facebook創(chuàng)始人馬克·扎克伯格的推薦書單

"The Aeneid" by Virgil

《埃涅阿斯紀(jì)》維吉爾

Mark first read the Aeneid while he was studying Latin in high school, and he recounted the story of Aeneas's quest and his desire to build a city that, he said, quoting the text in English, "knows no boundaries in time and greatness." At one of the product meetings, Zuckerberg also quoted some lines from the Aeneid.----from interview to The New Yorker.

馬克在高中學(xué)習(xí)拉丁語的時(shí)候第一次讀了《埃涅阿斯紀(jì)》，他清楚地記得特洛伊勇士埃涅阿斯對(duì)于建立自己城市的欲望和追尋，甚至能背誦其中的一些句子：“時(shí)間無所邊界，偉大沒有盡頭。”在一次會(huì)議上，扎克伯格還引用了其中的句子——引用自《紐約客》采訪。

Most schoolchildren know the basics of the Trojan horse, but Virgil outlines all of the intriguing details of myth and legend. While Virgil is no longer around to rejoice at his work's placement on numerous book lists, this unfinished epic poem is still worth a read after nearly 2,000 years of translations.

上學(xué)的孩子都熟知特洛伊木馬的故事，但是維吉爾對(duì)這個(gè)神話故事的復(fù)雜細(xì)節(jié)做了描述。雖然在眾多書單的推薦中維吉爾的書已不再被常常提及，但是這部史詩(shī)巨作還是十分值得一讀的。

"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card

《安德的游戲》奧森·斯科特·卡德　

Mark Zuckerberg listed this book as the only one on his Facebook profile.

這也是扎克伯格在他的臉書資料中列出的唯一一本書。

Sensitive parents may not find Card's work to be one of the best books (or most uplifting) for child reading, according to commonsensemedia. However, book recommendations from newspapers like The Guardian point out that Ender Wiggins' adventures while training at Battle School (to wipe out war-hungry aliens) include explorations into timeless virtues of courage in the face of peer exclusion. The book's prestigious accolades, such as the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, may make parents think twice about reading the book for themselves - as well as to find out if the themes are damaging to children or not.

比較敏感的父母可能會(huì)覺得卡德的書對(duì)孩子來說并不是最好的或說最令人興奮的選擇。但是，《衛(wèi)報(bào)》等報(bào)刊媒體在給出的推薦閱讀書單中指出，安德·威金斯在戰(zhàn)斗學(xué)校的經(jīng)歷包含了在遭受同學(xué)排擠時(shí)表現(xiàn)出的勇氣。小說曾獲雨果獎(jiǎng)和星云獎(jiǎng)，這樣的名氣讓父母?jìng)冏约涸谧x這本書時(shí)都得考慮再三，給孩子看時(shí)也會(huì)考慮其主題是否適合。
