A key reason why Yahoo's board hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO was her deep-reaching social and professional connections through Silicon Valley.
雅虎董事會聘用瑪麗莎-梅耶爾為CEO的一大原因是其在硅谷與科技大腕們深厚的人脈關系。
Those connections were on display last night at a dinner hosted by Nirav Tolia, a longtime Silicon Valley entrepreneur who's now running Nextdoor, a local social network.
這一點在昨晚尼拉夫-托利亞舉辦的晚宴中得以展現。尼拉夫-托利亞是硅谷資深企業家、本地社交網絡Nextdoor的負責人。
A prominent guest: Jony Ive, Apple's senior vice president of hardware and software design. The CEOs of Twitter, Yelp, Path, and Dropbox were also there. Mike Cassidy, a director of the Google X skunkworks, posted a photo of the dinner on Facebook. A source alerted us to its presence.
一大批硅谷科技大腕們齊聚一堂：蘋果硬件和軟件設計高級副總裁喬納森-艾維；Twitter、Yelp、Path和Dropbox公司的CEO也悉數到場；谷歌X部門主管邁克-卡西迪出席并在Facebook上發布了一張晚宴照片。
The interconnections between this group are staggering. Think of how Path's mobile social network relies on Twitter and Apple, for example; or how Apple once courted Dropbox; or how Marissa Mayer, while at Google, reportedly championed an acquisition of Yelp.
這些硅谷大佬們之間的關系讓人感到驚訝。想想看：Path的移動社交網絡依賴于Twitter和蘋果；而蘋果曾欲收購Dropbox；現任雅虎CEO的瑪麗莎-梅耶爾在谷歌時又曾想要收購Yelp。
We contacted several attendees or their press representatives. Stephanie Ichinose, a spokesperson for Yelp, confirmed CEO Jeremy Stoppelman's attendance: "He was at a dinner with a bunch of execs last night. Nothing more to report."
我們聯系了幾位與會人員或其媒體代表。Yelp公司發言人史蒂芬妮-伊奇諾斯證實了該公司CEO杰里米-斯托普爾曼出席了宴會的消息，“他昨晚與其他高層們一起出席了晚宴。其他無可奉告。”
No one else has commented on the event.
