[2011.09.17] 愚蠢的董事会

引用 aubreychen 2011-9-16 15:51

THE directors of Yahoo! were “so spooked by being cast as the worst board in the country” that they fired Carol Bartz as chief executive “to show that they’re not the doofuses that they are.”
雅虎董事们很担心被认为是国内最糟的董事会，所以这些sb开除了CB想来显示自己不是sb。

Yet Ms Bartz’s criticisms of the board have been sympathetically received.
这句话的意思是，大家都同意bartz对雅虎的批评，而且是sympathetically的认为批评的对。下文给出解释，首先这样解雇本来就2b，况且之前雅虎还有2b历史——拒绝微软。

LZ辛苦了，
第四段，Today boards are often chided by shareholder activists—as Yahoo!’s board was by Dan Loeb, an outspoken hedge-fund manager—creating a temptation to do something decisive.中a temptation to do =try to do，creating部分修饰activists，所以翻译时最好将语序调整下。
第五段，Departing：即将离任的？
第六段，likely to be =可能？（“好像”一词太中国式啦~）
第八段，It made most of Ms Bartz’s share options subject to tough performance triggers and negotiated a relatively stingy termination agreement.
雅虎董事会使得Ms Bartz的认股权与其刻苦的表现挂钩，并与其协商制定了相对苛刻的解雇协议。
第九段，There is growing demand for boards to undergo a formal evaluation process，to assess both the performance of each individual board member and how they work together as a group.
越来越多的呼声要求董事会应经历一个正式的评估过程，要求鉴定每个董事会成员的个体表现及其作为团队时的协作表现。
