Meta's market value just dropped by more than most companies are worth
Meta市值跌幅超過大多數上市公司市值
Meta Platforms, the company formerly known as Facebook, just had its worst trading day in its history as a public company.
Meta平臺，此前稱之為Face book，剛剛經歷了其作為上市公司最糟糕的一個交易日。
The company's shares closed down more than 26% Thursday, shaving off nearly $240 billion from its market value, after a rough earnings report released after trading hours on Wednesday.
在週三交易時間毛利潤報告發布以後，公司股票週四收跌超過26%，市值蒸發近2400億美元。
Not only did Meta (FB) report a rare and worse-than-expected profit decline during the final three months of last year, it laid out a series of challenges to its core advertising business and revealed for the first time just how much money it's losing on its shift to the metaverse. The company also reported a slight-but-striking decline in daily active Facebook users in the United States and Canada from the prior quarter.
Meta公司不僅報告了去年最後三個月少見且比預期還要糟糕的收益下滑， 而且還發布了一系列核心商業廣告面臨的挑戰，並首次披露了它轉向元宇宙造成的損失。公司還報告了輕微但令人震驚的前一個季度美國和加拿大Facebook日活使用者的下降。
The eye-popping drop in value is a reminder of just how massive the tech giant really is. Meta's market cap has now declined by an amount that is greater than the total valuation of most public companies.
這讓人瞠目結舌的市值蒸發提醒人們這個科技巨頭何等巨大。Meta現在蒸發的市值，比多數上市公司的全部市值還要多。
Meta's lost market value is more than the total market cap of companies like Oracle and Cisco and nearly as much as the total value of Disney. Put bluntly, Meta just saw its market value decline by more than most public companies are worth.
Meta失去的市值比Oracle 和 Cisco這類的公司總市值還要多，接近迪士尼的總市值。恕我直言，Meta剛剛看到其市值蒸發了多數上市公司的價值。
It's also a tough day for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who is by far the company's largest individual shareholder. Zuckerberg owned more than 398 million Meta shares, or 14.2% of the company's total outstanding shares.
對目前公司最大個人持股者，Meta CEO扎克伯格來說，這也是艱難的一天。扎克伯格擁有3億9800萬股Meta股票，或公司全部股票的14.2%。As Meta's share price plummeted Thursday, the value of Zuckerberg's stake in the company dropped by more than $30 billion.
當Meta的股票價格週四狂跌之時，扎克伯格的公司股票跌去了超過300億美元。
