On Sunday afternoon, Susan Fowler — now an engineer at payments company Stripe — published an essay alleging that Uber’s human resources representatives ignored multiple reports of sexual?harassment?and sexism during her year-long stint at the company.
星期天下午，支付公司Stripe（一家在線支付服務商）的一位工程師蘇珊·福勒發(fā)表了一篇文章，聲稱她在優(yōu)步（Uber，美國的滴滴）公司工作的一年里，優(yōu)步的人力資源代表無視了多次關于性騷擾以及性別歧視的反饋。

In response to her essay, calls to #deleteUber — a hashtag that gained steam when people thought the car-hailing service was trying to profit off the backs of taxi drivers protesting President Donald Trump’s travel ban — have cropped up on Twitter again. Uber CEO Travis Kalanick stepped down from a Trump advisory council in part due to the vehement response to the widespread complaints.
（先前）人們認為這家打車服務商試圖從抗議特朗普禁行令的出租車司機身上獲取利益，因此推特上就出現(xiàn)了一個“刪掉優(yōu)步”的話題標簽。這次因為她的文章，呼吁“刪掉優(yōu)步”的話題標簽再次出現(xiàn)在推特上，而且愈演愈烈。優(yōu)步總裁特拉維斯·卡拉尼克退出了特朗普的顧問委員會，從某種程度上來講就是由人們對普遍抗議的強烈響應所引起的。

The #deleteUber movement hit the business hard, with Uber reporting over 200,000 account deletions, although other sources said the number was even higher.
“刪掉優(yōu)步”的活動使優(yōu)步的生意遭受了沉重的打擊，據報道優(yōu)步被刪掉的賬戶已達20多萬，然而其他信息來源稱這個數字甚至可以說更高。

Now this new controversy — especially since Uber has previously been criticized about its commitment to the safety of female customers, some obviously sexist ads and also several very questionable comments from its top execs related to women — has the potential to make those numbers rise even further.
如今，特別是因為先前人們就指責了優(yōu)步對女性顧客安全方面的承諾、批判了優(yōu)步的一些明顯帶有性別歧視的廣告，還批評了優(yōu)步高管對女性的幾個非常有問題的評論，因此這場新的爭議可能會使該數字進一步增長。

So it’s no surprise that Kalanick responded quickly to the Fowler essay on Twitter. “I have just read Susan Fowler's blog. What she describes is abhorrent and against everything Uber stands for and believes in,” wrote Kalanick, who claimed it was the “first time this has come to my attention.” “We seek to make Uber a just workplace and there can be absolutely no place for this kind of behavior at Uber — and anyone who behaves this way or thinks this is OK will be fired."
所以，卡拉尼克迅速地在推特上回應了福勒這篇文章也就不足為奇了?！拔覄傋x了蘇珊·福勒的博客。她所描述的情況（與優(yōu)步）是不相符的，而且與優(yōu)步所支持并信奉的一切相悖，”卡拉尼克寫道，他還聲稱這是“第一次因為這類事件而引起他的關注?！薄拔覀兞D使優(yōu)步成為一個公正的工作場所，在優(yōu)步絕對不會出現(xiàn)這種行為。任何如此行事的人或是認為這沒問題的人都會被解雇?！?/div>

He also said the company’s recently hired head of human resources, Liane Hornsey, will be launching an “independent” investigation into Fowler’s claims, along with independent board member Arianna Huffington.
他還表示，優(yōu)步最近聘請了莉恩·霍恩西擔任人力資源主管，她將與獨立董事阿莉安娜·赫芬頓一起對福勒的聲明進行“獨立”調查。
