高端“面试”！NBA巨星库里面试 “求职者”比尔·盖茨：你期待的薪资是多少？（附视频&摘要稿）
英语演讲视频，第一时间观看
日前，金州勇士队超级巨星斯蒂芬-库里参加一档访谈节目，通过视频会议的形式，与亿万富翁比尔-盖茨进行对话。两人围绕着新冠疫情、种族不公、互联网虚假信息、粮食安全、教育差距等问题展开了深度探讨。
在对话的一开始，库里就向比尔-盖茨抛出了一些问题，让他给一些初入职场的年轻人提供建议。
当然，他们的主要讨论还是围绕着新冠疫情以及种族不公所展开。比尔-盖茨表示自己很早就意识到新冠疫情的严重性：“我是最早发出警示的人之一。即便是我，也没有意识到其中会产生的一些不公平问题，包括不同人种的感染率和死亡率。”
库里分享了一组数据：“在新冠肺炎患病率上，黑人是白人的2.6倍，拉美裔则是白人的2.8倍。从你的角度来看，我们应当如何遏制这种情况，把适当的资源用在适当的地方？”盖茨则表示：“有色人种获得新冠检测的机会仍然远远小于普通的美国人。这太不公平了。很遗憾的是，通过警察执法我们也看到了种族不公的问题。我们正经历着疫情的肆虐，它正在扰乱着社会，甚至会导致倒退。因此，希望我们从这些悲惨事实中加强认识，促使我们解决新冠疫情问题，并更深刻审视种族差距问题。”
作为NBA巨星，库里越来越注重于利用自身的影响力去关注社会问题、政治问题，并积极发声。一直以来，库里就是特朗普的反对者。早在今年3月份，库里就与权威专家安东尼-福奇就新冠疫情进行了探讨，借此也积极呼吁人们要重视疫情。今年6月份，库里也在湾区参加了反对种族歧视的游行。
Stephen Curry is launching a series of long-form interviews focused on the global pandemic and voting ahead of November’s election, the most recent move by an NBA star into civic engagement.
The first video, released Tuesday on Curry’s YouTube channel, is a 20-minute conversation with Bill Gates in which they talk about the economic fallout from the novel coronavirus. Future conversations include a discussion with Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about how society will emerge safely from the pandemic. Another is with Stacey Abrams, a voting rights activist and former Democratic Senate candidate in Georgia, about voter suppression and registration. Several others are in the works, Curry said.
“We’re trying to bring a conversation and hope people get some actionable items and just information. Because that’s power at the end of the day,” Curry said in an interview with The Washington Post.
During his discussion with Abrams, Curry asks about the importance of voting and what it means to vote for a third party and seeks instructions about how to register. Fauci offers safety tips for getting through the pandemic. Gates offers advice for young people going on job interviews. (At Microsoft, he says, ask for stock options.)
Curry has publicly criticized President Trump in the past, but the videos, he said, are meant to be more informational than to make a political statement.
“It’s no secret who I endorse in this presidential election: Joe Biden and Kamala [Harris],” Curry said. “But in terms of how you present that information and backing it up with reason and logic when it comes to the why, it always comes with a tone of respect. I think there’s a lot of hate on either side of the conversation right now and a lot of noise that comes with that hate. But you can endorse a candidate and still foster a conversation.”
He added: “It doesn’t have to be all that throwing fire at everything. I can ridicule everything that’s gone on in the White House, but at the end of the day it’s about speaking on what you believe, fighting for what you feel like is right.”
Curry’s Golden State Warriors did not participate in the NBA restart this summer and fall, but the league’s bubble was heavy on social justice messaging, which Curry said he watched with pride. Of the players’ brief work stoppage early in the playoffs, Curry said he wasn’t privy to the conversations among the players but saw the end result as a win.
“Once they did start to boycott and the chaos that first day, the onus to get something out of it or some actionable item or tangible item that’s going to help the situation was important,” he said. “So even though it was only for two days, we got something out of it. Now you’re seeing NBA stadiums in each market being used as a voting site.”
The league’s coordinated push for social justice has drawn criticism from the political right, including the White House, where Trump has seized on down television ratings to attack the league. Curry dismissed it.
“It’s not like we haven’t been in that conversation for a very long time and used our platform for a very long time,” Curry said. “Guys haven’t gone to the White House in years. It’s not going to stop. … But, again, it’s how we handle ourselves and continue to speak up. The league is going to be fine.”
Curry filmed an interview with Fauci that aired on his Instagram account at the beginning of the pandemic. After a positive reaction, he said, he wanted to build on it. He founded a production company, Unanimous Media, a few years ago, so “the infrastructure was in place,” Unanimous co-founder and head of content Erick Peyton said. “These are the kinds of ideas we want to develop.”
Given his interest in civic discourse, Curry was asked whether he had any interest in politics. He didn’t immediately dismiss the idea of running for office one day.
“If you asked me three years ago if I was going to sit down with Bill Gates, Dr. Fauci and Stacey Abrams, I would have laughed at you,” he said. “So, I mean, who knows?”
