Ma Huateng, chairman of China Internet heavyweight Tencent, has for the first time become the wealthiest person in all of Asia. It is also the first time he has ranked no. 1 in China.

　　中国互联网巨头腾讯老总马化腾首次登上亚洲首富宝座，这也是他本人第一次成为中国首富。

　　Monday’s 2.95% gain in the share price of Tencent at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange added nearly $1 billion to the fortune of Ma Huateng, who was worth an estimated $36.2 billion on the Forbes real-time billionaires ranking. That compares with $35.6 billion for Jack Ma, the chairman of Alibaba, who slipped to No. 2 from No. 1 richest in China.

　　周一腾讯在香港股票交易所的股价上涨了2.95%，为马化腾净赚了高达10亿美元的收益。现如今，据福布斯实时排行榜显示,马化腾个人财富已达到362亿美元，超越了阿里巴巴总裁马云的356亿美元，从第二一跃登顶首富宝座。

　　The rise of Tencent and Alibaba underscore the explosive growth in online services and content in China, the world’s most populous country and the nation with the world’s largest number of Internet users.

　　作为世界上的人口大国以及拥有数量最庞大互联网用户的国家，中国目前于在线服务和各项活动内容等方面发展十分迅速，腾讯和阿里巴巴的不断崛起恰好证明了这一点。

　　Whereas New York-listed Alibaba is best known for online commerce and the outgoing style of its high-profile chairman, Jack Ma, Tencent is listed in Hong Kong, the company is less well known outside of China, and is led by a lower key chairman with an engineering background.

　　阿里巴巴作为在美国纽约上市的大企业，其主打的电子商务在世界范围内都为人所熟知，老总马云更是凭借其善于言辞和行事高调的作风走遍全球。相比之下，腾讯仅在香港上市，在海外知名度较低，作为一名拥有工科背景的领导，其老总为人处事也相对低调。

　　Tencent boasts a wide array of popular services and products including payments and games, along with the popular social networking platform WeChat.

　　腾讯开拓了一系列网络服务并推出了诸如支付工具、网络游戏以及现如今最受欢迎的社交平台微信等在内的衍生产品，普遍受到大众欢迎。

　　Tencent’s chairman also moved past India’s Mukesh Ambani and Hong Kong’s Li Ka-shing to take the title of wealthiest person in the Asian region. He is now the 18th richest person in all the world, followed by Ambani at no. 19, Jack Ma at no. 20 and Li Ka-shing at no. 21. Only $1.3 billion separates Ma from Li, suggesting that these four Asian tycoons will likely be trading places in the wealth ranks in the coming days and weeks.

　　据悉，马化腾这次超越了印度穆克什·安巴尼和中国香港的李嘉诚，一举夺得了亚洲首富的称号。现如今，他在全球排名第18位，安巴尼紧随其后名列19位，马云和李嘉诚分列第20和21位。然而，马云和李嘉诚之间也只有13亿美元的差距，一定程度上也预示着在未来短时间内，这四位亚洲巨头在在富豪榜上的位置可能会风云莫测，不断变幻。
