　　After the 2016 election’s outcome shocked roughly half the nation two weeks ago, outraged and confused Americans blamed misleading pollsters, the media, and for the first time ever, social media outlets like Facebook for helping to create a false reality. In response, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced his plan to combat fake news stories.

　　两周之前的美国大选结果震惊了美国过半民众，愤怒和不知所措的美国人第一次强烈谴责误导投票选民的facebook等社交媒体，促进虚假新闻以及内容的传播。Facebook总裁马克?扎克伯格也表达了他打击虚假新闻的计划。

　　以下是马克·扎克伯格在facebook账户上PO出长文（节选）：

　　川普上台脸书背锅？扎克伯格：对假<a href=http://www.hxen.com/englishnews/ target=_blank class=infotextkey>新闻</a>说NO

　　Our goal is to give every person a voice. We believe deeply in people. Assuming that people understand what is important in their lives and that they can express those views has driven not only our community, but democracy overall. Sometimes when people use their voice though, they say things that seem wrong and they support people you disagree with.

　　我们的目标是让每个人都有表达自己意愿的权利。我们对大家报以深深的信任。我相信大家都明白什么才是生活中重要的事，而且大家可以表达自己的所有的观点，不管是在你生活的社区还是有关于民主政策。总有些人表达的观点你觉得是错误的，或者他们支持的人是你不喜欢的。

　　After the election, many people are asking whether fake news contributed to the result, and what our responsibility is to prevent fake news from spreading. These are very important questions and I care deeply about getting them right. I want to do my best to explain what we know here.

　　大选后，很多人都在问，假新闻对结果有何影响，在防止假新闻传播的过程中，我们有怎样的责任。这都是很重要的问题，我对此也十分关心。我也会尽全力解释目前我们知道的。

　　Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic. Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist are not limited to one partisan view, or even to politics. Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other.

　　大家所看到的Facebook上的内容，超过99%都是真实的，只有一小部分是虚假的，骗人的。这些都真实存在，而且不限于一党之政见。总而言之，极少数的虚假信息不可能改变大选的结果的。

　　That said, we don't want any hoaxes on Facebook. Our goal is to show people the content they will find most meaningful, and people want accurate news. We have already launched work enabling our community to flag hoaxes and fake news, and there is more we can do here. We have made progress, and we will continue to work on this to improve further.

　　也就是说，我们不想在fecebook上看到虚假新闻。我们的目标是向人们展示有意义的内容、准确的新闻消息。我们已经展开工作，让大家能标记虚假新闻，我们也还有更多可以做的事情。我们取得了进展，并且将在今后继续努力。

　　This has been a historic election and it has been very painful for many people. Still, I think it's important to try to understand the perspective of people on the other side. In my experience, people are good, and even if you may not feel that way today, believing in people leads to better results over the long term.

　　这的确是一场历史性的选举，对许多人而言是十分痛苦的。但是，我认为试着去了解另一方的观点还是很重要的。根据我的经验，大家是优秀的。即使你今天可能不这么想，但从长期来看，信任每个人将会带来最好的结果。

　　The 2016 election, from the campaign trail to an election night that shocked the world, exposed many flaws and potholes in both social media and political journalism, and all we can do now is take heed of them as we move on to covering the next four years.

　　2016年的美国大选，从竞选过程到选举之夜都令世界震惊，暴露出社交媒体和政治新闻业的许多缺陷和弊端。我们现在能做的就是时刻警惕，不让这些影响到下一届选举。
