So I'll walk you through a brief overview of what we're trying to do
我将简单概述一下其中的内容
and then give you some highlights of the capacity building aspects which is something I'm particularly interested in as well
简明扼要讲一下能力建设的问题，这也是我很感兴趣的一个问题
So as we go through PREDICT is really part of, is one of five initiatives that we're now at the end of year one
PREDICT是五个计划中的一个，我们现在正处在第一年末
And so PREDICT is about a $75 million grant
PREDICT大概有7500万美元的拨款
We're really charged with wildlife surveillance
我们需要负责野生动物监控
and finding out whether the passage of circulating in wildlife populations could spill over and jump to human populations
研究野生动物之间的病毒传播是否会外溢并感染人类
The next HIV-1 for example
就像艾滋病毒这样
But there are other initiatives that are part of it that are charged with capacity building for response to disease outbreaks
另外还有其它一些项目负责疾病爆发响应能力建设
for preventing future outbreaks by behavior change
通过行为改变预防未来爆发
identifying, doing laboratory capacity building, delivery gets new equipment to various hot spot regions of the world
进行实验室能力建设，将新设备运往世界的热点区域
So overall we're part of this emerging pandemic threats program funded by USAID
总之，我们属于这个新发流行病项目的一部分由USAID资助
and our very small challenge is prevent, respond to and predict really what are the next pathogens of pandemic potential
我们这部分的任务是预防，预测下一种潜在传染病病原体并作出反应
So you know, just an everyday thing to take on here
这就是我们每天要处理的事
But in a couple of areas that we were caring you see on the left, in Uganda the livestock, wildlife interface
这里是几个我们关心的地区，左侧是乌干达，家畜同野生动物的接触点
where even if we build fences to try and keep the livestock away from the wildlife for example
就算我们在野生动物和家畜之间建起篱笆
the wildlife don't know, the livestock either, right
野生动物和家畜也不会乖乖待在两边
And so what we would like to do is contain disease in small areas and have these buffers
所以我们希望将特定疾病限制在小范围地区，设立缓冲
to prevent spillover across the species that eventually might get to humans, but it's not always so clear-cut
防止物种间传染病外溢，最终传给人，但这中间没有清晰界限
