中国武汉新冠病毒肺炎疫情牵动全球。
今日，世界顶尖科学家协会（WLA）副主席、2013年诺贝尔化学奖得主、斯坦福大学终身教授迈克尔·莱维特与妻子苏珊联名发来信函，通过“世界顶尖科学家论坛”独家发布如下。 
信函饱含真挚友谊与殷切希望，鼓励中国及中国人民坚强勇敢地抗击疫情，并表示愿意为中国抗疫提供帮助。

Dear Chinese people,

For a few days now, I've been wandering the streets of Tel Aviv imagining you in all the places I've been living with you in China since 2007.

But nothing today seems to be like yesterday.  The streets in your cities are deserted, the museums and galleries are locked closed, the malls are empty, the trains are hollow.  Clinics are filled with anxiety; hospitals in Wuhan are densely packed in horror.

New Year's holiday and the long-awaited family vacation anticipated all year have become a home curfew and a dejected despair that longs for the medicine, the pigeon that signals the fall in water level and that the end of the plague is approaching.

Western media broadcast what is happening to you from a selfishly focused perspective: how to limit the outbreak of illness outside your borders.  How narrow and sad that they never stop the sequence of programs to go beyond the routine, to give you a voice and to send you words of encouragement and solidarity.

It is important to tell you: we look after your health, ask for your peace and support you from anywhere in the world!

As one would appeal to friends in distress, please tell us how can we help you.

Be strong and courageous!

With friendship and hope,

Shoshan and Michael Levitt

我就知道你“在看”
