Foreign media: the new name of Facebook is similar to the Hebrew pronunciation of "death"

据以色列时报和美国有线电视新闻网30日报道，Facebook在28日更名为"meta"后，在社交媒体上受到广泛嘲笑。这一更名在以色列也引起了相当大的轰动，因为新公司名称（meta）的措辞类似于希伯来语中的"死亡"。

According to the Israeli times and CNN on the 30th, Facebook was widely ridiculed on social media after it was renamed "meta" on the 28th. This renaming has also caused quite a stir in Israel, because the speech of the new company name (meta) is similar to the Hebrew word "death".

技术专家nerit Weiss Blatter在推特上写道："在希伯来语中，'meta'（发音）意味着'死亡'"，"在未来几年，犹太人社区将嘲笑这个名字。"另一位网民写道，"严重错误？Facebook的新名字，Mata（发音）在希伯来语中意味着死亡"，并使用了"Facebook死亡"（#Facebook死亡）"的标签。

"In Hebrew, 'meta' (pronunciation) means' death '", technical expert nerit Weiss Blatter wrote on twitter, "in the next few years, the Jewish community will laugh at this name." another netizen wrote, "serious mistake? The new name of Facebook, Mata (pronunciation) means death in Hebrew", and used "Facebook death" (#facebook dead) "Label.

美国社交平台Facebook首席执行官马克·扎克伯格28日宣布，Facebook更名为"元"，未来公司将优先处理与元宇宙相关的业务。目前，该公司的应用程序和技术将被整合到新公司的品牌中，但社交媒体平台Facebook仍保留其原有名称。Facebook并不是第一家改名的知名科技公司。2015年，谷歌成为母公司alphabet控股公司的子公司。分析人士表示，此次变更的主要目的是将公司名称与其主营业务区分开来。

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, an American social platform, announced on the 28th that Facebook was renamed "Yuan", and the company will give priority to the business related to Yuan universe in the future. At present, the company's applications and technologies will be integrated into the new company's brand, but Facebook, a social media platform, still retains its original name. Facebook is not the first well-known technology company to change its name. Google became a subsidiary of the parent company's alphabet holding company in 2015. Analysts said that the main purpose of this change is to distinguish the company name from its main business.
