双语：Uber联合创始人Kalanick辞去首席执行官

　　Uber Technologies co-founder Travis Kalanick stepped down as chief executive of the ride-hailing service, following intense pressure from investors, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.

　　周三，优步公司发言人宣布，出于来自投资者的强烈压力，优步科技的联合创始人Travis Kalanick卸任叫车服务的首席执行官。

　　Kalanick’s resignation comes after a months-long investigation led former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who was hired by Uber to look into its culture and workplace practices after a female former employee publicly accused the company of what she described as brazen sexual harassment.

　　Kalanick辞职是在美国前总检察长Eric Holder领导的为期一个月的调查之后。在一位女性前雇员公开指责公司对她进行无耻的性骚扰之后，优步雇用Eric Holder调查企业文化和工作实践。

　　Five large investors, including venture capital firm Benchmark, demanded that the CEO resign immediately in a letter delivered to Kalanick while he was in Chicago, the New York Times reported citing people with knowledge of the situation.

　　纽约时报报道据知情人士透露，包括风险投资企业的标杆在内的五大投资者要求首席执行官趁着Kalanick在芝加哥的时候，立即将辞职信送到他那里。

　　In the letter, titled "Moving Uber Forward," the investors also said the company needed a change in leadership.

　　在这封题为“推动优步前进”的信中，投资者还表示，公司需要更换领导层。

　　Kalanick discussed with at least one Uber board member and after hours of discussions with some of the investors, he agreed to step down, the report said. He will remain on Uber board.

　　报道称：Kalanick与不止一个Uber董事会成员讨论过，之后与一些投资者讨论时，他同意辞职,但将继续留在优步董事会。

　　"I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investors’ request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight," the paper quoted Kalanick as saying.

　　纽约时报援引Kalanick的话：“我热爱优步胜过爱这个世界上任何东西，在我个人生活的这个艰难时刻，我接受投资者的要求，这样Uber才可以发展而不是被斗争分心。”

　　Kalanick told employees last week, he will take time away from Uber, part of the series of measures the ride-hailing company is taking to claw its way out from under a mountain of controversies.

　　Kalanick上周告诉员工，他会花时间离开优步，这个叫车公司正采取一系列措施以使自己从众多争论中走出来。
