美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周四表示,被罢免的英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋给他打了电话,并对所谓的婚外情丑闻给家庭造成的影响表示悔恨。
US President Donald Trump on Thursday said ousted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called him and expressed remorse over what the alleged affairs scandal had done to his family.“I spoke to him yesterday. He’s going through hell,” Trump said in an interview with the broadcaster Stephen A. Smith on Thursday.
“我昨天跟他通了话。他正在经历地狱,”特朗普周四在接受广播主持人斯蒂芬·A·史密斯采访时说。“他最感到难过的是他的妻子和家庭。那是他告诉我的。是他给我打的电话。”
“What he feels most badly about is his wife and family. That’s what he told me. He called me."
特朗普还赞扬了被指控有三段婚外情的黄仁勋,其中一段涉及一名涉嫌为中国间谍的女性,称他做得“非常出色”。“英伟达令人难以置信,”他在采访中说。
Trump also praised Huang, who is accused of allegedly having three affairs, one including with a woman suspected of spying for China, saying he had done an “incredible job.”“Nvidia is unbelievable,” he said in the interview.
特朗普谈黄仁勋的辞职当被问及黄仁勋是否应该辞职时,特朗普说:“关键问题是,那名女子是不是间谍——我不知道这目前是否已认定——但如果那名女子是间谍,是的(应该辞职)。如果那名女子不是间谍,也许情况会不同。”
Trump on Huang’s resignationOn being asked if Huang should have resigned, Trump said, “Well the big thing is, was the woman a spy — and I don’t know if that’s been determined yet — but if the woman was a spy, yes. If the woman was not a spy, perhaps it would be different.”
特朗普指的是中国女商人黄爱丽丝,美国当局怀疑她为北京从事间谍活动。在公司启动内部调查后,黄仁勋周日在给英伟达员工的电子邮件中承认与黄爱丽丝有过婚外情。
Trump was referring to Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman, who US authorities suspect of spying for Beijing. Jensen Huang admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang in an email to Nvidia employees on Sunday, after the company launched an internal probe.
此事最早由《纽约时报》于11月7日报道,随后公司启动了调查。据《时报》报道,黄爱丽丝与黄仁勋关系密切,并涉嫌为中国间谍机构工作。报道将黄爱丽丝认定为亚洲科技公司Megaspeed International(美极速国际)的一名高管。
报道称,美国情报机构告知特朗普政府,认为黄爱丽丝受该机构雇佣,代表北京的国家安全部从黄仁勋处收集情报。
The matter was first reported by the New York Times on November 7, following which the company launched a probe. According to the Times report, Alice Huang had become close to Jensen Huang and was allegedly working for a Chinese spy agency. It identified Alice Huang as an executive for an Asian tech firm, Megaspeed International.US intelligence told the Trump administration that it believed Alice Huang was hired by the agency to collect information from Huang on behalf of Beijing’s Ministry of State Security, the report claimed.
黄仁勋的“第二、第三段婚外情”三天后的周三,该报又报道黄仁勋与一名直接向他汇报工作的公司高管有另一段婚外情。
Huang’s ‘second, third affair’Three days later on Wednesday, the newspaper reported Huang of having another affair with a company executive who reported directly to him.
《纽约时报》周三援引五名曾在该公司工作的人士报道,确认这位高管为英伟达医疗保健副总裁金伯利·鲍威尔。
The New York Times on Wednesday identified the executive as Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare, citing five people who had worked at the company.
路透社援引两名知情人士报道,黄仁勋还被指控据称与第二名未具名员工存在亲密关系,由此涉及婚外情的指控总数增至三起。路透社在报道中未披露该人士的姓名及在公司的职务。英伟达对此报道未予置评。董事会任命临时首席执行官在其涉嫌婚外情曝光后,英伟达董事会于周三召开会议决定黄仁勋在公司的去留。
Huang has been accused of reportedly having an intimate relationship with a second, unnamed employee, Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter, taking the total count of affair allegations to three. The individual's name and designation in the company have not been revealed by Reuters in the report. Nvidia has not commented on the report, either. Board appoints interim CEOFollowing the revelation of his alleged affairs, the Nvidia Corp board met on Wednesday to decide Huang's future at the company.
这家芯片制造商的董事会任命现任执行副总裁兼首席财务官科莱特·克雷斯为临时首席执行官。克雷斯将在担任临时职务的同时,继续履行执行副总裁和首席财务官职责,直至任命永久继任者。
The chipmaker's board of directors appointed Colette Kress, its current executive vice president and chief financial officer, as interim CEO. Kress will continue to serve as executive vice president and CFO alongside her interim role until a permanent successor is appointed.
董事会还任命哈维·C·琼斯为首任董事长。琼斯拥有逾30年企业家、技术高管和风险投资人经验,曾担任新思科技首席执行官和执行董事长。特朗普否认事先知情《纽约时报》早前报道称,特朗普数月前已获知此事。5月飞往北京进行国事访问途中,美国国务卿兼国家安全顾问马尔科·鲁比奥告知特朗普,美国情报机构掌握敏感信息,显示黄仁勋与一名名为爱丽丝·黄的女性有牵连,该女性被怀疑是中国间谍。
The board also appointed Harvey C Jones as its first-ever chairperson. Jones brings more than 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, technology executive and venture investor, including stints as CEO and executive chairman of Synopsys. Trump denies prior knowledgeThe New York Times had earlier reported that Trump was informed about the matter months earlier. During the flight to a state visit to Beijing in May, Marco Rubio, US secretary of state and national security adviser, told Trump that US intelligence agencies had obtained sensitive information suggesting Huang was involved with a woman, Alice Huang, suspected of being a Chinese spy.
《纽约时报》报道,这是七个月内特朗普至少第二次收到涉及黄仁勋与该女性所谓关系的情报。然而,特朗普基本上予以驳回或淡化了这些指控。
The New York Times reported that this was at least the second occasion in seven months that Trump had received intelligence concerning Huang's alleged relationship with the woman. Trump, however, has largely dismissed or downplayed the allegations.
他一贯支持英伟达,称该公司对维持美国的技术优势至关重要,并为近年来股市的涨幅做出了贡献。《纽约时报》援引两名知情人士的话报道,特朗普在周二——即黄仁勋卸任英伟达首席执行官前两天——曾敦促他“为保住工作而战”。总统在周四的采访中预测,黄仁勋最终将从这场惨败中恢复过来。他说:“我可以告诉你这一点——不知怎么的,他最终会东山再起。”
He has consistently backed Nvidia, describing the company as important to maintaining America's technological edge and contributing to the stock market's gains in recent years. Trump on Tuesday, two days before Huang stepped down as Nvidia CEO, had urged him to “fight for his job”, the New York Times reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. The president, in the interview on Thursday predicted that Huang would eventually recover from the debacle. “I can tell you this — somehow he’ll end up on his feet,” he said.
