下面的采访是在1882年进行的，当时巴斯德60岁。在他漫长的职业生涯中，除了在化学和结晶学方面的发现外，他还成功地防止了葡萄酒和啤酒的变质，治疗了蚕病，并在牲畜中接种了致命疾病的疫苗，这些成就对法国经济非常重要。他于1882年4月27日被收容到法国学院。他正在研究他一生中最大的成就--狂犬病的治愈。他在三年内就做到了这一点。第一次在人类中成功治疗这种疾病是在1885年。在采访时，他还没有开发出治疗这种疾病的方法--接种减毒病毒。在1882年，巴斯德对细菌的理解与我们的相比，似乎是试探性的和初级的。他对细胞的结构和功能的了解比现在的高中生还少。但认识的局限并不排除成功的预防和治疗。事实上，我们对身体及其病理的了解并不是绝对的，但我们可以治愈疾病。当“病毒”一词出现在下面的译本中时，它代表了原文中的同一个词，尽管巴斯德当然不能通过这个词来理解我们所理解的东西。它可能被翻译成“毒药”或“毒剂”，但我想最好还是像巴斯德用的那样保存它。
The following interview was conducted in 1882, when Pasteur was sixty. In his long career, besides his discoveries in chemistry and crystallography, he had been successful in preventing the spoiling of wine and beer, in treating the diseases of silkworms, and in vaccination for fatal diseases among livestock, achievements of great importance to the economy of France. He had been received into the Acad6mie Fran, aise on 27 April 1882. He was at work on what would be the crowning achievement of his life, a cure for rabies. He attained it within three years. The first successful treatment of the disease among humans was in 1885. At the time of the interview he had not yet developed a cure for the disease among dogs-the inoculation of attenuated viruses. In 1882 Pasteur's understanding of bacteria, compared with ours, seems tentative and rudimentary. He knew less of the structure and function of the cell than the high school student knows today. But limitation of understanding does not preclude successful prophylaxis and treatment. Indeed, our understanding of the body and its pathology is not absolute, and yet we can cure diseases.Where the word" virus" appears in the following translation it represents the same word in the original, though of course Pasteur did not understand by the word what we understand. It might have been translated" poison" or" toxic agent", but I thought it better to preserve it as Pasteur used it.
