　　He also criticised Mr Gates and Mr Buffett for making a “shameful” visit to China in 2010. TheUS billionaires invited 50 wealthy Chinese to dinner in Beijing to spur charity in the country,which lacks a western-style tradition of philanthropy despite the rapid rise in wealth that hascome with its economic rise.

　　他还批评2010年盖茨与巴菲特的慈善中国行是在“羞辱”别人。这两位亿万富翁当时在北京邀请了50位中国富豪赴宴，以推动中国慈善事业的发展。尽管伴随着经济的腾飞，中国的财富迅速增长，但中国缺少西方式的慈善传统。

　　Hong Kong has had a stronger tradition of philanthropy than China thanks to tycoons such asLi Ka-shing, Asia’s richest man, and Sir Run Run Shaw, the media mogul who died earlier thisyear.

　　拜媒体大亨邵逸夫爵士(Sir Run Run Shaw)和香港首富李嘉诚(Li Ka-shing)等富豪所赐，香港的慈善传统要比中国内地深厚。邵逸夫爵士已于今年早些时候辞世。

　　But Rupert Hoogewerf, who publishes annual rankings of Chinese billionaires andphilanthropists, said the Chinese territory did not donate as much as might be expected giventhe amount of wealth that had been generated over the years.

　　然而，发布年度中国亿万富翁和慈善家排行榜的胡润(Rupert Hoogewerf)表示，考虑到多年来创造的财富总额，香港人的捐赠金额可能仍低于公众的预期。

　　“I have been surprised at the lack of public giving by Hong Kong families,” said Mr Hoogewerf,adding that the Chan family’s donations would generate more transparency aboutcharitable donations in Hong Kong.

　　胡润表示：“香港家族的公共捐赠之少让我感到意外。”他补充称，陈氏家族的捐赠会让香港的慈善捐赠变得更加透明。

　　The Chans made their Harvard donation in the name of their late father TH Chan, after whomthe public health school will be renamed. They have also donated money to the ChineseUniversity of Hong Kong.

　　陈氏兄弟是以他们已故的父亲陈曾熙(TH Chan)的名义向哈佛大学捐款的，哈佛大学公共卫生学院将易名为哈佛大学陈曾熙公共卫生学院。他们还向香港中文大学( Chinese University of Hong Kong)做出了捐赠。

　　Their huge Harvard endowment mirrors a trend in China where Mr Hoogewerf said anoverwhelming amount of philanthropy – which took off after the 2008 Sichuan earthquakethat destroyed hundreds of schools – is directed towards education.

　　陈氏兄弟向哈佛大学捐出的巨款反映出中国的一种趋势——胡润表示，在中国，有不计其数的慈善捐款正流向教育领域。中国的慈善捐款是在2008年造成数百所学校垮塌的四川大地震后开始增多的。
