臉書CEO的推薦書單

　　現在網上有各式各樣的書單，有的來自名校，有的來自名人。今天我們來看看facebook的創始人馬克·扎克伯格最喜歡的有哪些書。他山之石，可以攻玉，希望這些書也能夠成為我們人生道路上的精神食糧。

　　"The Aeneid" by Virgil

　　《埃涅阿斯紀》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.

　　馬克在高中學習拉丁語的時候第一次讀了《埃涅阿斯紀》，他清楚地記得特洛伊勇士埃涅阿斯對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：“時間無所邊界，偉大沒有盡頭。”在一次會議上，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.

　　上學的孩子都熟知特洛伊木馬的故事，但是維吉爾對這個神話故事的復雜細節做了描述。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.org. 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覺得卡德的書對孩子來說并不是最好的或說最令人興奮的選擇。但是，《衛報》等報刊媒體在給出的推薦閱讀書單中指出，安德·威金斯在戰斗學校的經歷包含了在遭受同學排擠時表現出的勇氣。小說曾獲雨果獎和星云獎，這樣的名氣讓父母們自己在讀這本書時都得考慮再三，給孩子看時也會考慮其主題是否適合。
