Billionaire financier Warren Buffett is encouraging the very wealthy to give away at least half their worth in their lifetimes through the "Giving Pledge," whose website lists such luminaries as Microsoft Corp's Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook Inc and Oracle Corp's Larry Ellison.

亿万富翁投资者“股神沃伦·巴菲特曾发起“捐款誓言活动，呼吁美国亿万富豪将至少50%的财富捐给慈善组织，如微软的比尔·盖茨、Facebook的马克·扎克伯格以及甲骨文软件公司的拉里·埃里森等都已出现在该活动网站的参与名单上。

While Cook's largesse could not begin to approach the scale of a Gates or Zuckerberg, both worth billions of dollars, the Apple CEO told Fortune he hopes to make a difference.

库克在慈善方面虽然不及两位亿万富翁盖茨和扎克伯格，但库克表示他希望做出些改变。

Cook, who is not listed on the website, is known as an intensely private person who shuns the spotlight on philanthropy.

“捐款誓言活动的网站名单上并没有库克，因为库克非常注重个人隐私，一向避免出现在慈善活动的聚光灯前。

In recent years, however, he has begun speaking out more openly about issues ranging from the environment to civil rights. Cook, who recently revealed he was gay, spoke out against discrimination of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual communities during his induction into the Alabama Academy of Honor last year.
