Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook is stepping in again for Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who announced Monday morning that he was going on medical leave. Here a quick refresher on Mr. Cook's career.

　　蘋果公司(Apple)首席營(yíng)運(yùn)長(zhǎng)蒂姆·庫(kù)克(Tim Cook)再次“替班”首席執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)喬布斯(Steve Jobs)。喬布斯周一早間宣布將休病假。以下是庫(kù)克的職業(yè)生涯簡(jiǎn)介。

　　Mr. Jobs, following his return to the company in 1997, hired Mr. Cook in 1998 to oversee the manufacturing of Apple's computers. Before that, the Alabama native, who majored in industrial engineering at Auburn University and earned a master's in business administration at Duke University, had worked in operations at Compaq Computer Corp.

　　1997年喬布斯重返蘋果后，于1998年聘用庫(kù)克主管蘋果電腦的生產(chǎn)。在此之前，庫(kù)克曾效力于康柏電腦公司(Compaq Computer Corp.)。庫(kù)克是亞拉巴馬州人，大學(xué)就讀奧本大學(xué)(Auburn University)，專業(yè)為工業(yè)工程，并獲得杜克大學(xué)(Duke University)工商管理碩士學(xué)位。

　　At Apple, Mr. Cook shed bloated inventories and whipped the company's supply chain into shape. He rose to become the No. 2 executive at Apple under Mr. Jobs. Beginning in August 2004, Mr. Cook ran Apple for two months while Mr. Jobs recuperated from surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his pancreas.

　　在蘋果公司，庫(kù)克削減了龐大的庫(kù)存，并且嚴(yán)格管理公司的供應(yīng)鏈。他成為蘋果公司中僅次于喬布斯的二號(hào)人物。從2004年8月開始，在喬布斯進(jìn)行胰腺腫瘤切除手術(shù)后的康復(fù)期間，庫(kù)克接管蘋果兩個(gè)月。

　　Mr. Jobs later gave Mr. Cook responsibility for Apple's world-wide sales and its Macintosh computer division. In 2005, he was appointed chief operating officer. In 2009, he stepped in for Mr. Jobs again; Mr. Jobs went on medical leave for the first half of the year and and had a liver transplant.

　　喬布斯后來(lái)授權(quán)庫(kù)克負(fù)責(zé)蘋果的全球銷售及蘋果電腦部。2005年，庫(kù)克被任命為首席營(yíng)運(yùn)長(zhǎng)。2009年，他再次“替班”喬布斯──喬布斯上半年休病假，接受了肝臟移植手術(shù)。

　　Mr. Cook ran day-to-day operations during Mr. Jobs's absence and was praised for his ability to make Apple's sprawling operations move on time. He has established himself as the CEO-in-waiting since his stint taking over for Mr. Jobs.

　　在喬布斯休病假期間，庫(kù)克負(fù)責(zé)公司的日常運(yùn)營(yíng)，他令蘋果龐大的業(yè)務(wù)正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的能力得到了贊揚(yáng)。他自從短暫接替喬布斯以來(lái)，已確立了自己的CEO接班人地位。

　　Several people who do business with Apple say their dealings with the company during Mr. Jobs's 2009 leave remained unchanged and that products continue to be developed and released on schedule.

　　數(shù)名與蘋果有商業(yè)往來(lái)的人士說，2009年喬布斯病假期間，他們與蘋果公司的往來(lái)沒有變化，產(chǎn)品仍然按計(jì)劃開發(fā)和發(fā)布。

　　For 2010, Mr. Cook took in a salary of $800,000 in 2010 along with a $5 million bonus and $52.3 million of stock awards. His total compensation was slightly more than $59 million.

　　2010年，庫(kù)克工資收入80萬(wàn)美元，另有500萬(wàn)美元獎(jiǎng)金和5,230萬(wàn)美元的股票獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。他的薪酬總額略超過5,900萬(wàn)美元。

　　More recently, investors have expressed concerns that Mr. Cook might be lured to a competitor. In recent years, Mr. Cook has been the target of overtures from other technology giants in the past: Motorola Inc. tried to hire Mr. Cook while Dell Inc. wooed the executive, according to people familiar with the situation.

　　不久前，投資者表達(dá)了對(duì)庫(kù)克可能被一家競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手挖走的擔(dān)憂。據(jù)知情人士透露，近年來(lái)，庫(kù)克曾一直是其他科技巨頭主動(dòng)示好的目標(biāo)：摩托羅拉(Motorola Inc.)曾試圖聘用庫(kù)克，而戴爾(Dell Inc.)也曾向其示好。
