Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress for over five hours on Wednesday.

周三，脸书首席执行官官马克·扎克伯格在国会前作证了五个多小时。

He answered questions from senators on a broad range of subjects, including how Facebook makes money from user data.

他回答了参议员们各种各样的问题，其中包括脸书如何利用用户数据挣钱。

Zuckerberg said, "There's a very common misperception about Facebook — that we sell data to advertisers."

扎克伯格说，“人们对脸书存在非常普遍的误解——大家觉得我们会把数据卖给广告商。”

He went on to explain, "We do not sell data to advertisers. We don't sell data to anyone.

他进而解释到，“我们不会把数据卖给广告商，我们不会把数据卖给任何人。

What we allow is for advertisers to tell us who they want to reach, and then we do the placement."

我们所允许的是广告商告诉我们他们想向谁打广告，然后我们负责广告的投放。

All that being said, Facebook still directly relies on user data to make money but just not in the way that some imagined.

话虽如此，脸书还是直接依靠用户数据来挣钱，但却不是有些人所想的那样。
