常非常小的细胞。
With the new technologies that we have, we can look into each of these single cell.
利用我们现有的新技术，我们可以仔细观察每一个单细胞。
What's so bad about the leukemia cells?
白血病细胞的问题在哪里呢？
The bad is that they grow too much and we need to stop them growing.
问题就在于它们长得太多了，我们需要阻止它们生长。
We are looking for a cure doing our research. So what my lab does is translational research.
我们正在研究寻找治疗方法。我的实验室做的是转化研究。
That is basically means you are doing something in the lab that can move them into the clinic and find the new treatments.
这大概是指你在实验室里做一些事情，可以把它们转移到诊所，找到新的治疗方法。
And we are trying to understand if we can kind of remove a type of food that leukemia likes a lot, if we can stop it or make it smaller.
我们正在尝试弄清楚我们是否能去除一种白血病非常喜欢的食物，如果我们能阻止它生长或使它变小。
So definitely we are doing a research that can find the cure. That's our goal.
所以我们确实是在做一项能找到治愈白血病的研究。这就是我们的目标。
And it's not just research here, is it? There's research going on all over the world.
研究不仅仅是在这里展开，对吧？世界各地都在进行研究。
Absolutely. So this wouldn't be possible, thank you for this question, without people believing in us and supporting us like Leukaemia UK and other charities,
当然。感谢你的提问。所以如果没有人相信我们，没有人支持我们，比如英国白血病协会和其他慈善机构，相关研究是不可能做下去的。
All with, you know, all the researchers in the world because we all work for the same thing, make people feel better. We are all trying to find a cure for cancer.
世界上所有的研究人员，我们都在为同一个目标努力，那就是造福人类。我们都在努力寻找治疗癌症的方法。
