   Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s 2015 new year’s resolution was to read an important book every two week and discuss it with the Facebook community.


  脸书CEO马克·扎克伯格2015年的新年决心就是每两个礼拜读一本重要的书,并且在网站的社区上讨论。
  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 1 science fiction, Liu Cixin’s “The Three-body Problem.
  扎克伯格的读书俱乐部“读书之年”聚焦影响社会和商界的伟大想法。他已经舍弃内容沉重的大部头书,取而代之的是轻松愉悦的科幻小说——刘慈欣的《三体》。
  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.
  《三体》出版于2008年,其译本去年问世,获2015年雨果奖最佳长篇小说。
  Zuckerberg sci-fi picks can be lighter fare than his other options, but they all have some cultural significance.
  比起马克·扎克伯格选的其他书籍,科幻类相对内容轻松,但都颇具文化意义。
  Zuckerberg, who learned Mandarin 2, 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.
  马克·扎克伯格学过普通话,因为想说服中国政府让其14亿居民上他的社交网站,近几年学起了中文和中国文化。
  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.
  在他脸书个人页面上,他写道,“近来我读经济和社会科学,而‘三体问题’内容轻松有趣,可以作为调剂。”他补充说道,他会加快选书的节奏。
