臉書CEO馬克·扎克伯格2015年的新年決心就是每兩個禮拜讀一本重要的書,並且在網站的社區上討論。

Zuckerberg’s book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that affect society and the business community. He has broken up those heavy books with some lighter science fiction, Liu Cixin’s “The Three-body Problem.
扎克伯格的讀書俱樂部“讀書之年”聚焦影響社會和商界的偉大想法。他已經捨棄內容沉重的大部頭書,取而代之的是輕鬆愉悅的科幻小說——劉慈欣的《三體》。

It was first published in China in 2008, and the English translation that came out last year, won the 2015 hugo award for Best Novel.
《三體》出版於2008年,其譯本去年問世,獲2015年雨果獎最佳長篇小說。

臉書CEO強推《三體》:年度書單還有哪些?

Zuckerberg sci-fi picks can be lighter fare than his other options, but they all have some cultural significance.
比起馬克·扎克伯格選的其他書籍,科幻類相對內容輕鬆,但都頗具文化意義。

Zuckerberg, who learned Mandarin, has been a student of Chinese and chinese culture in recent years as he tried to persuade the Chinese government to give its 1.4 billion inhabitants access to their social networks.
馬克·扎克伯格學過普通話,因爲想說服中國政府讓其14億居民上他的社交網站,近幾年學起了中文和中國文化。

On his private Facebook page, he said: “the Three-body Problem” will be “a fun break from all the economic and social sciences books I’ve read recently.”He added that he will increase the pace of his book picks.
在他臉書個人頁面上,他寫道,“近來我讀經濟和社會科學,而‘三體問題’內容輕鬆有趣,可以作爲調劑。”他補充說道,他會加快選書的節奏。
