龙之心

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·盖茨看上去似乎是坐拥万千，但是他有一个遗憾。这名白手起家的亿万富翁坦言，他觉得自己不会一门外语真是大大的失策。

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.
在在线论坛Reddit上的“随便问我点啥”的问答环节，他回答了这第三个问题，这名微软创始人坦言，他希望他会说法语、阿拉伯语或是汉语。

He said: 'I took Latin and Greek in high school and got A's and I guess it helps my vocabulary.
他说：“我在高中的时候选修过拉丁文和希腊语，并拿到了A的好成绩，我猜这对我的词汇量很有帮助。

'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.'
我希望继续有时间学习其中一门语言——可能是法语，因为法语最好学。我有一阵子用Duolingo语言学习应用学过，但是没坚持下去。”

Gates, who is worth $79.3billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for stunning an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Mandarin.
身价793亿美金的盖茨，赞扬了脸书的创始人马克·扎克伯格——用一口流利的汉语让北京的观众惊艳四座。

He said: 'Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Mandarin and did a Q&A with Chinese students - incredible.'
他说：“马克·扎克伯格学习了汉语真是太惊奇了，而且难以置信，他还和中国学生进行问答。”

During the session yesterday, the 59-year-old said that he loves BBQ sauce but avoids it before TV appearances because he tends to spill it, his biggest splurge is having a private jet and he enjoys Indian and Thai food.
在昨天的问答环节，59岁的盖茨说，他很喜欢烧烤酱，但是在电视上露面之前他不会吃，因为他会洒出来，他最值得炫耀的就是有一架私人飞机，而且他喜欢印度菜和泰国菜。

裸身狂骂一小时
