18日APEC工商领导人峰会期间,美国总统奥巴马向阿里巴巴创始人马云提出了几个问题。
During the APEC CEO Summit on Wednesday, US President Barack Obama addressed questions to Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba.
奥巴马问马云他认为政府和大公司应该如何帮助年轻的创业者。
Obama probed Ma on how he thought government and established businesses could help young entrepreneurs.
马云说:"政府很简单,减税就好了,或者干脆别对年轻创业者收税。"
"Government is simple - just reduce the tax, or no tax, for these guys," Ma responded.
奥巴马风趣地回应说:"你得到了你CEO同行的欢呼。"
"You got a lot of cheers from your fellow CEOs," Obama quipped in response.
奥巴马和马云还就气候变化问题进行了探讨。
They also addressed the issues of climate change.
马云说,过去六年他们都把公司总营收的千分之三捐献出来,鼓励年轻人找到解决气候变化和其他环境问题的方法。
Ma said Alibaba had been putting 0.3% of the company's total revenue for the past six years towards encouraging young people to find solutions to climate change and other environmental issues.
