近日，亿万富翁比尔·盖茨承认，他并不打算在离婚后搬离西雅图的“巨大”豪宅，并坚称他“无法”想象自己住在其他地方，尤其是（比这）更小的地方。
以下是《旧金山门户网》报道：
Billionaire Bill Gates Reveals Why He Will Never 'Downsize' His 'Gigantic' $130 Million Xanadu 2.0 Mansion as He Discusses Life After Divorce
Billionaire Microsoft founder Bill Gates has admitted that he has no plans to move out of his "gigantic" $130 million custom-built Seattle megamansion after his divorce from wife Melinda insisting he "can't" imagine himself living anywhere else, particularly anywhere smaller.
亿万富翁微软创建者比尔·盖茨承认，他不打算在他与妻子梅琳达离婚后搬离他在西雅图定制的价值1.3亿美元的“巨大”豪宅，并坚称他“无法”想象自己住在其他地方，尤其是（比这）更小的地方。
The 69-year-old, who currently has a net worth of $166 billion, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, is certainly no stranger to luxury, having once held the title of richest man in the world.
据彭博亿万富翁统计，现年69岁的比尔·盖茨目前拥有1660亿美元的净资产。当然，他对奢侈品并不陌生，曾经拥有世界首富的头衔。
在接受《纽约时报》采访时，盖茨坦率地谈到了2021年5月与结婚27年的梅琳达的分开，称离婚是“我最后悔的错误”。
以下是《旧金山门户网》报道：
But while his wealth has since been eclipsed by the fortunes of other tech moguls like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, Gates has confessed that he has no plans to cut back on the luxuries that he has become accustomed to over the years even after his former spouse moved out of their longtime marital home.
虽然他的财富在埃隆·马斯克、杰夫·贝佐斯和马克·扎克伯格等科技巨头的财富面前黯然失色，但盖茨承认，即使在他的前妻搬出他们长期居住的家之后，他也没有计划削减多年来他已经习惯的奢侈品。
In an interview with The Times, Gates candidly spoke out about his May 2021 split from Melinda, to whom he had been married for 27 years, describing the divorce as the "mistake I most regret."
在接受《纽约时报》采访时，盖茨坦率地谈到了2021年5月与结婚27年的梅琳达的分开，称离婚是“我最后悔的错误”。
在这个豪宅里，盖茨夫妇养育了三个孩子。尽管他的孩子和前妻不再住在曾经的家庭基地里，盖茨表示他永远不会搬到更小的房子里。
以下是《旧金山门户网》报道：
For much of their marriage, the former couple lived inside Gates' 66,000-square-foot compound in Medina, WA, which is referred to as "Xanadu 2.0" in a reference to a fictional estate that features in the movie "Citizen Kane."
在他们婚姻的大部分时间里，这对前夫妇住在盖茨位于华盛顿州麦地那的66000平方英尺的大院里，这里被称为“世外桃源2.0”，参考了电影《公民凯恩》中一个虚构的庄园。
It was here that the duo raised their three children, Phoebe, 22, Rory, 25, and Jennifer, 28, all of whom have since spread their wings and moved into their own homes.
这对夫妇在这里养育了三个孩子：22岁的菲比、25岁的罗里和28岁的詹妮弗。他们都已经展翅高飞，搬进了自己的家。
But though the home that once served as a base for his family is no longer occupied by his children or his former wife, Gates told the outlet that he cannot ever see himself moving to a smaller property, particularly given that his three kids still enjoy visiting their childhood home whenever possible.
但是，尽管他的孩子和前妻不再住在曾经作为家庭基地的房子里，盖茨告诉媒体，他永远不会搬到更小的房子里，特别是考虑到他的三个孩子仍然喜欢一有机会就去他们童年的家看一看。
