「今日美文朗读」全球顶尖CEO推荐的书，你看过哪些？

OWN CEO - Oprah Winfrey

温弗瑞电视网络CEO：奥普拉-温弗瑞

《 杀死一只知更鸟》

Oprah Winfrey heads OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network). Her all-time favourite book is ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. This book talks about how a little girl views the people around her. Winfrey quotes, "I remember reading this book and then going to class and not being able to shut up about it." She further says, "I read it in eighth or ninth grade, and I was trying to push the book off on other kids. So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that since probably this book."

奥普拉-温弗瑞是她自己开办温弗瑞电视网络公司的CEO。她最爱的书籍是哈珀-李的《杀死一只知更鸟》。这本书以一个小女孩的视角来看待她周围的人。温弗瑞在曾说过：“我记得以前读这本书，然后去学校上课就一个劲不停地讨论书中的故事。我大概是在八、九年级读的，然后一直在给其他同学推荐这本书。所以说，现在我主持读书会也是很有道理的，因为我可能从这本书开始就学会给别人推荐了。”

Ender's Game

Facebook CEO - Mark Zuckerberg

马克-扎克伯格

by Orson Scott Card

《安德的游戏》

Mark Zuckerberg is the present CEO of Facebook. According to his Facebook profile, his favourite book is ‘Ender's Game’ by Orson Scott Card. However, Zuckerberg corrected this and called ‘The Aeneid’ by Virgil as his favourite book. This is actually a Latin epic poem, which talks about a Trojan named, Aeneas, how he traveled to Italy and became an ancestral Roman.

马克-扎克伯格是Facebook的现任CEO。根据他的Facebook主页上显示的，他最爱的书是奥森-斯科特-卡德的《安德的游戏》。但是扎克伯格后来更正说，他最爱的书是维吉尔的《埃涅阿斯记》。这其实是一首长篇史诗，讲述的是特洛伊人埃涅阿斯如何去到意大利，并成为罗马人的祖先的故事。

Napoleon

Oracle CEO - Larry Ellison

甲骨文CEO：拉里-埃里森

by Vincent Cronin

《拿破仑传 》

Larry Ellison is the present CEO of Oracle. Though a number of books are among his ‘like’ list but he absolutely loved reading ‘Napoleon’ by Vincent Cronin. This book is deemed by far the best biography ever written on the great general, Napoleon Bonaparte. This book is so eloquently written that it seems almost like a novel. Ellison quotes, "It's interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons: to see what one man of modest birth can do with his life, and to see how history can distort the truth entirely."

拉里-埃里森是甲骨文公司的现任CEO。尽管他有很多“喜欢”的书，但他最爱的还是温森特-克罗宁的《拿破仑传》。这本书被认为是所有描写拿破仑的传记中写得最好的一本，更像是一本小说。埃里森评价道，“《拿破仑传》这本书读起来很有趣的原因有好几个：能看到一个出生平庸的人一生能有何作为以及历史是如何完全扭曲事实的。”

The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World

Coca Cola CEO - Muhtar Kent

可口可乐CEO：穆泰康

by Niall Ferguson

《货币的上升：世界金融史 》

Muhtar Kent is the present CEO of Coca Cola. His favourite book is ‘The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World’ by Niall Ferguson. This book talks about the “human story behind the evolution of finance.” He quotes, “I love books on economic observations." He further says, "This is one of the best.”

穆泰康是可口可乐公司的现任CEO。他最喜欢的一本书是Niall Ferguson写的《货币的上升：世界金融史》。这本书讲述的是“在金融变革背后的人的故事”。穆泰康评价说：“我喜欢经济观察类的书籍。这本书这类书中最好的之一。”

The Catcher in the Rye

Microsoft CEO (Former) - Bill Gates

前微软CEO：比尔-盖茨

by J.D. Salinger

《麦田守望者 》

Bill Gates is the former CEO of Microsoft. His favourite book is ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J.D. Salinger. A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion, alienation, angst and confusion. Gates quotes, "I didn't actually read Catcher in the Rye until I was 13, and ever since then I've said that's my favorite book." He further said, "It's very clever. It acknowledges that young people are a little confused, but can be smart about things and see things that adults don't really see. So I've always loved it."

比尔-盖茨是微软的前任CEO。他最爱读的书是J.D.塞林格的《麦田守望者》。这本书的主题包括叛逆、异化、焦虑和迷茫。盖茨曾说：“我直到13岁时才开始读《麦田守望者》，从那时开始我就一直说这是我最爱的一本书。这本书充满智慧。它承认年轻人有些迷茫，但对于事情也会有睿智的看法，而且能看到成年人所看不到的东西。所以我一直很喜欢这本书。”
