……去读这些领域的教材，而不是试图直接扎进最前沿的研究论文去理解（那些往往有误，而且细节极难读懂）。推荐几本书：Weinberg 的《The Biology of Cancer》。读完这本书后，你就能更明白为什么当人们说“治愈癌症”时，医生和科学家们会尴尬得脚趾抠地了。还有 Alberts 等人的《Molecular Biology of the Cell》。读完之后……
…fields and reading them, rather than trying to understand things by dropping into the state of the art research (which is usually wrong, and hard to understand in detail). Some books I recommend: The Biology of Cancer (Weinberg). After you read this book you'll have a better understanding of why doctors and scientists cringe when people say "cure cancer". Molecular Biology the Cell (Alberts, etc). After you read…
Robert Weinberg 的《The Biology of Cancer》里有一章非常棒，讲的是癌症研究的早期历史、它与病毒学的联系，以及一次偶然事件是如何促成重大发现的。当时有位养鸡户注意到他的某些鸡……
Robert Weinberg's The Biology of Cancer has a great chapter on the early history of cancer research and its connection with virology and a chance occurrence leading to discovery. There was a chicken breeder who noticed that some of his birds…
"almost certainly vanishingly rare event" * "incredibly high rate of reproduction of viruses" = almost certainty. See the first 4 chapters of "Biology of Cancer" by Weinberg.
我强烈建议去读读 Weinberg 写的《The Biology of Cancer》，这样你能更好地理解为什么我们大概率无法把癌症研究得彻底透彻到能把它降级为一个小病。
I strongly suggest reading "The Biology of Cancer" by Weinberg to get a better understanding of why we will likely not understand cancer so completely we can render it a minor disease.
……误导性（存在大量混杂因素）。基础信息可以看这个链接：https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/d... 在 Robert A Weinberg 写的那本名作《The Biology of Cancer》里有更深入的好阐述，不过那是一本教科书。
…misleading (lots of confounders). See this link for some basic information: https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/d... There is a further good writeup on it in the great book "The Biology of Cancer" by Robert A Weinberg, but it is a textbook.

再说一遍，你读过 Weinberg 写的《The Biology of Cancer》吗？我所说的可是有确凿证据支持的。
again, have you read "The Biology of Cancer", by Weinberg? There is strong evidence for what I'm saying.
“几乎注定是极罕见的事件” * “病毒极其恐怖的繁殖速率” = 几乎必然发生。参见 Weinberg 写的《Biology of Cancer》前 4 章。
"almost certainly vanishingly rare event" * "incredibly high rate of reproduction of viruses" = almost certainty. See the first 4 chapters of "Biology of Cancer" by Weinberg.
