微软公司的联合创始人保罗·艾伦在美国西雅图病逝,终年65岁。请看本报昨日的报道: Paul G. Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft who helped usher in the personal computing revolution and then channeled his enormous fortune toward transforming Seattle into a cultural destination, died Monday in Seattle. He was 65. The cause was complications of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his family said in a statement. The disease recurred recently after having been in remission for years. He left Microsoft in the early 1980s, after the cancer first appeared, and, using his enormous wealth, went on to make a powerful impact on Seattle life through his philanthropy and his ownership of National Football League (NFL) and National Basketball Association (NBA) teams there, ensuring that they would remain in the city. 报道中的usher in就是“引入、开创”,例如: Pundits have long predicted that advances in genetics will usher in a golden age of individually tailored therapies. 专家们早就预测到,基因遗传学的发展会带来“私人定制”式医疗服务的黄金时代。 |
