著名社交網站Reddit的網友Aerrix可能是這個圣誕假期最開心的人：她在神秘禮物傳遞網上偶遇的神秘圣誕老人居然是比爾·蓋茨！而且，還從蓋茨那里收到了一大堆禮物！Aerrix和網友分享了收到禮物的經歷。

Be prepared. Your Secret Santa will probably disappoint you this year, cause your Secret Santa isn't Bill Gates.
準備好啦。今年，你的神秘圣誕老人可能會讓你失望了，因為他不是比爾?蓋茨。

A Reddit user named Aerrix says the world's richest man -- worth a cool $75 billion, in case you've forgotten -- sent her gifts last week through Reddit's Secret Santa Gift exchange.
紅迪網的用戶Aerrix稱，這位世界上最富有的人上周通過紅迪網“神秘圣誕老人的禮物”傳遞活動給她送了禮物——以防你不記得，提醒一下比爾?蓋茨的身價高達750億美元。

The gifts were awesome, and she was a little bit excited about it. We know this because about half of the words in a post she wrote about it were in all caps.
比爾?蓋茨的禮物棒極了，Aerrix因此有點激動。我們之所以會知道這點，是因為她的帖子中近一半的單詞都是大寫的。

Aerrix wrote of getting a mysterious box -- a "freakin' HUGE BOX," she called it -- of opening it and seeing a picture of Gates in a Santa hat on top, of calling her husband and blurting out the news -- "BILL GATES IS MY FREAKIN SANTA!!!!!!!" -- and of course, going through and unwrapping these gifts of pure joy.
Aerrix在帖子中描寫了她得到的神秘盒子——她稱之為一個“大得驚人的盒子”，她還寫道打開盒子后看到一張蓋茨戴著圣誕帽的照片，她立即叫來老公告訴他這個消息——“比爾?蓋茨居然是我的圣誕老人?。。?！”當然帖子里還寫了他們非常開心地拆禮物。

She loved them, because Gates, the Microsoft founder and philanthropist, did his homework. You see, Aerrix loves stuff like video games and the Legend of Zelda. It says so on her Reddit Gifts profile page, which Gates obviously read, because he loaded her up with all kinds of goodies like:
因為這位微軟創(chuàng)始人兼慈善家蓋茨做足了功課，所以Aerrix非常喜愛這些禮物。Aerrix的紅迪網禮物資料頁上寫著，她喜歡電子游戲和《賽爾達傳說》這類東西。蓋茨肯定讀過她的資料，因為他送給Aerrix的各式各樣的禮物包括：

the matching Zelda mittens for her and her dog ...
為Aerrix和她的狗狗準備的同款賽爾達手套……

and the Minecraft edition Xbox One (with three wireless controllers) ...
一臺Minecraft版的Xbox One游戲機（配有三個無線游戲控制器）……

and the Harry Potter slippers ...
哈利?波特款拖鞋…

and the Cajun cookbooks (because she's from southern Louisiana and hasn't forgotten her roots) ...
法餐食譜（因為Aerrix來自路易斯安納州南部，而她一直思念著自己的故鄉(xiāng)）…

and a Legend of Zelda master sword (it's made out of paper) ...
《賽爾達傳說》中的大師劍（用紙做的）……

and the photoshopped picture of Aerrix, her husband and Gates in a cute as pie Zelda frame.
以及一張將Aerrix和丈夫以及蓋茨P在一起的照片，而且照片被放在了一個可愛的賽爾達相框里。

But Gates wasn't done, she wrote. He also made a donation in her name to code.org, which helps students learn about computer science.
Aerrix寫道，但這還沒完事兒。蓋茨還以她的名字向code.org捐款，這家網站幫助學生了解計算機科學。

"Which is AWESOME because it's something near and dear to my heart as my husband is a programmer and my brother has a degree in computer science!" she wrote.
她稱，“這個禮物太棒了，它對我來說是非常親密的禮物，因為我的丈夫是一名程序員，而我弟弟擁有計算機科學學位！”

This Secret Santa stuff is nothing new for Gates though. He's has been doing this since at least 2013.
“神秘的圣誕老人”活動對蓋茨并不是什么新鮮事兒。至少從2013年起，他就在做這件事了。

And he's not the only celebrity doing the Santa thing. Other celebs like Alyssa Milano and Snoop Dogg have also taken part in Reddit's Secret Santa exchange.
而他也不是唯一一個當圣誕老人的名人。艾莉莎?米蘭諾、史諾普?道格等其他名人也參加了紅迪網的“神秘圣誕老人”傳遞活動。

So it makes you wonder for next year ... is Warren Buffett on Reddit?
人們因此好奇明年沃倫?巴菲特會來紅迪網嗎？
