Today’s key word is Tale
Tale 故事
今天我們要說的這個愛情故事里,也住著一位公主。It is the love story of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan. Mark Zuckerberg-臉書的CEO大家應該都聽說過,We talked about him and his new born daughter in the last episode.
Today, we are going to tell you the love story of him and his wife- Priscilla Chan.
那是2003年的一個晚上,Mark Zuckerberg was just a college student at Harvard.(哈佛大學) He went to a party with his friends. 喝了幾杯之后,Mark準備去洗手間,在排隊等著進去的時候,就在這個時候,He met a lovely and beautiful girl called Priscilla Chan.(所以說童鞋們,When you meet someone you like, do not hesitate to tell her that you like her.)And soon, these two students at Harvard started dating each other. After some time, Mark took another big decision(決定) of his life; he dropped out(退學) to run his company, then titled- The Facebook.
請注意,此時扎克伯格還不是億萬富翁。退學后的Zuckerberg 開始運營FACEBOOK, 兩個人也開始了異地戀。Zuckerberg是個工作狂,常常忘記跟Priscilla 聯系。后來,Zuckerberg和他的公司都常駐在加利福尼亞,Priscilla也離開哈佛跟著他到加利福尼亞大學繼續學習。Priscilla always stood by him.
They fell in love when Zuckerberg was nothing but a college student, and they are still in love now that he has become a multi-billionaire(億萬富翁).其實,Zuckerberg在我們的眼中是一個坐擁億萬美元的青年才俊,但在Priscilla眼中-- he was just my boyfriend.
Priscilla是一個成長在普通甚至不太富裕的華裔家庭的女孩,Her parents immigrated(移民)to the United States in refugee boats (難民船) Her mother worked two jobs during her entire childhood(童年).
She is the first in her family to go to college.她像所有女朋友一樣給Mark 定了規矩,A minimum of 100 minutes of alone time每天至少100分鐘獨處的時間。At least one date night every week. 每周至少一次約會時間。
又過了一段時間后,Mark像所有沉浸在愛情中的男孩子一樣,在自己的facebook主頁上興奮的寫道“Priscilla Chan is moving in this weekend."
到了2012年,Priscilla從醫學院畢業了,他們在家里開Party慶祝她的畢業。但所有人都沒有想到,In the presence of 100 guests, Mark announced (宣布) it as the day of their wedding. Mark presented a simple ruby wedding ring(紅寶石婚戒) to his love, which he had personally designed for her.
倆人就這樣結婚了。沒有大張旗鼓的宣傳,沒有奢華繁瑣的布置,沒有轟動半個富豪圈的賓客。就這樣簡簡單單,干干凈凈,幸幸福福的兩個人在一起了。現在還有了一個可愛的女兒Max。
Ann Landers says: “Love is friendship(友誼) that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding(理解), mutual confidence(信心), sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty(忠誠) through good and bad times. (甘苦與共)希望我親愛的聽眾們你們都能找到屬于自己的幸福。與相愛的人相依相守,白頭偕老。
See you next time.
