"聽君一席話，勝讀十年書。" 比爾蓋茨回答了關(guān)于美國工作被外包、青年從業(yè)人員在經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)下要如何應(yīng)對等問題，不知他對普羅大眾的建議會不會讓你受益非淺？點(diǎn)擊查看比爾蓋茨的十大人生定律（圖）

    比爾蓋茨的"金玉良言"

    We invited our viewers to send us video questions, iReports for you.And I'll get to a couple of them. This one from a woman named Hillary Ohm of Colville, Washington. She said she recently lost her job because Microsoft stopped contracting with her company because they didn't havea worldwide workforce, something like that.

    1. What do you think about the outsourcing of U.S. jobs? And do you think that this trend will continue in the future for Microsoft and its vendors?

    你如何看待美國的工作被外包？對于微軟和其供應(yīng)商來說，這個趨勢在將來會持續(xù)嗎？

    Well, Microsoft employs a higher percentage of people in the U.S. bya large amount than the portion of our sales that are in the U.S.

    微軟在美國雇傭的員工比例要比我們在美國雇傭的銷售人員高很多。

    We're a global company, and you've got to have salespeople and greatengineers from around the world contributing to those products.

    我們是全球公司，你必須要有來自世界各地的銷售人員和好的工程師來為我們產(chǎn)品服務(wù)。

    But we're a company whose labor base is overwhelmingly here. in theUnited States. And so issues like the quality of education are very important. You know, that's why I believe in that issue. Actually, the company gives a lot to those issues.

    但我們公司員工大本營還是在美國，像教育質(zhì)量這樣的問題很重要。我相信這個問題的價值，公司也對那些問題給予了很多考慮。

    And so, you know, actually, Microsoft, so far, has been able to beincrease employment. And so as a contributor to additional economicactivity. Part of that is because we do have worldwide sales, worldwidepresence. That means we're not exposed just to the one economy.

    實際上微軟至今還能增加雇員，也對額外的經(jīng)濟(jì)活動做出貢獻(xiàn)。部分原因是因為我們做全球銷售，我們不僅僅局限于一個國家。

    We have another I-Report question from Mark Merritt of Aurora, Colorado.

    2. As a young professional, with the economy the way it is, what doyou feel is the best method to stay above water and not lose hope?

    作為一個年青的專業(yè)人員，在這樣的經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)境中， 你認(rèn)為要脫離困境，保持希望的最好方法是什么？

    Well, I think people are being more careful about using credit cards and getting into debt.

    我認(rèn)為人們在使用信用卡和負(fù)債方面要更小心。

    I'm hopeful that people will invest in themselves, that is, get more education, because that's the thing that has the highest payoff, notjust economically, but in terms of the contribution you can make and interms of having a job that's stimulating and enjoyable for your entirelife. And, so, you know, if somebody thinking about going back toschool, even though, in the short run, that's -- that's hard for them,I would encourage them to do it.

    我很希望人們能投資自己，獲得更多的教育，因為那是最高的回報，不僅是在經(jīng)濟(jì)方面，而是就你所能做的貢獻(xiàn)和你能找到一個讓你終生興奮和愉悅的工作這兩方面來看的。如果有人考慮重返學(xué)校，即使是短期的，對于他們很難，但我將鼓勵他們?nèi)プ觥?/p>

    Thank you.
