One day he is in Paris, another in Singapore. 杜罗夫以智力超群、喜欢穿一袭黑衣而闻名。这种打扮让人想起《黑客帝国》(Matrix)里的尼奥(Neo)。他现在已经成了神出鬼没的流浪者，每隔几周就会带领一小组计算机编程人员从一个国家转移到另一个国家。某一天，他会待在巴黎，另一天又会现身新加坡。 “Me myself, I’m not a big fan of the idea of countries,” Mr. Durov said, wearing a custom-made cross between a hoodie and a sport coat. 身穿兼具帽衫与休闲西服特色的定制服装的杜罗夫说，“我本人不大赞同国家的概念。” When he arrived with little warning in London for his first interview outside cyb
