Bill Gates

Everyone has heard of Bill Gates, the richest person in the world.

Microsoft, the business he started with a friend in 1975, has become

the world’s largest computer software company, and Gates was the

world’s youngest billionaire at the age of 31.

比尔 · 盖茨 每个人都听说过比尔 · 盖茨，他是世界上最富有的人。他和朋友 1975年创办的企业——微软——已经成为了世界上最大的计算机软件公司。比尔 · 盖茨 31 岁成了全球最年轻的亿万富翁。

His full name is William Henry Gates ,and he was born on October Ⅲ28th,1955,in Seattle, USA. At school, Bill soon showed that he was very intelligent, and was especially good at math and science. His parents decided to send him to Lakeside, the school where he first began to use computers. 13-year-old Bill Gates and his school friend Paul Allen were soon spending all their time writing programs and learning about computers instead of doing their homework!

他的全名是威廉 · 亨利 · 盖茨Ⅲ，他 1955 年 10 月 28 号出生在美国的西雅图。上学的时候，他是一个非常聪明的学生，数学和科学特别好。他的父母决定送他去湖畔学校读书，那里是他第一次开始使用电脑的学校。 13 岁的比尔 · 盖茨和他的校友保罗 · 艾伦就将时间都花在编程和学习计算机上了，而不是做家庭作业。

Back

After finishing school in 1973, Bill went to Harvard, America’s best-known university. The next year, he and Paul Allen wrote an operating program for Altair, one of the world’s first microcomputers. The two friends started Microsoft in 1975, and then Gates left Harvard. Before long, Microsoft became a big success. Since then, the company has continued to grow, making most of the world’s leading PC software. One reason for his success is that Gates has always been very ambitious and hardworking. This has not left him much time for a normal personal life, but in 1994 he married Melinda French, a Microsoft employee, and in 1995 he wrote his best-selling book, The Road Ahead.

1973 年中学毕业后，比尔上了美国最著名的哈佛大学。第二年，他和保罗 ·艾伦为 Altair 编写操作程序， Altair 是世界上首批微软计算机中的一类。他俩 1975 年创办了微软公司，然后盖茨从哈佛大学辍学了。不久后，微软公司取得巨大的成功。从那之后，公司规模越来越大，制造了全球大多数的领先的操作平台。盖茨成功的一个原因就是他既有雄心壮志又能勤勉工作。这样一来就导致他没有时间来打理自己的私事。但 1994 年他跟微软的一名员工梅琳达结婚了， 1995年写了他最畅销的一本书 ---- 未来之路。

Bill has mixed feelings about spending so much time running Microsoft. “There are a lot of experiences I haven’t had, but I do like my job,” he says. When he does find time to take a rest, he likes sports and reading about science. For such a rich person, his life is simple, and he spends little money on himself and his family. When it comes to helping others, though, Gates is very generous. He has already given a lot of money to charity, and says that he plans to give away almost all of his money when he retires.

花了如此之多的时间来经营公司，盖茨也觉得很矛盾。他说“我还有很多事情都没经历过，但我的确是喜欢我的工作。 " 他在空余时间喜欢运动，阅读有关科学的书籍。尽管他很富有，但他的生活却很简单，他很少在自己和家人身上花钱。然而，只要是帮助别人，盖茨都很慷慨大方。他为慈善机构捐款甚多，他还说等退休之后想将自己所有的资产全都捐给他人。

Back

September 30, 2014

Dear Michael,

I am glad to receive your letter of September 12, in which you asked me about the secret of learning English. To tell the truth, as far as I know, there is no secret at all and whatever secrets there may be summed up in one word. That is practice. Learning a language is not just a matter of knowing a set of rules and building up a number of isolated words. English is not a “subject” like philosophy, but a “skill” like swimming. You learn to swim by getting into the water. The same is true of learning a language.

Back

The usual aims in learning English are to understand spoken English, to speak English correctly, to read English with ease and to write it with accuracy. So we should learn to use English, not learn about English. The reason why you often forget what you are learning is that you maybe don’t practice using it enough. Since you often make mistakes in your speech and writing, you ought to speak and write more. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Practice makes perfect and mistakes are an essential part of learning a language. That’s my experience in learning English. I hope that both of us will make great progress and exchange our experience in studies.

Yours,

Philip

If I regard the two policemen as four, then I am drunk.”“But, dad,” the boy said, “There’s only ONE policeman!”
