财联社12月20日讯（编辑 赵昊）尽管受到外界越来越多的质疑，Meta Platforms Inc.仍表示明年将继续把公司20%的支出用于“元宇宙”项目“Reality Labs”上。
Meta Platforms Inc. said that 20% of the company's expenditure would continue to be spent on the “Reality Labs” project next year, despite growing questions from outside the world.
当地时间周一（12月19日），Meta首席技术官兼Reality Labs负责人Andrew Bosworth在公司官方博客上发文表示，未来Meta将延续今年三季度的支出方向——80%的投资将用于支持核心业务“应用程序家族”，而另外20%仍将用于Reality Labs。
On Monday, local time (19 December), Andrew Bosworth, Chief Technical Officer of Meta and head of Reality Labs, wrote on the company's official blog that in the future Meta will continue the direction of spending in the third quarter of this year — 80 per cent of the investment will support the core business

Last October, when Facebook changed its name to Meta, Zuckerberg announced an investment of $10 billion a year for Reality Labs. 根据公司三季报，Reality Labs今年前九个月的总亏损已经高达94亿美元，而同一时期包括Facebook、Instagram在内的“应用程序家族”挣回了约320亿美元。 According to the company's three-quarterly report, Reality Labs' total loss for the first nine months of the year had reached $9.4 billion, while the application family, including Facebook, Instagram, had earned approximately $32 billion over the same period. 但Facebook等社交平台也正面临广告流失严重的问题，可以说，自身难保的“应用程序家族”向元宇宙项目输了自己近30%的血。 But social platforms such as Facebook are also facing a serious problem with advertising loss, and it can be said that the “application family” of its own is losing nearly 30 per cent of its own blood to the meta-cosmos project. Bosworth也承认，Meta的2022年比公司先前预期的更难，“引发了对我们业务支出的怀疑风暴”。 Bosworth also admitted that Meta's 2022 was more difficult than the company had previously anticipated, “caused
