世界上最慷慨的14人

分类: 英语文摘 

慈善事业每况愈下,富人们的财富和看法也是如此。
Charity is down, and so are the fortunes and perceptions of the rich.

不过,福布斯出炉了一个新排行榜,以便让我们对富人充满希望。这个“亿万捐款人”排行榜给那些总计捐出了(而不只是承诺要捐出)至少10亿美元的人排出了名次。榜单的一大优点就是捐款不一定非得是近期的。
But Forbes has come up with yet another list to give us hope for the wealthy. The 'Billion-Dollar Donors' ranks people who have given away (not just pledged) at least $1 billion in total. The great virtue of the list is that the gifts don't have to be recent.

有趣的是,在福布斯列出的全球793个亿万富翁中,只有14人上了“亿万捐款人”榜。
Interestingly, of the world's 793 billionaires, by Forbes' count, only 14 make the list.

在全球金融危机前卖掉了抵押贷款公司的亿万富翁银行家赫伯特•桑德勒(Herbert Sandler)说,我很吃惊只有这么点儿人上榜,这太丢脸了。
'I'm surprised there aren't more,' said Herbert Sandler, the billionaire banker who sold his mortgage company before the global financial crisis. 'It's a shame there aren't a lot more.'
