巴菲特说道:"如果一天摄入2700卡路里,那么有四分之一来自可乐.因为我每天至少喝5罐12盎司的可乐,从不间断."

Bill Gates: Diet Coke

比尔·盖茨:健怡可乐

Warren Buffet isn't the only American millionaire with a vicious Coke habit. Microsoft founder Bill Gates, whose net worth is said to stand at $87 billion, is rarely seen without a can of Diet Coke. (That's despite Donald Trump never having seen a "thin person" drinking one, of course.)

巴菲特并不是唯一一个爱喝可乐的美国百万富翁.微软创始人比尔·盖茨(据说净资产高达870亿美元)手里经常拿着一罐健怡可乐(当然,这推翻了唐纳德·特朗普关于"从没见过身材苗条的人在喝健怡可乐"的言论.)

"Once I'm at the office, I usually open a can of Diet Coke," he blogged in 2014. "Over the course of the day I might drink three or four. All those cans also add up to something like 35 pounds of aluminum a year."

2014年,比尔·盖茨在博客上写道:"我只要一到办公室,就会开一罐健怡可乐,一天下来,我可能会喝三到四罐,而一整年下来,喝完的可乐罐子加起来有35磅那么重."

It's quite a habit, or was: last year Gates liquidated his stake in Coca-Cola Co. Maybe he kicked the can once and for all?

这完全是一种习惯,又或者曾经是一种习惯.去年,盖茨清算了他在可口可乐公司的股份.也许从此他再也不必喝可乐了.

Henry Ford: Weeds

亨利·福特:草

It must be a lot easier to amass great fortune if your food bill is minuscule, and they don't come much thriftier than Henry Ford, the original hipster, who mostly ate foraged weeds and shrubs.

如果你食物花销极小,要积聚大量财富一定轻松得多.在这方面,没有人比亨利·福特更节俭了,这位个性潮人主要吃草料和灌木叶.

"Lunch consisted of what Henry blithely called 'roadside greens.' These were simply assorted weeds, variously prepared as salads, or lightly-oiled, or even stewed – and often appearing in sandwiches," wrote Sidney Olson in his 1963 biography Young Henry Ford: A Picture History of the First Forty Years.

西德尼·奥尔森在1963年发表的《青年亨利·福特传:图说福特的前四十年》中写道:"亨利的午餐由各式各样的的野草组成,他却戏称它们为'路边蔬菜',这些野草可以用来制作沙拉,或者用少许油翻炒,甚至还可以炖.还经常被用来制作三明治."
