自二十世纪后半叶以来，在石油和天然气财富推动下，昔日的采珠人阶层、海滩商贩们和贝都因游牧部落早已改天换地。

Tiny societies of pearl divers, coastal merchants, and nomadic Bedouin were transformed in the last half of the 20th century by oil and natural-gas wealth.

成功的真正标志，不是我们是否成为让人能勉强度日的永久援助源泉，而是我们是否成为为实现改天换地的变化而进行能力建设的伙伴。

The true sign of success is not whether we're the source of perpetual aid that helps people scrape by, it's whether we are partners in building the capacity for transformational change.
