蘋果公司創(chuàng)始人被騙意味著什么？跟我們有什么關(guān)系？
If it can happen to Woz, it can happen to any of us.
如果蘋果公司創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克（Steve Wozniak）能被騙，我們當中的任何人也可能被騙。
他是如何被騙的？
At the Global Business Summit hosted by the Indian newspaper The Economic Times, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said someone stole seven bitcoins from him. Wozniak sold the bitcoins to someone who paid for them with a credit card. The credit card transaction was then cancelled① before it cleared②, leaving him with nothing to show for what would now be worth over $70,000③. The credit card number turned out to be stolen, leaving him with no recourse④ to claim⑤ back the money⑥.
①cancel/ ?k?nsl/ v. 取消
②clear/ kl??(r)/此處既不表示干凈的，也不表示清理，指的是財經(jīng)交易中的結(jié)算。
③此處leaving...70000是前面動作的伴隨狀語，這件事情主動導致的結(jié)果，用-ing形式
④recourse/ r??k??s/ n.求助的對象
⑤claim/ kle?m/ v.索要
⑥又一次使用了leaving...這一伴隨的結(jié)果狀語，強調(diào)了沃茲尼亞克在騙局中的被動和無奈。
在由印度新聞報紙《經(jīng)濟時報》（The Economic Times）舉辦的全球商業(yè)峰會上，蘋果公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克說有人從他那里偷取了7個比特幣。他把這些比特幣賣給買家，買家用信用卡支付。然而，這筆信用卡交易在被結(jié)清之前就被取消了。這就沒有留給他任何憑據(jù)。而這7個比特幣現(xiàn)在價值超過7萬美元。該信用卡賬號接著顯示被偷，沃茲尼亞克甚至無法請求贖回那筆錢。
這是區(qū)塊鏈的漏洞？向來支持比特幣和區(qū)塊鏈的沃茲尼亞克就此改變立場了嗎？
Blockchain, the technology on which bitcoin is founded, keeps track of who has Bitcoins, but not who is buying them from whom. Wozniak’s interest in Bitcoin, like that of many other enthusiasts, rests on its “purity.” At the Summit, he told an audience, “Bitcoins to me was a currency that was not manipulated by the governments. It is mathematical, it is pure, it can’t be altered.” But, as he found out, that level of purity requires the sacrifice of a certain level of security.
區(qū)塊鏈是比特幣所依賴的技術(shù)基礎(chǔ)，能記錄誰擁有比特幣，但無法記錄哪個買家正在從哪個賣家處購買比特幣。和其他的支持者一樣，沃茲尼亞克對比特幣的興趣在于它的純度。在峰會上，他告訴聽眾：“對我來說，比特幣是數(shù)學的，是純粹的，它不會被改變。”但是，他發(fā)現(xiàn)這種程度的純粹意味著犧牲一定的安全度。
那么沃茲尼亞克還在投資比特幣？
Though he still believes in the currency⑦, Wozniak recently divested⑧ from Bitcoin, saying he was interested in it only as an experiment. When he divested he told CNBC, “I said, ‘I don’t want to become one of those people that watches it, watches it and cares about the number.’ I don’t want that kind of care⑨?in my life.”
⑦currency/ ?k?r?ns?/ n.貨幣
⑧divest/ da??vest/ v. 解除
⑨care此處表示憂慮
盡管沃茲尼亞克依然支持比特幣，但是他最近不再做投資，說他對比特幣的興趣只在于把它當作一個實驗。他告訴CNBC,“那些投資者看著它，看著它，一直擔憂它的價位變化，我不想成為這樣的人。我不希望我的生活里有這樣的擔憂?！?/p>
Wozniak can afford not to care about the number; he is worth upwards of $100 million.
沃茲尼亞克不再去關(guān)注比特幣價位，他能承擔得起這個結(jié)果，畢竟他的身價超過1億美元。
那么我們呢？
