Today, some developing countries in Africa, Asia and South America stand at a crossroads.
今天，非洲、亚洲和南美洲的一些发展中国家正处于关键时刻。
While they are seeing great development, they are still poorer than many countries in other parts of the world,
当前它们正经理巨大的发展，但同时它们依然比世界上很多其他国家要贫穷，
and there is a danger that they could fall further behind developed countries.
并且有进一步于落后发达国家的危险。
They need help, but the sad truth is that merely sending loaves of bread is not enough

There is a saying that goes "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a his life."
有句俗语是这样说的：“授人以鱼，三餐之需；授人以渔，终生之用。”
In order to find a permanent solution to this long-term problem, countries need to develop so that they can either grow the food they need, or having enough money to buy this food on the world market.
为了找到解决这一长期问题的长久之计，国家需要发展以生产他们需要的食物，并有足够的钱在世界市场上购买这些食物。
What developing countries really need to do is to stop poverty by fighting the causes of it.

One way to help a country develop is to improve it's infrastructure.
这样做的方法之一就是改善一国的基础设施。
The infrastructure of a country is what makes everything run well, and it includes things like transport, irrigation, electricity, telephones and schools.
一国的基础设施就是让一切良好运作的设施，包括交通、灌溉、电力、电话和学校等。
These things provide a framework for new jobs to be created, allowing people to help themselves so that they no longer need to depend on others.
这些事业如果发展起来，就会为人们创造就业机会，使得他们可以帮助自己而不用依赖他人。
