脸书CEO马克?扎克伯格会讲中文已经不是什么大新闻了，不过最近，马扎本人却表示自己用中文实现了个人里程碑，这是为什么呢?

　　据新浪报道，习大大第一个与扎克伯格亲切握手，双方交流近一分钟，当时，扎克伯格用中文对习近平说：“我一直在努力了解中国和学习中国文化。我也读了您的书，了解您治国理政的理念。您的工作对世界很重要。”习近平说：“我知道你很有中国情结”。

　　马扎显然难掩激动之情，之后就在脸书上秀出照片。

　　图片中的马扎笑得十分腼腆，而且还穿西装、打领带，与往日运动风格的穿着完全不同。

　　马扎在脸书上表示，“今天我在西雅图举行的第八届中美互联网论坛上见到了习近平主席。这次论坛，对于众多科技公司的CEO来说，是一个和来自中美两国官员交流共识、探讨未来的好机会。

　　对于我个人而言，这是我第一次完全用外语和一位世界级领袖交谈。这对我个人来说具有里程碑式的意义。能见到习近平主席和其他领导是我的荣幸。”

　　Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's Chinese seems to be getting better by the day.

　　In fact, it's getting so good, he spoke entirely in Chinese during his meeting with President XiJinping of China on Wednesday (Sept. 23).

　　This isn't the first time Zuckerberg showed off his Chinese fluency in public. Last year, heconducted his entire 30-minute Q&A at Tsinghua

　　University in China in Mandarin. On the Chinese Lunar New Year, he also shared a video in whichhe speaks in Chinese.

　　The meeting on Wednesday was put together as part of President Xi's visit to the US. Some of themost powerful tech leaders, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and MicrosoftCEO Satya Nadella were all in attendance to meet the Chinese head of state.

　　【Key Points】

　　自从结识华裔妻子后，马扎的中文水平一天天进步。如今已经能够用中文和习主席交流，自然值得骄傲。上文中，milestone表示“里程碑，常用来比喻重大事件或转折点”，类似词汇还包括landmark等。

　　例：Seven years later came the Macintosh, the landmark user-friendly computer and designclassic.

　　七年之后Macintosh面世，这是一款里程碑式的经典人性化设计电脑。
