Mark Zuckerberg took a new “personal challenge” last year. It was not losing weight or shutting down Facebook, but slaughtering the meat that he ate! Zuckerberg, the 27-year-old CEO of the world’s largest social networking site, Facebook, chooses a new challenge each year to help himself get away from all things about Facebook and “learn more about the world.” In 2009, Zuckerberg wore a tie every day. in 2010, he spent an hour each day learning Chinese. “I’ve always found learning new languages challenging, so I wanted to jump in and try to learn a hard one. There’s no easy way to learn languages—you just need to practice and practice,” Zuckerberg said. For 2011, Zuckerberg decided he would enjoy his food more if he learned the process of killing the animal and cooking it. “I think many people forget that a living being has to die for you to eat meat, so I want myself to remember that and be thankful for what I have,” Zuckerberg said. “So far, this has been a good experience. I’m eating much healthier food and I’ve learned a lot about farming and the raising of animals.” |
马克•扎克伯格去年开始了一个新的“个人挑战”。这个新挑战既不是减肥,也不是关闭脸谱网,而是亲自动手来宰杀“盘中肉”。 扎克伯格,这位现年27岁的首席执行总裁,任职于全球最大的社交网站脸谱网。他每年都会接受一项新的挑战,借此让自己“逃离”与脸谱网有关的一切,并更多地了解这个世界。2009年,扎克伯格每天都会系领带。2010年,他每天花一小时时间来学中文。他说:“我一直觉得学习新语言很具有挑战性,所以我希望投入地学习一门难学的语言。学习语言没有捷径——你需要的就是不断地练习。” 2011年,扎克伯格决心学习如何“终结”并烹饪动物,以便更好地享用他的食物。 “我认为,很多人都忘记了一个生物是为了当你的‘盘中餐’而失去了生命,因此我希望自己能够牢记这一点,并对我所拥有的心怀感激,”扎克伯格说,“到目前为止,这是一个不错的体验。我现在吃更健康的食物,而且学到了很多关于农场经营及动物养殖方面的知识。” (来源:英语学习杂志) |
