Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has had an impressive career which famously began at Google, where she spent a decade and made a fortune.
雅虎總裁瑪麗莎·梅耶爾的職業(yè)生涯令人印象深刻，最初開始于谷歌，她在那里打拼了10年，賺了不少。

Her unauthorized biography is detailed here, by Business Insider's Nicholas Carlson. In it, Carlson describes how a lucky keystroke helped Marissa Mayer land at Google, which was then a little-known startup.
她的外傳由“商業(yè)內(nèi)幕”的尼古拉斯-卡爾森詳細(xì)道來。在書里，卡爾森講述了一個(gè)巧合幫助梅耶爾來到谷歌，才有了后來。

When Mayer graduated from Stanford, she received more than 12 job offers. She wasn't interested in adding more opportunities to the pile. So when an email from a recruiter appeared in her inbox, she tried to delete it.
當(dāng)梅耶爾從斯坦福畢業(yè)后，她得到了12個(gè)工作機(jī)會(huì)。她對(duì)更多的機(jī)會(huì)不感興趣，所以當(dāng)她在收件箱里看到招聘人員發(fā)來的郵件時(shí)，她本想刪除掉。

Luckily for Mayer, her finger missed the delete key and she ended up opening the pitch instead. The pitch promoted an opportunity at Google, a startup she had heard about through a Stanford professor.
幸運(yùn)的是，梅耶爾的手指沒有按到刪除鍵，而是不小心打開了郵件。這是谷歌提供的機(jī)會(huì)，她曾在斯坦福的一位教授那里聽說過谷歌這家初創(chuàng)公司。

Carlson describes the lucky incident: Instead of hitting delete, Mayer hit the space bar and opened the email. That email’s subject line: “Work at Google?”
卡爾森這樣描述這件事情：梅耶爾沒有按到刪除鍵，而是按了空格，打開了郵件。郵件的主題是：“想在谷歌工作嗎？”

Mayer read the email and remembered a conversation she had with Eric Roberts who was still a mentor years after she took his computer science class for non-majors. The prior fall, Roberts listened to Mayer talk about the recommendation engine she’d built, and then told her she should meet with a pair of Ph.D. students who were working on similar stuff. Their names: Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
梅耶爾讀了這封郵件后，想起了和埃里克-羅伯茨的一次談話。梅耶爾以前選過他的計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)做選修課，但之后好多年埃里克還一直都是梅耶爾的導(dǎo)師。梅耶爾和羅伯茨講過自己以前創(chuàng)建搜索引擎失敗的事情，羅伯茨當(dāng)時(shí)推薦她去見見兩位博士生，他們也同樣在做這件事。他們就是：謝爾蓋-布林和拉里-佩奇（谷歌創(chuàng)始人）。

Mayer realized that Google was their startup. Trusting Roberts' recommendation, she replied to an email she had meant to delete, writing that she’d like an interview.
梅耶爾這才意識(shí)到谷歌就是謝爾蓋-布林和拉里-佩奇的初創(chuàng)公司。出于對(duì)羅伯茨的信任，她回復(fù)了這封本來要?jiǎng)h掉的郵件，在郵件中她寫道自己想去面試。
