盖茨夫妇因爱之名：巨富的爱心大行动（节选）
From Riches to Rags
从巨富到布衣
Imagine a kinder, humbler Microsoft--one designed to spend money, not make it. That"s the kind of philanthropy Bill and Melinda Gates have invented.
By AMANDA BOWER, AMANDA RIPLEY / NEW DELHI
想象一个仁爱、谦逊的微软——用心思考怎样合理的使用金钱而不是怎样去谋利，这是热衷于慈善事业的盖茨夫妇所创建的理念。
At least once a year, Bill and Melinda Gates like to take what they call a "learning tour" of the places that civilization has largely forgotten. On Dec. 6 in India, on the most recent of such visits, they left the five-star Taj Mahal Hotel in New Delhi, to which they had flown on their private jet the night before, and took a 20-minute drive to a slum colony in an area called Meera Bagh.
每年，盖茨夫妇都会至少进行一次被他们称作“学习之旅”的旅行，去探望那些被文明遗忘的地方。最近一次类似的旅行是12月6日在印度，他们离开了在前一晚乘坐私人飞机达到的新德里五星级酒店Taj Mahal，驱车20分钟前往某地区一个名为Meera Bagh的贫民窟
On the way there, through rickshaw traffic jams and past lumbering cows, a local doctor briefed them on the slum"s 9,000 residents and five health-care workers. Melinda listened intently with her eyebrows raised, as she almost always does, while Bill interrupted to ask the kinds of questions you would expect from a capitalist billionaire. "Who owns the land?" (The doctor wasn"t sure, but probably the government.) "How much do the health-care workers earn?" (Ten dollars a month.) "Is that a full-time job?" (No.)
穿过拥挤的人力三轮车，避开笨拙的牛群，在前往贫民窟的路上，一位本地医生为他们介绍这里九千名居民和五位医疗保健医生的基本情况。梅林达习惯性地轻蹙双眉，专注地听着。比尔则时不时提出几个问题，你完全可以想象比尔那种亿万富翁所关注的问题。诸如：“谁是这块地的所有者？”（医生也不确定，可能这块土地归政府所有。）；“医疗保健医生的收入如何？”（每月10美金。）；“是全职吗？”（不是的。）
There are many places the Gateses could go together for an adventure. As they tour hospitals and huts, they seem to delight in these escapades, not just because they are intellectually captivated by the scientific challenge of treating the diseases of the poor but also because they are convinced that they are living through a historic inflection point when medical breakthroughs could save the lives of millions. They see the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation not as a solution but as a catalyst for this progress: pumping resources and rigor into the fight just when scientists are inventing new tools. "This is a magic time in terms of the momentum we can get going," Bill says later from his hotel suite.
那里有很多地方等着盖兹夫妇去冒险。走访过医院和茅屋，他们似乎因为这些冒险行为而感到高兴，不仅是因为他们为科学挑战（医治穷人）的知性魅力所吸引，而且他们确信医药上的突破能够拯救数百万人类的生命，而自身正处在这一历史转折点。他们并没有把比尔盖茨伉俪基金会看成是一个解决方案而是一种用于此进程的催化剂：随时严阵以待，为科学家们的研发工作注入源源资金。“这是一个至关重要的时刻，只要有条件，我们就会继续前行。”之后比尔在酒店的套房中这样说到。
