The world's richest man might seem to have it all, but Bill Gates has one regret. The self-made billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages. 世界首富比尔·盖茨看似坐拥一切,但却有一件憾事。这位白手起家的亿万富翁觉得自己不会外语是件很逊的事情。 Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything question-and-answer session for online forum Reddit, the Microsoft founder revealed that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese. 在第三次参加网络论坛Reddit的Ask Me Anything问答时,微比尔·盖茨透露,他希望自己会说法语、阿拉伯语或中文。 He said: 'I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary. ' 他说:“我在高中的时候上过拉丁语和希腊语课,而且两门都得了A,我觉得这两门课拓展了我的词汇。” 'I keep hoping to get time to study one of these - probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn't keep it up.' 他还说:“我一直希望有时间学习前面说到的其中一门语言,可能是法语吧,因为它是那三种里面最容易的。我用过一阵Duolingo(一免费语言学习工具),但是我没能坚持下来。” Gates, who is worth $79.3billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for stunning an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Mandarin. |
