你好，艾里森先生，我想問的是您雇人的原則是什么?因為我聽說，

one of your principles is that if you won’t .you are not willing to have lunch with the guy,

您有一個原則，就是您如果不愿意跟一個雇員共進午餐，

you will kick him off, is that right, with lunch?

那您就會將他解雇，是這樣的嗎?

Oh,yes yes.That’s very interesting.A long time ago, I said to Oracle,

是的。很有趣吧?很久以前，我對甲骨文的人說，

"Before you hire somebody,my advice to any hiring-manager,if you’re not willing to go to lunch with this person you’re to hire twice a week, don’t hire them.

不論是哪一個打算雇人的經理，我的建議都是：在你決定要他之前，如果你不愿意跟你要雇的這個人每周兩次共進午餐，那就不要雇他。

What kind of people would you like to have lunch or breakfast with?

什么樣的人你愿意跟他共進午餐或者早餐呢?

I mean who is the people you pick for your friends.

招人和挑朋友一樣，

You pick people who are ,you have good heart ,nice people.

你會選擇心地善良、為人不錯的人，

And people they are bright and interesting, have interesting ideas.

聰明有趣的人做朋友，他們會有一些有意思的好主意。

So I think we’ve to find someone who is bright and interesting,and who has a good heart,

所以我們要請的是聰明、有趣、心腸好的人。

You will be willing to sit down for an hour.

雇傭這樣的人，你會愿意和他在一起坐上一個小時，

You know ,a couple of times a week, have lunch and talk to that person.

一周幾次，跟他吃吃午飯，談談話什么的。

That gonna make your life and work much more enjoyable .

這會為你的生活和工作增加很多樂趣。

If you apply that test for hiring all the time,you will not only be a better manager, you will be a happier manager,

如果你在雇人的時候始終能遵循這個原則，那你不僅能成為一個更好的經理，還能成為一個更加快樂的經理。

you will be a more successful manager.

你也會是一個更加成功的經理。

Would you like to have breakfast with him?

你愿不愿意跟他吃早餐?

well ,lunch tomorrow.

好啊，就明天的午餐吧。

Well may I ask another question that if you want to have a very talent engineer or manager work for you,

我還想問一個問題。那就是，如果有一位非常有才能的工程師，你想雇傭他，

but now, at present he is working for Bill Gates. What will you do ?Would you hire him or not?

可他現在在給比爾·蓋茨干，你會怎么辦呢?你會雇他嗎?他還?

Sure ,I have no problem someone who’s worked for Microsoft.

當然會。對我來說，他是否在微軟工作過并不是問題。

It depends probably...eh...I don’t think it’s anything to get excited about...

問題在于......我想這沒有什么值得大驚小怪的。

in fact there is very people that have gone back and forth between Oracle and Microsoft.

實際上很少有人在甲骨文和微軟之間來回跳槽，

There are almost none.

幾乎就沒有。

Considering how large both software companies are

你想想看，這兩個軟件公司都很大，

there has been almost no people that have gone between Oracle and Microsoft.

就算是在甲骨文和微軟間有人才流動也是很正常的。

Which field are you engaged in now?

你自己是從事什么行業，現在?

I am quite a student.Now I’m looking for a job.

我還是個學生，現在正在找工作。

Are you willing to work for him? Of course ,if...

愿不愿意去他那兒工作?當然了，如果......

Ok,thanks.

好，謝謝。

I think you,...just,,,to have lunch.(Ok,thanks) I’m waiting.

我想，就一起吃午餐吧。我等著。
