比爾蓋茨稱,他的三個(gè)孩子理解他在死后將700億英鎊財(cái)產(chǎn)捐給基金會(huì)的決定。
In a revealing insight into his private life, the Microsoft founder, 60, said his children are 'proud' of his decision to dedicate his money to helping the world's poorest.
在對(duì)比爾蓋茨私生活的了解過程當(dāng)中,他表示,他的孩子對(duì)他將財(cái)產(chǎn)捐給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)以幫助更多窮人的決定感到很自豪。
Gates said that instead of billion-dollar trust funds, his two daughters and son will be given a 'great education' to help kick-start their own careers.
比爾蓋茨說他的孩子們不會(huì)繼承數(shù)十億信托基金,他的兩個(gè)女兒和兒子將接受良好的教育,未來開創(chuàng)屬于自己的事業(yè)。
But the business mogul did say there would still be a financial safety net in place, adding: 'They are never going to be poorly off'.
但是這位商業(yè)大亨說,他將會(huì)給孩子們留一小部分財(cái)產(chǎn),他補(bǔ)充道:“他們永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)很差?!?/div>

大女兒珍妮弗是斯坦福大學(xué)大二學(xué)生,比爾蓋茨給斯坦福大學(xué)捐贈(zèng)500萬英鎊建了一棟以他名字命名的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)大樓。珍妮弗也是一名優(yōu)秀的馬術(shù)騎手,經(jīng)常參加國家競(jìng)賽。
The Gates will only pass on a fraction of their vast wealth to their children.
比爾蓋茨只會(huì)將他巨額財(cái)富中的一小部分留給孩子們。

除此之外,其余的財(cái)產(chǎn)全部捐獻(xiàn)給蓋茨-梅琳達(dá)基金會(huì),以資助世界各地衛(wèi)生和教育項(xiàng)目。
He said: 'This money is dedicated to helping the poorest. They know that, they are proud of that, they go on trips with us to see the work that's being done.'
比爾蓋茨說:“我的孩子們知道這些錢是用來幫助最窮苦的人們,他們?yōu)榇烁械胶茏院?,他們將和我們一起去旅行,看看現(xiàn)在我們正在做的事情?!?/div>
