Prince Alwaleed 沙特王子.doc

Prince Alwaleed 沙特王子 2：00 a.m. in the Arabian desert，the worldlsquo;s fifth richest man sits alone. A rare moment of tranquility. Who is this man?What is he thinking?Why is he here? 清晨两点的阿拉伯沙漠，全球第五巨富独自坐在那儿。这刻宁静对他来说并不常有。这人是谁?他在想什么?他为何在这儿? He is His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud，nephew of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia，grandson of the countrylsquo;s founder，grandson also of the founder of modern day Lebanon. Just 44 years old，his net worth tops $20 billion. 他就是奥瓦里宾塔拉宾阿杜拉西斯沃苏王子陛下，是沙特国王法赫德的侄子，沙特创建人的孙子，也是当今黎巴嫩创建人的外孙。年仅44岁，他的财富纯价值已高达200亿美元。 Mostly he lives here in a 460，000 square-foot palace he calls home. Quaint，it isnlsquo;t. Itrsquo;s 317 rooms，include 18 sitting rooms，15 dinning rooms，10 bedrooms，16 pantries，and one dozen elevators. The garage is big，too. It has to be to accommodate the Princelsquo;s hundreds of cars. And this is the Princersquo;s kitchenndash; a 30，000ndash; squarendash; foot facility with enough staff and equipment to feed more than a 1，000 people on any given day. And thatlsquo;s on top of 20 smaller kitchens scattered throughout the palace. The Princersquo;s bedroom is large，but his closet is larger. Among other things，it holds his 3，000 pairs of shoes，and hundreds of pairs of sunglasses. 许多时候，王子住在他称之为家的46万平方英尺大的宫殿里。不可思议吧。宫殿共317间，其中包括有18间起居室、15间餐室、10间卧室、16间食品室、以及12架电梯。车库也很大，用来停放王子的数百辆汽车。这是王子的厨房3万平方尺大小，工作人员和设备足以在任何一天接待逾千人。这间是分布于宫殿的20间小厨房中最大的一间。王子的卧室也很大，不过他的衣帽间则更大。别的不说，单鞋子就有3千双，太阳镜几百副。 Journalist：Do you think you live lavishly? 记者：你是否认为你生活得很奢侈? Prince：No I donlsquo;t thinkI live happily. Now，maybe to some people，itrsquo;s lavish，I would acknowledge that，but to me，I live happily. 王子：不，我不这么认为我生活得很幸福。我承认一些人会当这是奢侈。我则认为我是生活得很幸福。 This is the other Prince Alwaleed，a top minded negotiator and international investing sensation whose personal inverstment vehicle，Kingdom Holding Company，owns stakes in a litany of the worldlsquo;s best known brands.
