An unusual somberness fell over the normally raucous Chinese Internet on Friday as news spread that one of the country's most influential tech figures and biggest social media stars has been diagnosed with cancer. 周五，随着中国最具影响力的科技人物、最知名的社交媒体明星之一被诊断罹患癌症的消息传开，通常喧嚣的中国互联网上出现了少有的忧郁气氛。 Lee Kai-fu, former head of China operations for Google, first suggested that he had been hit with the disease in a somewhat cryptic post on his verified Sina Weibo microblog feed late Thursday night. 前谷歌(Google)大中华区总裁李开复(Lee Kai-fu)上周四晚间在其新浪认证微博账户中发布了一篇隐晦的微博，最先暗示自己罹患癌症。 'The world is mutable and life has limits, ' he wrote. 'It turns out that everyone is equal in the face of cancer.' 他写道：世事无常，生命有限。原来，在癌症面前，人人平等。 In a second, more detailed post Friday morning, he revealed that he had lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that affects white blood cells. Mr. Lee, 52, confirmed the diagnosis in an email. 在上周五早间另外一篇更为详细的微博中，他披露自己罹患淋巴癌。淋巴癌是一种影响白血球的血癌。52岁的李开复在一封电子邮件中证实了自己被诊断罹患癌症。 |
