What does the richest man in the world get people for Christmas? Turns out, some pretty sweet stuff.
世界上最富有的人會(huì)給人們準(zhǔn)備什么圣誕禮物呢?事實(shí)證明,是一些很貼心的小東西。
As part of Reddit’s annual Secret Santa, which 120,650 users of the website signed up for this year, Bill Gates got his Kris Kringle on, giving one lucky Reddit user the gift from Gates himself.“
秘密圣誕老人”活動(dòng)作為Reddit(美國(guó)社交新聞網(wǎng)站)每年的保留項(xiàng)目,今年吸引了120650名用戶注冊(cè)參加,今年比爾?蓋茨又打扮成圣誕老人,送給一位幸運(yùn)的Reddit用戶圣誕禮物。
According to Business Insider, Gates gave user NayaTheNinja a bunch of new outdoor gear, including a mosquito net, a tent and a camping chair along with a Gates-picked playlist and a book called “Thing Explainer.”
據(jù)美國(guó)媒體Business Insider透露,蓋茨送給這名名叫納婭·熱·尼加的用戶一套戶外裝備,包括一個(gè)蚊帳、一頂帳篷、一把露營(yíng)椅、蓋茨挑選的的播放列表以及一本叫做《解釋萬(wàn)物》的書。
But the cherry on top was something less tangible: a donation to the charity Malaria No More, which works toward eradicating the disease.
但使得禮物錦上添花的,卻是一些無(wú)形的物品:捐贈(zèng)給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)“告別瘧疾”,該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)致力于消除瘧疾。
Gates has been fighting Malaria through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for years so it’s not a surprise that he would be privy to how important the issue is.
過(guò)去數(shù)年中,蓋茨一直透過(guò)比爾和梅琳達(dá)?蓋茨基金會(huì)與瘧疾斗爭(zhēng);因此,蓋茨了解這一問(wèn)題的重要性也并不意外。
“You and I have something in common: We both hate mosquitos!”Gates wrote in his Secret Santa note. “One of my Secret Santa presents to you is a donation in your name to Malaria No More, because no child should ever die of a mosquito bite.”
“你和我有些共同之處:我們都討厭蚊子!”蓋茨在秘密圣誕老人便條中寫道。“我給你的秘密圣誕禮物之一便是以你的名義向‘告別瘧疾’組織捐贈(zèng)物資,因?yàn)椴辉撚腥魏蝺和烙谖孟x叮咬?!?/div>
Gates has participated in Reddit’s Secret Santa for the last few years, so sign up next year and, who knows, he may just grant your wish.
過(guò)去數(shù)年中,蓋茨一直參與Reddit的秘密圣誕老人活動(dòng)。所以,明年你也注冊(cè)參加吧,說(shuō)不定蓋茨可以滿足你的愿望哦。
