Oxfam, an organization that works to end poverty, has predicted the world will likely see its first trillionaire within 10 years.
乐施会是一个致力于消除贫困的组织，该组织预测，全世界可能会在10年内出现第一个万亿富翁。
The prediction comes as the world's wealthiest nations gather in Davos, Switzerland for both public and private meetings.
这一预测是在世界上最富有的国家齐聚瑞士达沃斯参加公开和私人会议之际做出的。
Leaders from more than 60 nations will be discussing issues including ongoing world conflicts, the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on businesses, climate change and the future of democracy.

Oxfam often points out the huge wealth differences between the world's richest and poorest.
乐施会经常指出，世界上最富有的人和最贫穷的人之间存在巨大的财富差距。
It noted these differences had become "supercharged" since the COVID-19 pandemic.
该组织指出，自新冠疫情爆发以来，这种差异化“加剧”。
Oxfam noted the five wealthiest people in the world had seen their worth increase by over 100 percent since 2020.
乐施会指出，自2020年以来，世界上最富有的五个人的财富增长了100%以上。
They include Elon Musk of Tesla, Bernard Arnault of the luxury goods company LVMH, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison of Oracle and Berkshire Hathaway chief Warren Buffett.
其中包括特斯拉的埃隆·马斯克、奢侈品公司路易威登的贝尔纳·阿尔诺、亚马逊的杰夫·贝索斯、甲骨文的拉里·埃里森和伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司的首席执行官沃伦·巴菲特。
Amitabh Behar is Oxfam's current director.

Behar said the world is entering a "decade of division."

The group's leader noted that while the five wealthiest people had doubled their worth since 2020, "almost 5 billion people have become poorer."
该组织的领导人指出，尽管自2020年以来，最富有的五个人的财富翻了一番，但“近50亿人变得更穷了。”
Behar predicted that in about 10 years, the world will have its first trillionaire.

万亿富翁指的是身价1万亿美元的人。
Behar noted that the fight against poverty would take much longer, at least 200 years.
贝哈尔指出，与贫困作斗争需要更长的时间，至少需要200年。
The organization said it is possible the person who becomes the first trillionaire is not currently known, meaning the individual may not be one of the five wealthiest people today.

This is because many poor nations could not provide financial support to their people when economies slowed down due to COVID-19.
