"Sir"
It's because he is an aggressive businessman, he gets what he wants using every tactic available. Wow! In 2006, his wealth was estimated at $53 billion, I can't even imagine that much money. I wonder what it would look like if it was all in cash. What people forget is that although he is an aggressive businessman, he is also very kind-hearted. He often donates considerable amounts of money to charity and has even set up his own charitable foundation. Yes, he and his wife Melinda, who he has three children with, created the foundation in 2000. They donate more than $1 billion each year. In 2005 he received an "honorary" knighthood from the Queen of England, a KBE or Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his services in reducing poverty and improving health in the developing countries of the world. It's the second highest order given out. He can't be a "Sir" though, because he isn't British. I think he deserved it. He does so much good work.
因为他是一个有野心的商人, 他会同有用的策略得到他想要的。 哇!在2006年, 他的财富估计达到530亿。我甚至都不能想象如此多的钱。我很好奇如果这么多钱全是现金的话,那将是什么样子的。 人们可能忘了尽管他是一个有野心的商人,他同时也是一位善心人士。他经常捐大量的钱财给慈善机构。他甚至成立了自己的慈善机构。 是的,2000年他和他的妻子米兰达以及他的三个孩子建立了这个机构,他们每年的捐款超过10亿。 2005年,英国女皇授予他骑士的荣誉--荣誉爵士勋,因为他为世界上发展中国家减少贫困,改善医疗做出了贡献。 这是第二大荣誉。尽管和不能被称为“Sir"因为他不是英国人,但是我认为他值得这个称呼,他做了如此多的好事。 ——译文来自: ALLENJIAN
