雅虎CEO梅耶爾："手滑了"才進谷歌
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has had an impressive career which famously began at Google, where she spent a decade and made a fortune.
雅虎總裁瑪麗莎·梅耶爾的職業生涯令人印象深刻，最初開始於谷歌，她在那裏打拼了10年，賺了不少。
Her unauthorized biography is detailed here, by Business Insider's Nicholas Carlson. In it, Carlson describes how a lucky keystroke helped Marissa Mayer land at Google, which was then a little-known startup.
她的外傳由“商業內幕”的尼古拉斯-卡爾森詳細道來。在書裏，卡爾森講述了一個巧合幫助梅耶爾來到谷歌，纔有了後來。
When Mayer graduated from Stanford, she received more than 12 job offers. She wasn't interested in adding more opportunities to the pile. So when an email from a recruiter appeared in her inbox, she tried to delete it.
當梅耶爾從斯坦福畢業後，她得到了12個工作機會。她對更多的機會不感興趣，所以當她在收件箱裏看到招聘人員發來的郵件時，她本想刪除掉。
Luckily for Mayer, her finger missed the delete key and she ended up opening the pitch instead. The pitch promoted an opportunity at Google, a startup she had heard about through a Stanford professor.
幸運的是，梅耶爾的手指沒有按到刪除鍵，而是不小心打開了郵件。這是谷歌提供的機會，她曾在斯坦福的一位教授那裏聽說過。
Carlson describes the lucky incident: Instead of hitting delete, Mayer hit the space bar and opened the email. That email’s subject line: “Work at Google?”
卡爾森這樣描述這件事情：梅耶爾沒有按到刪除鍵，而是按了空格，打開了郵件。郵件的主題是：“想在谷歌工作嗎？”
Mayer read the email and remembered a conversation she had with Eric Roberts who was still a mentor years after she took his computer science class for non-majors. The prior fall, Roberts listened to Mayer talk about the recommendation engine she’d built, and then told her she should meet with a pair of Ph.D. students who were working on similar stuff. Their names: Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
梅耶爾讀了郵件，想起了和艾瑞克-羅伯茨的談話，那時他還是個導師，幾年之後，她就旁聽了他的電腦科學課程。羅伯茨聽了梅耶爾講了她創建的搜索引擎，並且告訴她應該見見兩位博士生，他們也同樣在做這件事。他們就是：謝爾蓋-布林和拉里-佩奇。
Mayer realized that Google was their startup. Trusting Roberts' recommendation, she replied to an email she had meant to delete, writing that she’d like an interview.
梅耶爾意識到谷歌是他們的發源地。出於對羅伯茨的信任，她回覆了這封本來要刪掉的郵件，在郵件中她寫道自己想去面試。
