Tracy:
You're a graduate from Renmin University of China, aren't you? 

你是中国人民大学的毕业生,对吗?
Jack:
Yes, I am. 

是的。
Tracy:
Do you know Zhang Lei? He's an alumnus of Renmin University. 

那你知道张磊吗?他是人大的校友。
Jack:
Sure. His $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has put him in the spotlight. 

当然知道。他捐了888.8888万美元给他曾经就读的耶鲁大学某学院,这件事已经使他成为了焦点人物。
Tracy:
So what do you think of his move? 

那你对他的举动有什么看法?
Jack:
Well, I think that's OK. After all, he has the right to do so. And that's purely his personal matter. 

我觉得没什么,毕竟他有权利这样做。而且这完全是他的私事。
Tracy:
If you were him, what would you do? 

如果你是他,你会怎样做?
Jack:
I would donate to Yale too. 

我也会捐给耶鲁。
Tracy:
Why? 

为什么?
Jack:
Yale University is privately-endowed, a larger part of financial aid comes from non-government organizations and individual donors. Renmin University, however, is state-supported. 

耶鲁大学是一所私立大学,大部分的财政资助都来自非政府组织或个人。而人民大学是由国家支持的。
