据《福布斯》杂志报道，截至周四收盘时，亚马逊创始人兼首席执行官杰夫·贝佐斯成为世界第三富豪，超过了伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司创始人兼首席执行官沃伦·巴菲特。
Bezos’ fortune was $65.3 billion as of 4:30 p.m. EDT (2030 GMT), compared with Buffett’s $64.9 billion.
截至美国东部夏令时下午四点半（格林威治时间晚上八点半），贝佐斯的财富总额达到653亿美元，而巴菲特的财富总额为649亿美元。
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates remained the world’s richest person, at $77.7 billion, while Spain’s Amancio Ortega, who founded the Zara clothing chain’s owner Inditex SA, was second at $72.7 billion. Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s co-founder and chief executive, was fifth at $54 billion.

Bezos, 52, owns close to 18 percent of Amazon. Its stock has risen by roughly 50 percent since early February. The world’s largest online retailer has continued to upend retailing as more people take to the Web rather than the mall to shop.
现年52岁的贝佐斯掌握了亚马逊将近18%的股份。自二月初以来，该公司股价上涨了将近50%。随着人们越来越倾向于网购而不是去实体店购物，这家世界最大的网上零售商正在慢慢颠覆零售的定义。
Amazon’s share price rose further in after-hours trading, after the Seattle-based company reported better-than-expected second-quarter results.
在总部位于西雅图的亚马逊公司发表了好于预期的第二季度财报之后，该公司的股价又在盘后交易中上涨了。
Buffett, 85, owns close to 18 percent of Berkshire, but his donation this month of $2.86 billion of Berkshire stock to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and four family charities led to his drop to fourth place. He has donated more than $24.3 billion to the Gates Foundation and family charities since 2006.
现年85岁的巴菲特掌握了伯克希尔近18%的股份，但是这个月他把伯克希尔股份中的28.6亿美元捐给了比尔及梅琳达盖茨基金和四家家庭式慈善机构，这导致他的财富总额下降到了第四位。自2006年以来，他已经向比尔及梅琳达盖茨基金和家庭式慈善机构捐赠了超过243亿美元。
Berkshire is based in Omaha, Nebraska, and has roughly 90 business units, including Geico car insurance, the BNSF railroad and Dairy Queen ice cream.
伯克希尔位于内布拉斯加州奥马哈市，拥有近90个商业单位，包括盖可汽车保险公司、伯灵顿北方圣太菲铁路公司（BNSF）以及冰雪皇后冰淇淋（DQ）。
In June, Buffett called Bezos a "classic example" of how a business owner could thrive, by having focused at Amazon on how to "delight" customers and keep them coming back, rather than simply process their orders.
六月份，巴菲特称贝佐斯是发展壮大的企业家的“典范”，他的亚马逊专注于让消费者“高兴”并留住他们，而不是单纯处理他们的订单。
