Bill Gates was on "Morning Joe" Wednesday to talk about the role of innovation in humanitarian aid, but singled out education as the issue that could most determine America's future. 比尔盖茨星期三在“Morning Joe”谈论人道主义援助方面创新的作用，但单列出教育作为最可能决定美国未来的问题。 "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Gates to name one issue in the U.S. that "really plagues us and could really bring us down, semi-health-oriented." “Morning Joe”搭档Mika Brzezinski要求盖茨说出在美国“真正困扰我们，且可能真的会把我们击倒、半健康导向的”一个问题。 "I'd pick education, if I was thinking broadly about America," Gates responded. "It's our tool of equality. It has not improved, it's fallen behind other countries in a very big way." “我会选择教育，如果我正在对美国畅想，”盖茨答道。“这是我们平等的工具。它还没有改善，在很大方面它还落后于其他国家。” The statement came during a discussion with New York Times columnist Nick Kristof on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's work in humanitarian aid and education -- pegged to the release of Gates' annual letter on Wednesday. 该声明是在与《纽约时报》的专栏作家尼克•克里斯托夫关于比尔和梅林达•盖茨基金会在人道主义援助和教育方面的工作的讨论中出来的——与周三盖茨的年度信一起。 |
