一 |     London, Oct 18 (UNI) "The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" by Sri Lankan Shehan Karunatilaka, a supernatural satire set amid a murderous civil war in the island nation, has won the Booker Prize.

The novel is about a photographer who wakes up dead, with a week to ask his friends to find his photos and expose the brutality of war, BBC and other media reported.

Camilla, the Queen Consort, presented the prize, and the author said it had been "an honour and a privilege" to be on the shortlist.

Karunatilaka said as he accepted his prize: "My hope is that in the not too distant future... Sri Lanka has understood that these ideas of corruption and race-baiting and cronyism have not worked and will never work."

The writer said he decided in 2009 to write "a ghost story where the dead could offer their perspective" after the end of the Sri Lankan civil war, "when there was a raging debate over how many civilians died and whose fault it was".

"I hope it's in print in 10 years... if it is, I hope it's written in a Sri Lanka that learns from its stories, and that Seven Moons will be in the fantasy section of the bookshop, next to the dragons, the unicorns and will not be mistaken for realism or political satire," the BBC reported

He added that he had "self-censored" a couple of short stories after author Salman Rushdie was stabbed in August, having faced years of death threats for his novel "The Satanic Verses", which some Muslims see as blasphemous.

"I was in the process of publishing a collection of short stories when this incident happened, and I discovered a couple which I don't think was offensive to any religion," Karunatilaka said.

"But my wife said, can you not do that? You've got two young kids. This story is not that good. Just leave it out."

He added that "this is something that hangs over all of us if we're writing in South Asia, especially writing about politics or religion", the BBC said.

Head judge Neil MacGregor praised the "scope and the skill, the daring, the audacity and hilarity" of the novel, calling it an "afterlife noir" which "takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey through life and death".

He said the judges' decision had been unanimous, adding all of the shortlisted books were "all really about one question, and that is what's the point of an individual life?"

The prestigious £50,000 prize, for a single work of fiction published in the UK in English, also gives the other five writers on the shortlist £2,500 each.

"The Seven Moons of Maali" is Karunatilaka's second novel, having previously won awards including the Commonwealth Book Prize for his debut book Chinaman, which was called the "second best cricket book of all time" by cricketers' almanac Wisden.

Born in 1975, the writer has also worked as an advertising copywriter, and his songs, scripts and stories have been published in Rolling Stone, GQ and National Geographic.

MacGregor, a former director of London's National Gallery and the British Museum, added that the judges read all 170 books put forward for the prize, then whittled them down to 30. They then re-read those, before deciding on the final six, which they read for a third time, the report said.

The other nominees were: "Glory" by NoViolet Bulawayo, "The Trees" by Percival Everett, "Treacle Walker" by Alan Garner, "Small Things Like These" by Claire Keegan and "Oh William!" by Elizabeth Strout.

The Booker-winning novel tells the story of the photographer of its title, who in 1990 wakes up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. With no idea who killed him, Maali has seven moons to contact the people he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos of civil war atrocities that will rock Sri Lanka, the Daily Mirror reported.

The judges were unanimous in their decision to award the prize to Karunatilaka, according to the chair.

Receiving his prize, Karunatilaka addressed the people of Sri Lanka in Tamil and Sinhalese. He summarised what he said in English: “I write these books for you… Let’s keep sharing these stories.”

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is published by the independent press Sort of Books. This year is the first time a book by the publisher has been longlisted for the prize.

Karunatilaka has become the second Sri Lankan-born author to win, following Michael Ondaatje, who won in 1992 with "The English Patient".

In his Guardian review, Tomiwa Owolade said the book’s “scenarios are often absurd … but executed with a humour and pathos that ground the reader”. He added: “Karunatilaka has done artistic justice to a terrible period in his country’s history.”

Karunatilaka, was born in Galle, Sri Lanka, in 1975 and grew up in Colombo.

UNI MR。    目前，苹果方面并未对此发表评论。扎克伯格表示，和苹果的iMessage工具相比，WhatsApp更加安全，更加能保护隐私，它具备了端到端的加密功能，覆盖Android设备和苹果手机，另外加密功能也覆盖了群聊。所谓的端到端加密功能，指的是聊天工具对聊天信息进行了加密，这样，聊天工具运营商并不能够看到用户实际聊天的文字，即使是其他机构根据法律要求索取文字，也根本无法提供。

二 | 据报道，Meta的WhatApp和苹果的iMessage都提供了聊天内容加密服务，另外两家公司也对聊天内容进行备份，后续可以获取备份的内容。

三 | 而在传统的手机短信服务中，短信内容备份在移动运营商的设备中。扎克伯格介绍道，去年，WhatsApp提供了备份聊天信息的加密功能，他还介绍另外一个重要的创新功能，即用户发送信息时，可以设置在一段时间之后自我删除。扎克伯格在自己社交媒体帖子中表示，WhatsApp这些安全功能，苹果的iMessage并不具备。在一个后续评论中，扎克伯格还披露了一个消息：Meta旗下的另外一款社交工具Instagram，正在开发端到端的信息加密功能。很多年以来，Meta一直把苹果公司视为一家竞争对手，甚至是在该公司通过虚拟现实设备进入硬件市场之前。

四 | 在2018年的一次分析师电话会议上，扎克伯格直言不讳表示：“迄今为止，我们最大的竞争对手是iMessage。”向苹果竞争和“挑衅”的，并非只有Meta一家。今年夏天，Google公司进行了一波移动聊天工具的广告宣传，该公司针对了iMessage聊天服务中的蓝色或绿色气泡信息。Google希望苹果在移动聊天服务的短信模块中，采用最新一代的短信技术RCS。在移动通信行业，RCS被认为是传统SMS短信的替代者，拥有更丰富的功能，加密功能也有所加强。

五 | 苹果的iMessage工具，目前支持苹果旗下的智能手机、个人电脑和平板电脑三大类设备。苹果设备用户如果和Android手机上的好友聊天，对方只能发送传统短信，在聊天窗口中将会呈现为“绿色气泡”，苹果用户认为这是一个不太好的聊天体验。

六 | 在9月份的一次会议上，与会者向苹果公司掌门人库克提出一个问题，即是否能够在聊天服务中支持RCS技术。这名提问者表示，由于传统手机短信功能的限制，他无法给自己母亲的手机发送一段视频。库克回答称，一直以来，苹果聊天服务的用户并没有提出什么改进功能的需求，因此解决这个问题最好的办法，就是买一部苹果手机。“那就给你母亲买一部iPhone吧。”库克如是回答。
