The Omidyar way of giving 奥米迪亚式的给予 The founder of eBay aims to be a moreentrepreneurial philanthropist than hispredecessors. 这位eBay的创始人想要成为比他的前辈们更成功的创业慈善家。 THE billionaire s dilemma: 这是一个亿万富翁的艰难选择： spend 250m on buying the venerable Washington Post, or splash the cash on a start-upnews network to be headed by a controversial investigative journalist with no experienceof running anything? 花费25, 000万美元买下可敬的《华盛顿邮报》，还是把砸在一个刚刚起步的网络资讯公司上?而且这家公司的领头人只是一个毫无管理经验而且备受争议的调查记者。 It is entirely in character that Pierre Omidyar chose the second option, bankrolling the newjournalism venture of Glenn Greenwald, best known for his reporting on the NationalSecurity Agency. 奥米迪亚当然是选择了后者，为以报道国家安全局而出名的Glenn Greenwald的新型资讯事业提供资金。 Mr Omidyar did not become a billionaire at the age of 31 by fixing an establishedinstitution, but by building eBay from scratch into a worldwide online marketplace. 奥米迪亚能在31岁的年龄就成为一个亿万富翁，是通过白手起家将eBay打造为一个涵盖全球的购物网站，而非改组一个已经建立的机构。 |
