心靈雞湯:巴菲特致股東的信

股神巴菲特在美國東部時間17日確診患前列腺癌，以下爲巴菲特致伯克希爾-哈撒韋股東的信。

To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:

致伯克希爾-哈撒韋股東：

This is to let you know that I have been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer. The good news is that I’ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely life-threatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way. I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body.

在此告知各位我已被診斷患一期前列腺癌症。好消息是醫生告知我的病情遠不危及生命，甚至不會顯著影響身體機能。上週三我接受了診斷，週四做了CAT掃描和骨掃描，今天（週三）做了核磁共振。這些檢查均未顯示身體其餘部分患癌。

My doctors and I have decided on a two-month treatment of daily radiation to begin in mid-July. This regimen will restrict my travel during that period, but will not otherwise change my daily routine.

醫生和我本人決定，從7月中旬開始進行爲期兩個月的每日放療。在此期間我的出行將受到限制，但日常工作不會發生變化。

I feel great — as if I were in my normal excellent health — and my energy level is 100 percent. I discovered the cancer because my PSA level (an indicator my doctors had regularly checked for many years) recently jumped beyond its normal elevation and a biopsy seemed warranted.

我感覺良好——彷彿處於正常的良好健康狀態中——我的精力十分充沛。我發現自己患癌，是因爲前列腺特異性抗原(PSA，多年來我的大夫做例行檢查的一項指標)水平近來遠超正常水平，活檢似乎得到確認。

I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off.

如果病情發生變化，我將立刻通知各位股東。當然，那一天終將到來，但我相信離那一天還挺遠。

Warren E. Buffett
