A key reason why Yahoo's board hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO was her deep-reaching social and professional connections through Silicon Valley.
雅虎董事会聘用玛丽莎-梅耶尔为CEO的一大原因是其在硅谷与科技大腕们深厚的人脉关系。

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.
这一点在昨晚尼拉夫-托利亚举办的晚宴中得以展现。尼拉夫-托利亚是硅谷资深企业家、本地社交网络Nextdoor的负责人。

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们齐聚一堂：苹果硬件和软件设计高级副总裁乔纳森-艾维；Twitter、Yelp、Path和Dropbox公司的CEO也悉数到场；谷歌X部门主管迈克-卡西迪出席并在Facebook上发布了一张晚宴照片。

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.
这些硅谷大佬们之间的关系让人感到惊讶。想想看：Path的移动社交网络依赖于Twitter和苹果；而苹果曾欲收购Dropbox；现任雅虎CEO的玛丽莎-梅耶尔在谷歌时又曾想要收购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."
我们联系了几位与会人员或其媒体代表。Yelp公司发言人史蒂芬妮-伊奇诺斯证实了该公司CEO杰里米-斯托普尔曼出席了宴会的消息，“他昨晚与其他高层们一起出席了晚宴。其他无可奉告。”

No one else has commented on the event.
