2016年6月20日,阿里巴巴总裁马云在第二十届圣彼得堡国际经济论坛上说,他最大的错误就是创立了阿里巴巴。
“My biggest mistake was that I made Alibaba. I never thought this thing would change my life. I was just trying to run a small business, and it grew that big, it brought about that much responsibility and brought about so much trouble.”
“我人生中最大的错误是创立了阿里巴巴。我从没想过阿里巴巴会彻底改变我的生活。我明明就是想做点小生意而已,没想到它会发展到这么大规模,带给我太多责任和麻烦。”
Jack Ma said if there was a next life, he would never do a business as big as Alibaba, “I want to be my own self, and I want to enjoy my life.”
马云说如果有来生,我再也不想做阿里巴巴这么大规模的生意了,“我只想做我自己,我只想享受我的生活。”
During his trip to the forum, Ma also met with a representative of the Russian Government. Ma said it was a productive discussion and helped Alibaba to promote more business opportunities in Russia. “I think the development of e-commerce will bring more job opportunities there.”
在论坛期间,马云还和俄罗斯政府代表进行了会面。马云说这次的论坛收获很大,给阿里巴巴创造了更多来自俄罗斯的商机。“我想电子商务的发展会给这片土地带来更多工作机会。”
A representative of the Russian Government claims that Alibaba and Tmall will soon set up offices in Russia.
一名俄罗斯政府代表表示阿里巴巴和天猫将会很快在俄罗斯设立办公室。
Russia, Europe, and Southeast Asia are strategic priority areas for Alibaba. Ma points out that the company values a lot of the countries along “one belt one road” since these places do have many good products but are facing trouble with selling due to limitedinfrastructure.
俄罗斯,欧洲以及东南亚都是阿里巴巴目前的战略重地。马云强调公司十分重视“一带一路”沿线的国家,因为这些国家有许多好的商品正由于基础设施的限制而面临着销售问题。
