>Gates unleashes mosquitoes

盖茨会场上放蚊惊名流

Microsoft founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full of mosquitoes at an elite technology conference to make a point about the deadly disease malaria (see photo). Gates then waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the freed insects were malaria-free. Gates retired as head of Microsoft last year to focus more on his foundation.

近日，为强调疟疾的危害性，微软创立者、慈善家比尔·盖茨在出席一个精英云集的技术大会时，突然在现场打开瓶子放飞了一群蚊子(见图)。大约一分钟后，盖茨才向紧张的听众保证，这些蚊子不带疟疾病毒。盖茨去年离开微软高位，将主要精力投入慈善。
