At Saturday’s annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, the 94-year-old billionaire will mark 60 years in charge of what he built into a $1.15 trillion conglomerate.

本週六在內布拉斯加州奧馬哈舉行的年度股東會上，這位94歲的億萬富豪將迎來他執掌這家市值1.15兆美元集團的60週年。

Buffett will spend 4-1/2 hours fielding shareholder questions, which typically focus on Berkshire’s operating businesses, markets, the economy, life lessons, and the company’s future after the Oracle of Omaha departs.

巴菲特將花4.5小時回答股東提問，問題通常聚焦於柏克夏的營運業務、市場、經濟、人生哲理，以及當「奧馬哈先知」離開後的公司未來。

Berkshire’s businesses are disparate, and include Geico insurance, the BNSF railroad, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Dairy Queen, Fruit of the Loom, and retro brands such as Ginsu knives and the World Book Encyclopedia.

柏克夏有著多元事業，包含蓋可保險、BNSF鐵路、柏克夏能源、冰雪皇后、鮮果布衣，以及復古品牌如Ginsu刀具和世界百科全書。

For many, they serve as a proxy for the American economy.

對許多人而言，這些企業猶如美國經濟的縮影。
