谷歌副总裁跳槽小米 高层背后绯闻

资讯背景：

之前有媒体用一则高层绯闻来解释谷歌副总裁胡戈·巴拉的离职，称巴拉之前与另外一名谷歌女员工结束了恋爱关系，而那位员工现在则插足了谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林的婚姻，使得布林与其妻子、23andMe联合创始人安妮·武吉西奇分居，并开始经营这段新的感情。而这位“谷歌女员工”的身份也已被网友们人肉出来，她就是现就职于谷歌眼镜市场营销经理的阿曼达·圠森伯格。

但是，谷歌发言人尚未对此绯闻发表回应，巴拉也未对此置评。也有媒体指出该报道的不实，称巴拉的离职与此无关。下面让我们来看一下关于此次巴拉离职的具体报道。

One of Google’s top Android executives is leaving the company.

谷歌公司安卓高管之一离职了。

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.

安卓产品管理副总裁胡戈·巴拉曾是操作系统团队最具代表性的公众人物之一，他曾经频繁出席谷歌的资讯发布会以及谷歌的年度I/O开发者大会。例如，最近的Nexus 7平板电脑就是由他在旧金山登台演示的。

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.

有消息称巴拉跳槽是为了加盟小米，这是一家正飞速发展的中国手机制造公司。小米公司为中国市场制造安卓手机，不仅具有高端的硬件设备，加入谷歌操作系统的软件也是一流的。

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月加盟谷歌后，巴拉第二年就得到晋升，从集团产品经理升职为安卓产品管理副总裁。巴拉当时是从语音技术公司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.

谷歌发言人并未立即回应关于巴拉职责将如何处理的问题，巴拉也没有立即对此发表评论。

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.

巴拉的离职对谷歌和安卓部门的影响很大。今年早些时候，安卓项目的创建人安迪·鲁宾突然卸任团队主管，这表面上“为谷歌开始了一个新的篇章”。作为鲁宾离职后的核心人员，巴拉的离开给谷歌最重要的部门之一——手机销售战役的前线——带来了冲击。

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.

巴拉的离职和鲁宾的卸任，给谷歌今后几年对安卓的战略态度以及该部门的领导者人选带来了问题。
