微軟聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人比爾·蓋茨在2023年結(jié)束時(shí)做了他幾十年來一直喜歡做的“最后一件事”
Bill Gates didn't leave his Instagram followers puzzled about his end-of-year plans.
比爾·蓋茨并沒有讓他的Instagram粉絲對(duì)他的年終計(jì)劃感到困惑。
The 68-year-old billionaire capped off 2023 by posting an Instagram photo of himself working on a jigsaw puzzle on New Year's Eve.
這位68歲的億萬富翁在Instagram上發(fā)布了一張自己在除夕夜玩拼圖游戲的照片，為2023年畫上了句號(hào)。
"The last thing I have to finish before 2024," Gates wrote in the caption, alongside the image of his cozy setup at a table by a fireplace.
蓋茨在文字說明中寫道：“我最不想做的事就是在2024年之前完成。
Gates has been open about his love of puzzles and other brain-stimulating activities like Wordle. In a 2018 PEOPLE interview with Bill and Melinda Gates — before they divorced three years later — he said, "We do more jigsaw puzzles than most people."
蓋茨公開表示，他喜歡拼圖游戲和其他刺激大腦的活動(dòng)，比如Wordle。在2018年《人物》雜志對(duì)比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨的采訪中——三年后他們離婚了——他說：“我們做的拼圖游戲比大多數(shù)人都多。”
The NYE moment took place just days after the Microsoft co-founder reflected on how much spending time with his children has meant to him this year.
就在幾天前，這位微軟聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人反思了今年花時(shí)間陪伴孩子對(duì)他有多重要。
“It’s been a special joy to watch my children grow up to become invaluable sources of wisdom in their own right,” Gates wrote in his annual year-end blog post. “One of the highlights of my year was sharing the stage with Phoebe, my youngest, at the foundation’s Goalkeepers event.”
蓋茨在其年度年終博客中寫道：“看著我的孩子們成長(zhǎng)為寶貴的智慧源泉，我感到特別高興。”“我這一年的亮點(diǎn)之一是在基金會(huì)的守門員活動(dòng)中與我最小的菲比同臺(tái)演出。”
In September, the 21-year-old Stanford University student — who has used her prominent family's platform to advocate for a variety of issues — attended and moderated a panel at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Goalkeepers Foundation in New York City.
9月，這位21歲的斯坦福大學(xué)學(xué)生參加了比爾和梅琳達(dá)·蓋茨基金會(huì)在紐約市的守門員基金會(huì)的一個(gè)小組討論，并主持了該小組討論。
In the blog post, Gates said that he counts on his children — Jennifer Gates, 27, Rory Gates, 24, and Phoebe — to "keep me up to date on how young people see the world — and on the latest TikTok trends."
在博客文章中，蓋茨說，他指望他的孩子——27歲的詹妮弗·蓋茨、24歲的羅里·蓋茨和菲比——“讓我了解年輕人如何看待世界，以及TikTok的最新趨勢(shì)。”
"I’m looking forward to spending the holidays with them and recharging a bit," he added. “When I was my kids’ age, I didn’t believe in vacations or weekends. But as I got older — and especially since I became a father — I realized there is more to life than work.”
他補(bǔ)充道：“我期待著和他們一起度過假期，充電一點(diǎn)。”“當(dāng)我和孩子們一樣大的時(shí)候，我不相信假期或周末。但隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，尤其是當(dāng)了父親后，我意識(shí)到生活不僅僅是工作。”
This year, Gates has also stepped out several times with Paula Hurd, the widow of Oracle CEO Mark Hurd, who died in October 2019.
今年，蓋茨還多次與2019年10月去世的甲骨文首席執(zhí)行官馬克·赫德的遺孀保拉·赫德會(huì)面。

在他們的關(guān)系公開前幾個(gè)月，他們被發(fā)現(xiàn)在一起，包括在2022年9月的拉沃爾杯和2023年1月的澳大利亞網(wǎng)球公開賽上坐在一起。
News of the relationship broke about two years after Gates and ex-wife Melinda announced they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage.
大約兩年前，蓋茨和前妻梅琳達(dá)宣布結(jié)婚27年后離婚。
One major highlight of 2023 was that Gates became a grandfather when his eldest daughter welcomed her first child, a baby girl, into the world.
2023年的一大亮點(diǎn)是，蓋茨的大女兒迎來了她的第一個(gè)孩子，一個(gè)女嬰，蓋茨成為了一名祖父。

為了紀(jì)念9月的祖父母節(jié)，他在自己的Instagram頁面上發(fā)帖慶祝為人父母的快樂。他寫道：“成為祖父母給了我一個(gè)全新的視角來看待世界。”

這位億萬富翁補(bǔ)充道：“這讓我有動(dòng)力確保我的孫女——以及我們所有的孫子孫女——繼承一個(gè)比他們出生時(shí)更美好的世界。”
