推薦人: 來源: 閱讀: 3.02W 次

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg just had a baby girl named Max, and to honor the occasion he's giving away a massive portion of his wealth.
臉書CEO馬克·扎克伯格爲自己剛出生的女兒取名“Max”,爲了紀念女兒出生,他捐出大部分財產。

The tech leader took to the social network Tuesday to announce the birth of his first child and the formation of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. The announcement was framed as a letter written by Zuckerberg and wife, Priscilla Chan, to their new baby girl.
這位技術領航者週二在社交網絡上宣佈,自己第一個孩子出生;同時他也宣佈成立陳·扎克伯格計劃。這份聲明由扎克伯格和妻子普莉希拉·陳共同書寫,被當做送給新出生女兒的一封信。

"For your generation to live in a better world, there is so much more our generation can do," Zuckerberg wrote. "Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges."
“爲使得你們這代人的世界更美好,我們這代人可以貢獻很多,”扎克伯格寫到。“今天,你的媽媽和我決定將終身致力於解決這些問題。”

According to the Facebook head, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative will focus on "personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities.
"據臉書高管透漏,陳·扎克伯格計劃將致力於“個性化學習、治療疾病、聯繫他人和建立強大的社區”上。

Zuckerberg and Chan will donate nearly all of their Facebook stock to the cause.
扎克伯格和妻子幾乎會將他們所有股份都捐贈給這項事業。

"We will give 99% of our Facebook shares -- currently about $45 billion -- during our lives to advance this mission," he wrote. "We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others."
“致力於這項事業期間,我們將捐出99%的臉書股票,目前市值約爲450億美金”他寫到。“我們很清楚,與其他已經致力於這項事業的人們相比,我們這些付出算不了什麼。但我們想盡自己一份力,和其他人一起努力”。

As Business Insider noted, Mark Zuckerberg signed the Giving Pledge in 2010, which meant he committed more than half of his wealth to philanthropy or charity. The Giving Pledge was started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett -- which is suitable given that Zuckerberg has said that Gates was his hero.
《Business Insider》(美國知名的科技博客、數字媒體創業公司、在線新聞平臺)提到,馬克·扎克伯格在2010年就簽訂了《捐贈誓言》,這就意味着他要把自己超過一半的財產用於慈善事業。《捐贈宣言》由比爾·蓋茨和沃倫·巴菲特共同發起。因爲扎克伯格曾經說過蓋茨是自己的英雄,所以他簽訂捐贈宣言也就顯得很合理了。
