'Carthago Delenda Est:' Was Mark Zuckerberg's Cryptic Birthday Tee A Meta Message Or A Party Joke?
Mark Zuckerberg's 40th birthday party outfit has sparked a wave of speculation. The Meta Platforms, Inc. CEO's attire, particularly a T-shirt with a Latin phrase, has led to a flurry of theories about its significance.
马克·扎克伯格的40岁生日派对服装引发了一波猜测。Meta Platforms, Inc. 首席执行官的着装,特别是带有拉丁语短语的T恤,引发了一系列关于其重要性的理论。
What Happened: Zuckerberg's birthday party was organized by his wife, Priscilla Chan, and featured miniature replicas of significant places in his life.
发生了什么:扎克伯格的生日聚会是由他的妻子陈慧娴组织的,以他生命中重要地点的微型复制品为特色。
However, it was Zuckerberg's outfit that caught the attention of many. In particular, his T-shirt, which bore the Latin phrase "Carthago delenda est" (Carthage must be destroyed), raised eyebrows.
但是,正是扎克伯格的服装引起了许多人的注意。特别是,他的印有拉丁语短语 “Carthago delenda est”(迦太基必须被摧毁)的T恤引起了人们的关注。
The phrase traces its origins to debates in the Roman Senate preceding the Third Punic War (149–146 BC) between Rome and Carthage. Cato the Elder, a prominent politician of the Roman Republic, purportedly concluded all his speeches with this phrase, advocating for the war.
这句话起源于罗马和迦太基之间的第三次布匿战争(公元前149-146年)之前的罗马参议院辩论。据称,罗马共和国的著名政治家卡托·埃尔德在所有演讲的结尾都用这句话来结束他的所有演讲,主张战争。
It is also linked to Zuckerberg's interest in Roman history, with his daughters being named after Roman emperors, reported Business Insider on Wednesday.
据《商业内幕》周三报道,这也与扎克伯格对罗马历史的兴趣有关,他的女儿以罗马皇帝的名字命名。

There are several theories about the T-shirt. It could be a designer shirt, a gift from someone at the party, or a nod to a significant phase in Facebook's history. The shirt's fit and the fold lines suggest it was worn for the first time at the party.
关于这件T恤有几种理论。它可能是一件名牌衬衫,可能是派对上某人的礼物,或者是对Facebook历史重要阶段的致敬。这件衬衫的版型和折叠线条表明它是在派对上首次穿的。
Another point of interest was Zuckerberg's gold chain, which was absent in some photos. The chain necklace has become somewhat of an internet sensation following the widespread circulation of digitally manipulated images depicting Zuckerberg wearing a chain and sporting a beard.
另一个有趣的地方是扎克伯格的金链,一些照片中没有这条金链。在描绘扎克伯格戴着链子和留着胡须的数字处理图像广泛流传之后,这条链式项链在互联网上引起了轰动。
Chan's Instagram caption hinted that the party was also a roast, with attendees, including Bill Gates and Joel Kaplan, dressing up in a Zuckerberg costume. This led to the theory that Zuckerberg's outfit was gifted to him as a joke during the party.
陈在Instagram上的标题暗示这场派对也是一场盛宴,包括比尔·盖茨和乔尔·卡普兰在内的与会者穿着扎克伯格服装。这导致了这样的理论,即扎克伯格的服装是在聚会期间作为笑话送给他的。
Why It Matters: Since the inception of Facebook in 2004 at Harvard University, Zuckerberg has steered Meta from its initial concentration solely on a single social network to broadening its scope to include messaging and cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence.
为何重要:自 Facebook 于 2004 年在哈佛大学创立以来,扎克伯格一直引导 Meta 从最初仅专注于单一社交网络转向扩大其范围,将消息传递和人工智能等尖端技术包括在内。
He has experienced a notable evolution, transitioning from a reserved founder to an individual with diverse interests, ranging from managing cattle on his $100 million Hawaii ranch to engaging in mixed martial arts or MMA training.
他经历了显著的演变,从一个内向的创始人转变为一个有着不同兴趣的人,从在他耗资1亿美元的夏威夷牧场管理牛群到从事混合武术或综合格斗训练。
At the time of writing, Zuckerberg's total net worth was $171 billion, making him the fourth person on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
在撰写本文时,扎克伯格的总净资产为1710亿美元,使他成为彭博亿万富翁指数的第四人。
