硅谷要搬家?

Silicon Valley has been the epicenter of the tech industry for decades, starting in 1938 when Bill Hewlett and David Packard started tinkering in a Palo Alto garage.

从1938年比尔·休利特和戴维·帕卡德在帕洛阿尔托的一间车库里开始以来,硅谷几十年来一直是科技行业的中心。

But that may be changing.

但如今形势有变了。

Perhaps the most striking evidence of that: A descendant of the company they founded, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), will move its headquarters to Texas.

也许最显著的证据就是:他们创立的公司的后代惠普公司将把总部搬到德克萨斯州。

On Friday, another longtime Silicon Valley stalwart, Oracle (ORCL), announced plans to join them, saying it will relocate its headquarters to Austin.

上周五,另一家长期在硅谷站稳脚跟的公司甲骨文公司宣布了加入他们的计划,称将把总部迁至奥斯汀。

A string of high profile tech investors and executives are leaving San Francisco, too:

一系列知名科技投资者和高管也将离开旧金山总部。

Last week, Elon Musk said he has moved to Texas after selling his Bel Air homes earlier this year.

上周,埃隆·马斯克表示,在今年早些时候卖掉了贝莱尔的房子后,他已经搬到了德克萨斯州。

Such moves are to be expected during the pandemic, when people are working from home anyway.

这些举措在大流行期间是意料之中的,因为人们反正都是在家工作。

Several tech firms have said they'll give employees the option to permanently work from home even after the pandemic ends.

几家科技公司表示,即使疫情结束,他们也会让员工选择长期在家工作。

But the relocation of corporate headquarters, company founders and big-name VC investors points to a corporate diaspora of the tech industry — and what some have called a "tech exodus" from the Bay Area.

但企业总部、公司创始人和知名风投投资者的搬迁,表明科技行业的企业散居——一些人称之为湾区的“技术外逃”。

Elon Musk says he has moved to Texas

埃隆·马斯克表示,他已经搬到了德克萨斯州。

Some who have already left San Francisco complained of mismanagement of the city and state.

一些已经离开旧金山的人抱怨这个城市和这个州管理不善。

Though it's not clear what exactly they're referring to, California has implemented Covid-19 related restrictions that some in tech — particularly Musk — were critical of (though others in the industry took the opposite tack).

虽然不清楚他们具体指的是什么,但加州已经实施了与新冠相关的限制,一些科技界人士——尤其是马斯克——批评了这些限制(尽管业内其他人采取了相反的策略)。

Florida and Texas, by comparison, have applied somewhat less stringent restrictions.

相比之下,佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州实施的限制没有那么严格。
