谷歌副總裁跳槽小米 高層背後緋聞
新聞背景：
之前有媒體用一則高層緋聞來解釋谷歌副總裁胡戈·巴拉的離職，稱巴拉之前與另外一名谷歌女員工結束了戀愛關係，而那位員工現在則插足了谷歌聯合創始人謝爾蓋·布林的婚姻，使得布林與其妻子、23andMe聯合創始人安妮·武吉西奇分居，並開始經營這段新的感情。而這位“谷歌女員工”的身份也已被網友們人肉出來，她就是現就職於谷歌眼鏡市場營銷經理的阿曼達·圠森伯格。
但是，谷歌發言人尚未對此緋聞發表迴應，巴拉也未對此置評。也有媒體指出該報道的不實，稱巴拉的離職與此無關。下面讓我們來看一下關於此次巴拉離職的具體報道。
One of Google’s top Android executives is leaving the company.
谷歌公司安卓高管之一離職了。
Hugo Barra, whose official title is vice president of product management for Android, has been one of the more public faces of the mobile operating system, appearing frequently at Google press events and at its annual I/O developer conference. It was Barra, for example, who showed off the Nexus 7 tablet at its recent launch in San Francisco.
安卓產品管理副總裁胡戈·巴拉曾是操作系統團隊最具代表性的公衆人物之一，他曾經頻繁出席谷歌的新聞發佈會以及谷歌的年度I/O開發者大會。例如，最近的Nexus 7平板電腦就是由他在舊金山登臺演示的。
Barra, sources said, is leaving for a job at Xiaomi, a fast-growing Chinese phone maker. Xiaomi, which builds Android phones for the Chinese market, prides itself not only on its high-end hardware, but also on the software it adds on top of Google’s operating system.
有消息稱巴拉跳槽是爲了加盟小米，這是一家正飛速發展的中國手機制造公司。小米公司爲中國市場製造安卓手機，不僅具有高端的硬件設備，加入谷歌操作系統的軟件也是一流的。
After joining Google in March of 2008, Barra rose through the company’s ranks in the ensuing years, going from group product manager to vice president of Android product management. Barra joined Google from speech technology firm Nuance.
在2008年3月加盟谷歌後，巴拉第二年就得到晉升，從集團產品經理升職爲安卓產品管理副總裁。巴拉當時是從語音技術公司Nuance跳槽到谷歌的。

A Google representative could not immediately say how Barra’s responsibilities will be handled. Barra was not immediately available for comment.
谷歌發言人並未立即迴應關於巴拉職責將如何處理的問題，巴拉也沒有立即對此發表評論。
Barra’s exit from Google is a significant one for the company and its Android division. Earlier this year, Andy Rubin, creator of Android, abruptly stepped down from that team, ostensibly to “start a new chapter at Google.” Coming as it does so quickly in the aftermath of Rubin’s pivot, Barra’s exit could cause ripples in one of Google’s most important divisions, the front line of its battle for mobile.
巴拉的離職對谷歌和安卓部門的影響很大。今年早些時候，安卓項目的創建人安迪·魯賓突然卸任團隊主管，這表面上“爲谷歌開始了一個新的篇章”。作爲魯賓離職後的核心人員，巴拉的離開給谷歌最重要的部門之一——手機銷售戰役的前線——帶來了衝擊。
Barra’s departure, along with Rubin’s shift, raises questions about just where Google will take Android in the coming years, and who will guide that effort.
巴拉的離職和魯賓的卸任，給谷歌今後幾年對安卓的戰略態度以及該部門的領導者人選帶來了問題。
