Nvidia 和軟銀老闆的「要是當初」故事
在東京的 AI 峰會上,Nvidia 老闆黃仁勳和軟銀老闆孫正義聊起一個錯過的機會,兩人回憶如果當年合作,今天或許會創造出一個超級科技公司。
At Nvidia’s AI Summit in Tokyo, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son shared a story about a big decision that didn’t happen.
- Summit: 在這裡的意思是「高峰會」或「高峰論壇」,指一個重要的會議,通常是由高層領導人參加的討論活動。這裡是指 Nvidia 在東京舉辦的 AI 高峰會。
Nearly ten years ago, Son offered Huang the money to buy Nvidia and take it private. However, Huang didn’t take the offer, and now both leaders look back on that missed opportunity with some regret.
-
Offered: 表示「提議」或「提出幫助」,暗示 Son 主動給予黃資金購買 Nvidia。
-
Take it private: 指將 Nvidia 從公開上市公司轉變為私人公司。「上市」則用 take it public。
-
Take the offer: 指「接受提議」或「接受邀約」,強調黃仁勳並沒有接受這個資金幫助。
-
Look back on: 表示「回顧」,指他們對當時未能成行的機會感到遺憾。
Son recalled that this offer came just after he acquired the tech company Arm in 2016. He suggested that they could have combined Nvidia with Arm to create a tech giant that could dominate everything from smartphones to AI machines.
-
Recalled: 表示「回憶起」或「回想起」,強調 Son 對當時情況的記憶。
-
Could have: 表示「本來可以」,用來描述過去未發生但有可能發生的事。
Huang admitted that he now regrets not accepting the offer, especially after Nvidia’s value has exploded in recent years. He joked with Son about “what could have been,” showing how timing and decisions are key in the fast-moving tech industry.
-
He joked with Son: 這裡是很多人會沒注意到的重點。黃仁勳沒有真的覺得遺憾,只是跟孫正義當作笑話講一講。
- What could have been: 指「本來可以發生的事」或「未實現的可能性」這裡表達對未能實現的可能性感到遺憾。
