伊隆马斯克给妈妈的母亲节礼物。 英语读头条(第686期)

Elon Musk opens 'SNL' by telling his mother that he's gifting her dogecoin for Mother's Day
After much fanfare, anticipation and some controversy, the eccentric tech billionaire took the stage at Studio 8H as host of "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday.
在大张旗鼓、期待和一些争议之后,这位古怪的科技亿万富翁在8H演播室登上了“周六夜场秀”的舞台。
"It's an honor to be hosting 'Saturday Night Live. I mean that," Musk said. "Sometimes after I say something, I have to say, 'I mean that,' so people really know that I mean it."
“很荣幸能主持《周六夜场秀》。我是认真的”。马斯克说到:“有时候我说了什么之后,我不得不说,'我是认真的,’这样人们才真正知道我是认真的。”
Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and one of the richest people on the planet, didn't waste any time jumping into jokes about his Twitter account, smoking weed with Joe Rogan, and his son's name, "X Æ A-12."
马斯克是特斯拉的首席执行官,也是这个星球上最富有的人之一,他没有浪费任何时间,就拿自己的推特账户、与乔·罗根一起抽大麻以及儿子的名字“X Æ A-12”开起了玩笑。
"It's pronounced cat running across keyboard," he said of his son's name.
“它的发音是'猫在键盘上奔跑’,”他谈到儿子的名字时说。
Musk wasn't alone on stage, however. The CEO brought out his mother Maye during his monologue since Sunday is Mother's Day.
然而,马斯克并不是一个人在舞台上。由于周日是母亲节,这位首席执行官在自己讲话时中把母亲梅耶也带上了舞台。
"I'm excited for my mother's day gift. I just hope it's not dogecoin," Musk's mother said mentioning the cryptocurrency, which Musk has been a vocal supporter of.
“我很期待母亲节的礼物。我只希望这不是***吧,”马斯克的母亲也不失时机地提到这个数字货币时说,马斯克一直是加密货币的坚定的支持者。
cryptocurrency:数字加密货币
"It is," Musk said, smiling. "It sure is."
“是的,”马斯克笑着说:“就是它。”
Musk's monologue covered a bunch of subjects but Musk seemed comfortable, which says a lot considering he's not an actor or comedian.
马斯克的讲话涵盖了许多主题,但马斯克似乎很舒服,对于一个不是演员或喜剧演员的他,这说明了很多。
Musk is a surprising choice for the show given that "SNL" is not known for picking hosts from the tech or business world. The selection also raised some eyebrows, including with some castmembers signaling their displeasure at the choice, since Musk has courted controversy in the past.
马斯克是一个令人惊讶的选择,因为“SNL”不擅长从科技界或商界挑选主持人。这一选择也引起了一些人的不满,包括一些演职成员对这一选择表示不满,因为马斯克过去曾引起争议。
