扎克伯格公布2017新年计划

　　看来扎克伯格的确想要逃离硅谷泡沫。

　　The Facebook CEO and cofounder said Tuesday that his New Year's resolution is to visit and meet with people from every state in the US by the end of 2017.

　　脸书网首席执行官兼联合创始人扎克伯格3日表示，他的新年愿望是在2017年年底前到访美国各州，与各州民众见面。

　　"I've spent significant time in many states already, so I'll need to travel to about 30 states this year to complete this challenge," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post.

　　他在脸书上发帖称，“我已经在许多州呆过很长时间，因此今年我需要再去30个州来完成这项挑战。”

　　Zuckerberg is famous for his ambitious -- some might say eccentric - New Year's challenges, including learning Mandarin², meeting a new person every day and only eating meat that he kills himself.

　　扎克伯格壮志满怀的（有些也可以称为古怪的）新年挑战广为人知，其中包括学习普通话、每天见一个不同的人以及只吃自己亲手屠宰的动物肉等。

　　In 2016, he tackled two challenges: running 365 miles in a year and designing a personal AI assistant to help automate³ tasks in his home.

　　2016年，他完成了两项挑战：一年内跑365英里，设计一款私人人工智能助手帮其自动打理家务。

　　This year's challenge was informed by what Zuckerberg describes as a "turning point in history" caused by the combination of "technology and globalization."

　　扎克伯格将今年制定的挑战称为由“技术和全球化”相互结合引发的“历史转折”。

　　While Zuckerberg does not refer to the 2016 election explicitly⁴, he alludes⁵ to a "greater sense of division" in the country and a need to make sure "the game... works for everyone."

　　扎克伯格虽然没有明确提到2016年的大选，但他暗示美国的“分裂感更加强烈”，需要确保“游戏适合所有人”。

　　"After a tumultuous last year, my hope for this challenge is to get out and talk to more people about how they're living, working and thinking about the future," Zuckerberg says.

　　“在经历了过去一年的动荡后，我希望自己通过这项挑战走出去，与更多人交流，了解他们如何生活、工作，以及他们对未来的看法。

　　After Donald Trump⁶ won the presidential election, some in Silicon Valley admitted they were disconnected with much of the country. One SpaceX exec, who previously⁷ worked for Zuckerberg, went so far as to quit his job to travel the country and bridge the "Growing gulf⁸... between coastal⁹ elites¹⁰ and communities left behind by globalization."

　　特朗普赢得总统大选后，一些硅谷公司承认他们与美国的大部分地区是隔绝的。一位曾效力于扎克伯格的太空探索技术公司高管甚至因此辞去工作周游全国，以消除沿海精英阶层与在全球化中掉队的群体之间的隔阂。

　　Now Zuckerberg is following suit - while keeping his day job, of course.

　　如今，扎克伯格正在效仿此举——不过他当然还要继续自己的正职。

　　"Recently, I've traveled around the world and visited many cities," Zuckerberg wrote in his post. "Now I'm excited to explore more of our country and meet more people here."

　　扎克伯格在脸书上写道，“前不久，我周游了世界各地，也到访了许多城市。现在，我非常期待能多多了解美国，见到更多的美国民众。”
