比尔盖茨变身圣诞老人
　　For the second straight Christmas, Microsoft co-founder William Henry "Bill" Gates III made a Redditor very happy not only by granting her Christmas wish, but also by donating to worthy causes in her name。

　　连续第二个圣诞节，微软创始人之一威廉·亨利·“比尔”·盖茨三世让一名Reddit(社交新闻网站)的用户非常开心，不仅仅是因为比尔盖茨实现了她的圣诞愿望，还因为他用她的名义进行了捐助。

　　Gates played a Secret Santa in this year's Reddit's Secret Santa gift exchange, an online gift exchange since 2009 that connects Internet strangers。

　　盖茨扮演今年Reddit网上神秘的圣诞老人进行礼物交换——这是从2009年就开始的在陌生网友之间进行的在线礼物交换活动。

　　His beneficiary, a 25-year-old Loki fan named Calid7, got not just her wish—a Loki helmet—but also a book of pictures of Africa and a donation in her name to a vaccine program for children in poor countries。

　　他的受益人——网名叫Calid7的25岁洛基粉丝，不仅拿到了梦寐以求的洛基头盔，得到了一本非洲新书，还有以她名义为贫穷国家的儿童捐助的疫苗项目。

　　"The amazing human being Bill Gates sent me a Loki Helmet which i have been dying to own ever since the first Thor movie came out!! He read my 'pie in the sky wish' that i filled out in my questionnaire and fulfilled it! I also got an amazing coffee table book of gorgeous pictures of Africa (somewhere i desperately want to go, its on my bucket list!) with an inscription and a Giant microbes polio virus stuffed animal!," Cali7 said。

　　“了不起的比尔盖茨送了我洛基的头盔！我从第一部《雷神》电影开始就好想好想要的头盔！！他读到了我在问卷里填写的‘天上掉馅饼愿望’并实现了它！我还拿到了一本超棒的包含非洲壮观景色的茶几书(我超想去非洲的，这个愿望都上了我的遗书清单！)，带有题词！还有一个小儿麻痹症病毒微生物的填充物！” Cali7说。

　　She was particularly pleased with the donation Gates made in her name to Shot@Life, a program that provides vaccines for children in poor countries。

　　她对比尔盖茨用她的名义向Shot@Life捐助尤其感到高兴，Shot@Life是一个向贫困国家儿童提供疫苗的项目。

　　"(I) can't even begin to describe how incredible it makes me feel knowing that he made this donation in my name! I always donate what i can for charities, it really makes me glow!" she said。

　　“我甚至不能描述，当我知道他用我的名字捐助的时候有多么难以置信！我总是尽我可能捐助慈善机构，这真的让我兴奋极了！”她说。
