“The Aeneid” by Virgil 《埃涅阿斯纪》维吉尔 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. 马克在高中学习拉丁语的时候第一次读了《埃涅阿斯纪》，他清楚地记得特洛伊勇士埃涅阿斯对于建立自己城市的欲望和追寻，甚至能背诵其中的一些句子：“时间无所边界，伟大没有尽头。”在一次会议上，扎克伯格还引用了其中的句子——引用自《纽约客》采访。 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. 上学的孩子都熟知特洛伊木马的故事，但是维吉尔对这个神话故事的复杂细节做了描述。虽然在众多书单的推荐中维吉尔的书已不再被常常提及，但是这部史诗巨作还是十分值得一读的。 “Ender's Game” by Orson Scott Card 《安德的游戏》奥森·斯科特·卡德 |
