On Wikipedia, I’ve created 2,463 articles. All of them for free.
在维基百科，我创建了2，463篇文章。它们全部是免费的。
I’m a systems consultant, working with very large-scale financial computer systems. If the time I’ve spent on Wikipedia were converted to money, it would add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars for me.
我是个系统顾问，在一个大型的金融电脑系统中心工作。如果要把我在维基百科上耗费的时间折算成现金的话，恐怕有几十万之多。
But money is not the incentive here. You deal in a different currency on Wikipedia. The information is gladly provided by me and thousands of other editors who are happy to create it. We all know the world is better off because that information is freely available.
但是在维基百科中并不是金钱所能刺激你去编撰条目的，它通过是另一种流通方式。我和数以千计的编撰人员很乐意为大家提供的信息并且创建和编辑条目。我们都知道世界会变的更好是因为这些信息都是免费提供的。
Of course, the infrastructure supporting that free information is not free, and that’s why once a year we ask for donations. There are no ads on Wikipedia, there’s nothing flashing, there’s nothing on the side of the page, we’re not trying to sell you anything. Wikipedia is untainted by commercial transactions.<!-- or: Wikipedia is free from commercial transactions. -->
当然，支撑这些免费信息存活下去的东西不是免费的，这就是为什么每年一次，我们要求捐款。在维基百科没有广告，因此您在页面的侧栏不会看到浮动的广告，我们也没有试图让您推销任何东西。维基百科也没有从任何商业交易获益。
We just need your support with $5, €10, ¥1000 or whatever you can afford to keep this information coming to you.
我们仅仅是需要您提供，5美元，10欧元，1000人民币或者任何您能承受的起的金额，以确保我们继续为您提供信息。
The infrastructure that supports our work, hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, is about as bare-bones as it gets. Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website in the world, running with only '''370 servers and fewer than 100 employees'''. That’s really astounding.
这些基础设置将用于起我们（非盈利性的维基媒体基金会的主办方）在维基的工作。
Compare that to our fellow top-5 global websites:
您可以把我们和我们的全世界排名前5的合作者做个比较：
*Google: 1,000,000 servers, 24,000 employees.
*Facebook: 60,000 servers, 2,000 employees.
*Microsoft: 220,000 servers, 90,000 employees.
*Yahoo: 50,000 servers, 13,900 employees.
*Google: 1,000,000 服务器, 24,000 工作人员.

The Wikimedia Foundation is a place where a small donation goes a long, long way.
现在只需要您提供一笔很小的捐助我们就可以走的很远。
The way the economy is built, we assume people only work for money. How else do you get someone to show up for work if they don’t get paid?
现世是由金钱塑造，我们假设人们只为钱工作，您怎么去理解一个人去工作而不拿任何报酬？
At Wikipedia, the will to cooperate and improve knowledge has been harnessed<!-- or: used --> to create an invaluable resource. Culture is not up to the highest bidder. You get unbiased, accurate information. Organized in a thorough fashion, well-documented, well-referenced, up-to-date, whenever you want it.
在维基百科，您的捐款将用于合作和改善条目，创建更有价值的资源。文化不是给能出的起更高的价钱的人。你能得到公正，准确的信息。只要你想要，我们将会用更好的方式组织、更好的存档、更好的参照来更新信息。
That seems like a tremendous bargain to me.
这好像是我在讨价还价。
Thank you,
谢谢您，
