比爾蓋茨北大演講談全球化 稱中國年輕人有好時機

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has said China is the "best place" for the young to fulfill their ambitions to make the world a better place.

微軟創始人比爾·蓋茨近日表示，對想實現理想、將世界變得更美好的年輕人來說，中國是最好的地方。

In a lecture to Peking University students, the billionaire philanthropist described the skepticism in some developed countries about whether globalization works for ordinary people.

在爲北京大學學生做演講時，這名億萬富豪兼慈善家表示，一些發達國家對全球化能否爲普通民衆帶來好處持質疑態度。

He said the results of the US presidential election and the Brexit vote showed how any country may turn inward when confronted with difficult issues like immigration, security and global development.

他表示，美國總統大選和英國脫歐公投的結果顯示，任何國家在面對移民、安全和全球發展等難題時都可能出現國內優先的傾向。

In a world suddenly short of experienced leaders, Gates commended China for assuming greater responsibility for critical global issues like climate change and inclusive development.

在世界突然缺少經驗豐富的領導者時，蓋茨讚揚中國在氣候變化和普惠發展等重要的全球議題上承擔了更大的責任。

Gates told hundreds of students attending the lecture of his high hopes for China's youth as they enter the workforce at the time of "China's rise as a center of global progress and innovation."

蓋茨向數百名來聽演講的學生表達了他對中國年輕人寄予的厚望。他表示：“當你們步入社會時，恰逢中國崛起，成爲全球發展和創新的中心。”

"The world's eyes are on world's eyes are specifically on all of you... What an incredible thing is the belief that you can make the world a better place. There has never been a better moment," he said.

他說道：“全世界的目光都在關注中國……關注你們這些天之驕子……堅信你能讓世界變得更美好是多麼令人心潮澎湃的事，沒有比眼下更好的時機了。”

"No matter what, if your ambition is to improve the world, this is the best time and the best place to do it."

“無論什麼樣，如果你的雄心壯志是要讓世界更好，那麼現在就是去放手乾的最好時機、最好環境了。”
