诺贝尔奖得主奖金都是怎么花的？

“我拿到那笔钱，然后就买了幢大点的别墅……真是个漂亮的老房子，他告诉法新社记者。他还说：“奖金是这个奖项的美妙之处，但重要的是，这个奖是一种认可。

For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clear-cut, as the honour tends to go to politicians, organisations and activists who are under more public scrutiny.

对于和平奖得主，奖金的去向则比较明确，因为得奖的往往是公众关注比较多的政治家、组织和活动家。

Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the European Union in 2012, donate to charities.

许多得主都将奖金捐赠给慈善机构，比如2009年获奖的美国总统奥巴马以及2012年获奖的欧盟。

Others support pet projects: the 2008 winner, former Finnish president Martti Ahtisaari, said he would finance a conflict resolution group he had set up.

也有人用在个人偏爱的项目上：2008年的得主、芬兰前总统马尔蒂•阿赫蒂萨里表示，他将资助自己成立的一个冲突化解组织。

But there has been one notable exception to the charitable giving.

但这项奖金也有个用于慈善之外的著名案例。

Former US president Woodrow Wilson won the prize in 1920 but left it in a Swedish bank to earn interest, apparently because he was concerned about life after retirement in an age when former presidents got no government pension, according to one biography.
