比爾·蓋茨連發14條推文爲畢業生提供建議

Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has offered the many thousands of graduates currently streaming out of U.S. colleges some career and life advice.

近日，億萬富翁慈善家比爾·蓋茨向數千名美國大學畢業生提供了一些職業及生活的建議。

Over a series of 14 tweets posted last Monday, the world's richest man used the words "impact," "happiness," and "progress." He did not mention money.

作爲世界上最富有的人，他在上週一的14條推特中使用了“影響”、“幸福”、“進步”等詞語。唯獨沒有提及“金錢”。

Instead, he told the graduates what jobs he would be looking for if he started out today.

相反，他告訴畢業生，如果他從今天開始找，會找什麼工作。

"AI, energy and biosciences are promising fields where you can make a huge impact," he wrote.

“人工智能、能源和生物科學是充滿希望的領域，你在這些領域可以產生巨大的影響，”他寫道。

Earlier this year, Gates—who famously dropped out of Harvard to found Microsoft—said that artificial intelligence had "phenomenal" potential, and "anything connected with that would be an exciting lifetime career."

從哈佛大學退學、創建了微軟額蓋茨在今年年初表示，人工智能具有“驚人的”潛力，“與此相關的任何事情將會是一個令人興奮的終身職業”。

In the same speech at Columbia University, he said there is a huge growing demand in the energy sector to develop "reliable, cheap, and clean" energy.

在哥倫比亞大學的同一篇演講中，他表示，能源部門開發出“可靠，廉價，清潔”能源的需求量有了大幅增長。

As well as urging new graduates to surround themselves with "people who challenge you, teach you, and push you to be your best self," Gates reminded them to think of others, especially the less fortunate.

除了敦促新畢業生密切接觸“挑戰你的人，教你並推動你成爲你最好的自己的人”，蓋茨還提醒他們要爲別人着想，特別是不那麼幸運的人。

He wrote that it had taken him decades to learn about the world's worst inequities and described this lack of early understanding as his one big regret.

他寫道，自己花了幾十年時間來了解世界上最嚴重的不平等現象，並將缺乏對此的早期認識描述爲他的一大遺憾。

"You know more than I did when I was your age," he wrote. "You can start fighting inequity, whether down the street or around the world, sooner."

他寫道：“與我的同齡時期相比，你們知道得更多。你可以更早地開始爲不平等而戰，無論是在街上還是在世界各地。”
