《哈利·波特》的作者J·K·羅琳捐了一大筆錢(qián)，用于在一個(gè)以她已故母親的名字命名的研究中心研究多發(fā)性硬化癥的治療方法。

The 15.3 million-pound ($18.8 million) donation announced Thursday will be used for new facilities at a research center based at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. The author's mother suffered from the disease and died at the age of 45.

The new gift follows a major donation Rowling made in 2010 that started the Anne Rowling clinic at the university.

此次捐贈(zèng)之前，羅琳曾在2010年豪捐過(guò)一次，用于在愛(ài)丁堡大學(xué)開(kāi)設(shè)安妮羅琳診所。

Rowling said she is encouraged by advances being made and proud that the clinic is not only doing important research but has also provided "practical, on the ground support and care for people with MS."

羅琳說(shuō)正在取得的進(jìn)步給了她鼓舞，而且她很驕傲該診所不僅進(jìn)行重要研究，而且也“為多發(fā)性硬化癥患者提供切實(shí)有效的幫助和照顧”。
