3.(Laughter) But I am going talk about, what are the big problems in the world?
（笑声） 我要说的， 是地球上最严重的问题是什么？

16.We don't actually solve all problems.
在现实世界，我们不会解决所有的问题。
17.And if we do not, the question I think we need to ask ourselves -- and that's why it's on the economy session -- is to say, if we don't do all things, we really have to start asking ourselves,
既然我们不会解决所有的问题，那我们便要问问自己 -- 这就是为什么这场演讲被安排在经济时段-- 既然我们不会应付全部问题，我们就应该开始问自己，
18.which ones should we solve first?
我们应该先解决那些问题?
19.And that's the question I'd like to ask you.

26.Where should we start on solving these problems?

33.So the point is not to prioritize problems, but the point is to prioritize solutions to problems.

41.What should be at the bottom of the list?
