你好，艾里森先生，我想问的是您雇人的原则是什么?因为我听说，

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

您有一个原则，就是您如果不愿意跟一个雇员共进午餐，

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

那您就会将他解雇，是这样的吗?

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，我对甲骨文的人说，

"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.

不论是哪一个打算雇人的经理，我的建议都是：在你决定要他之前，如果你不愿意跟你要雇的这个人每周两次共进午餐，那就不要雇他。

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

什么样的人你愿意跟他共进午餐或者早餐呢?

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

招人和挑朋友一样，

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

你会选择心地善良、为人不错的人，

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

聪明有趣的人做朋友，他们会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,

所以我们要请的是聪明、有趣、心肠好的人。

You will be willing to sit down for an hour.

雇佣这样的人，你会愿意和他在一起坐上一个小时，

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

一周几次，跟他吃吃午饭，谈谈话什么的。

That gonna make your life and work much more enjoyable .

这会为你的生活和工作增加很多乐趣。

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

如果你在雇人的时候始终能遵循这个原则，那你不仅能成为一个更好的经理，还能成为一个更加快乐的经理。

you will be a more successful manager.

你也会是一个更加成功的经理。

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,

我还想问一个问题。那就是，如果有一位非常有才能的工程师，你想雇佣他，

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

可他现在在给比尔·盖茨干，你会怎么办呢?你会雇他吗?他还?

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

当然会。对我来说，他是否在微软工作过并不是问题。

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

问题在于......我想这没有什么值得大惊小怪的。

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

实际上很少有人在甲骨文和微软之间来回跳槽，

There are almost none.

几乎就没有。

Considering how large both software companies are

你想想看，这两个软件公司都很大，

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

就算是在甲骨文和微软间有人才流动也是很正常的。

Which field are you engaged in now?

你自己是从事什么行业，现在?

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

我还是个学生，现在正在找工作。

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

愿不愿意去他那儿工作?当然了，如果......

Ok,thanks.

好，谢谢。

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

我想，就一起吃午餐吧。我等着。
