Uber's board will seek an experienced boss, perhaps a woman.
當下，董事會正在尋找一位成熟老練的總裁，眾人猜測是一位女性。
He or she will need experience running a multinational.
這位總裁將要擔負起運營一家大型跨國公司的重擔。
Whether the board should hire someone with a background in transport (perhaps from an airline or logistics firm) or a candidate from the technology industry is unclear.
所以，董事會究竟會聘請與交通行業部門（也許是航空或物流公司）有關的人，還是科技公司的人，我們尚未得知。
Some have suggested that Sheryl Sandberg, who serves as number two at Facebook, would be a good choice, but she may not be willing to jump.
有人推測，臉書(Facebook)的二當家雪莉·桑德伯格（Sheryl Sandberg）是個不錯的人選，但是她并不一定愿意跳槽。
Investors in Uber have accepted that Mr Kalanick will stay on the company's board (along with his co-founder and another early executive, he controls the majority of super-voting shares) so he is likely to have a strong influence on the firm.
優步的投資者接受了卡尼克將繼續留任公司董事會（和其聯合創始人以及另一位早期高管一起，他掌控著大部分的超級投票權股份），因而他可能仍對公司有著舉足輕重的影響力。
He will need to exercise restraint.
他需要克制。
Twitter, an internet company that is struggling to attract more users, found it hard to settle on a clear strategy in part because several co-founders who once ran it continued to serve on the board and second-guessed the boss.
互聯網公司推特（Twitter）正在掙扎于爭取更多用戶，他們發現這樣很難找到一個明確的戰略，因為曾經運營它的幾個聯合創始人繼續留任在董事會上而且會事后批評在任老板。
Mr Kalanick's departure should be enough to placate some alienated customers.
卡蘭尼克（Kalanick）先生的離職應該足以安撫一些流失掉的客戶。
Regulators may treat Uber more kindly, too.
監管者也可能更善待優步。
Abroad, its scandals have barely registered.
在國外，丑聞幾乎沒有被媒體報道過。
In the first quarter of this year it notched up record revenues, of $3.4bn.
今年第一季度它取得了創紀錄的收入-----34億美元。
Its losses, of around $700m, are still high but diminishing.
它約為7億美元的損失雖然很高，但是在遞減。
The next chief executive will need to decide whether to chase growth and endure continued steep losses, or cut back on international expansion in order to make more money.
下一任首席執行官將需要決定是否要追求增長同時忍受持續的巨額虧損，還是削減國際擴張來賺更多的錢。
After watching Mr Kalanick push the pedal to the metal, Uber's investors may hope that a more conservative era—in terms of finances as well as culture—is about to begin.
看到卡蘭尼克（Kalanick）先生踩足油門的全速行駛后，優步的投資者們可能希望看到一個財務和文化方面更為保守的時代------這即將開始。
