微軟創始人之一艾倫患淋巴瘤

【英文原文】

Investor Paul Allen Diagnosed With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Paul Allen, the billionaire investor who co-founded Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), was diagnosed earlier this month with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and is undergoing chemotherapy.

Allen, whose assets include cable provider Charter Communications Inc. (CHTRQ), professional sports teams and holdings in numerous technology startups, left Microsoft more than 25 years ago after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, from which he recovered.

In an email sent Monday afternoon to employees of Vulcan Inc., Allen's Seattle-based investment firm, Vulcan CEO Jody Allen said Mr. Allen's doctors say he has diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Ms. Allen, Mr. Allen's sister, said in the email that the diagnosis is 'tough news for Paul and the family.'

'Paul is feeling OK and remains upbeat,' she said in the email. 'He continues to work and he has no plans to change his role at Vulcan. His health comes first, though, and we'll be sure that nothing intrudes on that.'

微軟(Microsoft Corp.)創始人之一、億萬富豪保羅•艾倫(Paul Allen)，本月被診斷出非何傑金氏淋巴瘤，目前正在接受化療。

艾倫的資產包括有線電視運營商Charter Communications Inc.，數支職業運動隊，以及在多家科技創業企業的持股。25年多以前，他在被診出何杰金氏病後離開微軟，後來康復。

艾倫位於西雅圖的投資公司Vulcan Inc.的首席執行長喬迪•艾倫(Jody Allen)週一下午發電子郵件告訴員工，艾倫的醫生表示，他患了瀰漫型大B細胞淋巴瘤。

喬迪•艾倫在電子郵件裏表示，診斷結果對保羅和全家都是難以接受的消息。

她在郵件裏說，保羅感覺良好，仍然很樂觀。他還在工作，也沒有打算調整在Vulcan裏的角色。不過他的健康是第一位的，我們會保證這一點不受打擾。
