Media magnate Rupert Murdoch is not giving up on love － even at age 92.
媒体大亨鲁柏‧梅铎并未放弃爱情——即使他已经92岁了。
Murdoch announced Thursday that he plans to wed his girlfriend, Elena Zhukova, in June. Murdoch has been married four times before.
梅铎（上）週四宣布，他计画在6月与女友艾琳娜‧朱可娃结婚。梅铎先前结过4次婚。
His roller-coaster personal life is often fodder for the tabloid newspaper industry that he helped create on three continents.
他云霄飞车般的私人生活，经常成为他在3大洲协助创立的八卦报纸的材料。
Last year, Murdoch announced his engagement to dental hygienist-turned-conservative radio host Ann Lesley Smith, but called off the planned nuptials less than a month later.
去年，梅铎宣布与口腔保健师出身的保守派电台主持人安‧莱斯利‧史密斯订婚，但不到1个月后取消原本计画的婚礼。
Zhukova, who immigrated to the United States from Russia, is a retired molecular biologist who at 67 is a quarter century younger than Murdoch.
从俄罗斯移民到美国的朱可娃，是一位退休的分子生物学家，现年67岁，比梅铎年轻4分之1个世纪。
The Australian Murdoch, whose media empire includes The Wall Street Journal, Fox News and other influential outlets, is worth more than $20 billion, according to Forbes.（AFP）
