An insight into the Corporate Culture at Facebook
Many pegging the great corporate culture as the reason Facebook has risen as high and fast as it has.
throughout the company since its inception. 译文:脸书公司的价值观是其企业文化的坚实基础,自公司创立以来,这种价
值观便一直是公司的主旋律。 解析:此句翻译需要注意句子较长,首先要读懂句子,其次需要按照意群切分
句子,即The corporate culture at Facebook is firmly held up by the values \ that have echoed throughout the company since its inception,最后再根据汉语的语言表达逻辑 适当调整语言顺序,重组句子。此句中的echo是一隐喻修辞,翻译时使用了隐喻修 辞扩展了原文意义,即这种价值观便一直是公司的主旋律。隐喻是英汉语言的共同 特征,隐喻的本体或喻体的翻译往往难以达到形式的对应,因此应以功能是否对等 为取舍标准。
Benefits and Perks Known for its employee friendly working environment, the benefits
and perks of working at one of the biggest companies in the world are unrivaled by most. Adding to the corporate culture at Facebook, the benefits of being a “booker” are awesome and varied from their new parent benefits, vacation benefits, eating and food benefits, to health insurance and so on.
To have the biggest impact, we need to focus on solving the most important problems. It sounds simple,but most companies do this poorly and waste a lot of time. We expect everyone at Facebook to be good at finding the biggest problems to work on.
Company Values
The corporate culture at Facebook is firmly held up by the values that have echoed throughout the company since its inception. The values are those that help with the direction of every aspect in the company. From hiring, promoting, social activities and basically any other area which I haven’t mentioned. Because with the companies values, come its direction. Helping to make decisions and above else, move the company forward while adhering to its overall mission.
Move Fast Moving fast enables us to build more things and learn faster. We’re less
afraid of making mistakes than we are of losing opportunities by moving too slowly. We are a culture of builders, the power is in your hands. Be Open
Be Bold Building great things means taking risks. We have a saying: “The riskiest
thing is to take no risks.” In a world that’s changing so quickly, you’re guaranteed to fail if you don’t take any risks. We encourage everyone to make bold decisions, even if that means being wrong some of the time. Focus on Impact
译文:很多人认为脸书公司卓越的企业文化是其迅速崛起的原因。 此句翻译需要注意非谓语动词的翻译,汉语中不存在非谓语动词,此处非谓语动 词翻译需要注意的是词性转换。此句中“pegging”为动名词,译成汉语时将其转换 为动词,“many”译成汉语时转换为名词。
2. The corporate culture at Facebook is firmlyed
Build Social Value Facebook was created to make the world more open and connected, not just
to build a company. We expect everyone at Facebook to focus every day on how to build real value for the world in everything
Competitive Atmosphere As more great companies do, Facebook attracts the best. With this, you
could imagine the competitiveness among employees. Still, it’s believed that through such companies attract the best and brightest. Knowing this, it’s easy to believe how Facebook grew into the company it has, as some of the world’s brightest minds are working shoulder-to-shoulder and pushing each other for excellence. Now, the trick to this, is to keep the atmosphere competitive, while still foster growth, enjoyment and learning. This is where the corporate culture at Facebook has excelled. Facebook doesn’t merely employ the best and let them fight to the death for promotions or other benefits. Facebook ensure the competitiveness is positive, by developing their staff.
Office Layout
The corporate culture at Facebook is empowering and inspiring to all who stroll through the doors. Aiming to have a “frictionless” work space, Facebook has everyone working together on big, white, communal desks.Even Zuckerberg doesn’t have an office. Instead, opting to work alongside the other employees in the“bull-pen” like workspace. Potentially having an intern work alongside the CEO is incredibly
We believe that a more open world is a better world. The same goes for our company. Informed people make better decisions and have a greater impact, which is why we work hard to make sure everyone at Facebook has access to as much information about the company as possible.
