我们还应记住，目前的危机不过是病原体功能获得性研究的科学活动误入歧途。我们必须小心谨慎，不能放弃我们作为人类有尊严地生存的权利——甚至不能因为科学而放弃这种权利。我们不能让科学成为我们的主宰，尽管为了努力实现人类在地球上更美好的生活，我们会冒险深入未知的科学海洋。
We would also do well to remember that the current crisis is nothing but a misadventure of scientific activity in studies with regard to the gain-of-function research on pathogens. We must be careful not to abdicate our right to a dignified human existence — not even to science. We cannot make science our master, although we would venture into the uncharted seas of science in the endeavour to achieve a better life on Earth for humankind.
