李泽楷:
我要做亚洲最大的互联网公司
....“他一天之内赚了他老子一辈子赚的钱”,这是媒体对香港首富李嘉诚的次子李泽楷的描述。的确,小李赚钱的速度达到顶峰时甚至可以令比尔·盖茨失色,那么他是怎样的一个人呢?他手下的员工对他有何评价?他的私生活又是怎么样的?以下这篇文章可以给你答案。
[1]
A big-spending bachelor known as "Superman Junior" has struck the
deal that may finally see him recognised as a tycoon in his own
right 『凭借自己的努力』 —
rather than just the high-flying 『抱雄心壮志的』
son of his father.
[1] 一个被人称做“小超人”的出手阔绰的单身汗做成了一单交易,这令他终于被承认为凭借自己的能力发迹的业界大亨——而不只是生活在父亲阴影下的雄心壮志的儿子。
[2]
Richard Li Tzar-kai has for years struggled to escape the shadow
of his famous family and is now on the road to eclipsing the success
of the man who made it all possible.
[2] 李泽楷为摆脱家族的阴影奋斗了几年,现在他的成功的光环快要将那个使之成为可能的人都笼罩住了。
[3]
"He wants to be the biggest in Hong Kong- he doesn't want people
to call him the second son of Li Ka-shing," an associate said yesterday.
[3] “他想成为香港的龙头老大——他不想被称做李家诚的小儿子,” 一位同事昨天说。
[4]
"From day one, he's wanted to show he can do it on his own."
[4] “从第一天起,他就想告诉世人他可以自己干。”
[5]
At 33, Richard Li has made almost as much money in a year as his
father did during 50 years as Hong Kong's property king; the value
of his company, Pacific Century, last month overtook that of global
Web giant amazon.com.
[5] 33岁的李泽楷在一年里几乎已赚了他父亲作为香港首富在过去的50年里赚的钱;他的公司 — 太平洋世纪——的价值在上个月超过了网络巨人amazon.com。
[6]
A television in his shower and a private jet used for urgent business
meetings are both testament to his vast wealth, which also funded
a private concert by Whitney Houston at his New Year's Eve party
last year.
[6] 他浴室里的电视和用作紧急商业用途的私人飞机是他巨额财产的证明,在去年的除夕夜上,他还出钱举行了一个晚会,其中有Whitney
Houston的私人音乐会。
[7]
"He flashes his money around 『胡乱花钱』
," a friend said.
"It's quite extravagant 『奢侈的;浪费的』
."
[7] “他花钱如流水,”一个朋友说。“非常奢侈。”

in one's own right

high-flying
* He seems to be a very pessimistic person, but actually he's a
high-flying guy.

get your salary.
(别到处乱花钱,还有10天才拿工资呢。)
怎么样,这篇文章还不错吧,虽然有人会说李泽楷有天生的优势,但是他的个人奋斗还是借得我们学习的,在某种程度上,他也应该是我们年青一代的学习榜样喔:)想认识他吗?发邮件给他吧,可惜他不搞个人网站,没必要,呵呵呵……
