兩個網路及科技界的巨頭，都想爭取到這個開發出下載達50萬次APP的15歲少年。
少年 班-帕斯納克，寫出了一個簡單卻席捲網路的遊戲APP。
並在去年十月發表，命名為"impossible rush"。
His app overtook giants Google, Twitter and Vine in download. When the
players of Ben’s game were asked about their opinions, they said the game
was addictive, probably a reason for its good performance in the app store.
他的APP超越了谷歌、推特及Vine的下載次數。(後面這句不懂，不爽翻
The department of internship at Facebook invited the whizz kid for a tour of
company’s headquarters in California. A vice president of google is said to
have asked Ben to join google. Google and MIT sponsor an event called Hack
Generation Y, for young entrepreneurs. This year 450 people have been
accepted to take part in this event and Ben is said to be one of them. The
event will be taking place this weekend. In the event, participants who are
usually high school students are challenged to come out with a product within
36 hours.

The lead organizer of the event, Michael Matias said Ben Pasternak was a
young entrepreneur and a clearly ambitious kid. He added that Ben has shown
the world that age was just a number.
主辦活動的高層麥可馬諦斯表示，阿班是年輕且有明確抱負的企業家。
他補充的說，阿班已經向世界證明，年齡只是一個數字。
Ben comes from Sydney, Australia. He created the iPhone game in collaboration
with another teenager from Chicago. Ben is currently working on another app
which he calls ‘one’. He said the app will bring all social media feeds
into a single app. According to him, there was no better feeling than seeing
people use your creations.
阿班來自澳洲悉尼，他和來自芝加哥的少年一起合作了這款iPhone的遊戲APP。
目前阿班正在打造另一款名為"one"的APP，他說這款APP將把所有社會媒體集合在"one"中
而且會給你帶來前所未有的使用感受。
