Google has sacked 48 employees, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment¹ allegations over the last two years, the company's boss has revealed.

据谷歌老板透露，他们近期根据近两年的申诉开除了48名对他人进行性骚扰的员工，其中包括13名高层管理者。

Sundar Pichai, in a letter to employees, said the internet search giant was taking an "increasingly hard line" on sexual misconduct.

桑达·皮采在致员工的一封信中表示，谷歌对与性有关的不当行为的界定将愈发严谨。

The chief executive said none of those who lost their job received a severance² package when they were let go.

因性侵离开公司的人将收不到任何遣散费。

The letter was in response to a media story that accused Google of shielding a handful of executives from sexual misconduct accusations³, including Android creator Andy Rubin.

此前，媒体就曾报道过一篇文章，控诉谷歌包庇多名高管性侵，包括安卓系统的开发者安迪·鲁宾。而这封信就是用来回应的。

Mr Rubin, who denies allegations of misconduct, left the company in 2014, receiving a $90m exit package.

当时鲁宾否认了性侵并于2014年带着9000万美元的遣散费离开了公司。

The NYT story was "difficult to read", Mr Pichai said in the letter, but that Google was "dead serious" about being a "safe and inclusive workplace".

皮采在信中说说那篇文章着实难懂，但谷歌对于营造一个“安全且包容的工作环境”是“非常重视”的。

"We want to assure you that we review every single complaint about sexual harassment or inappropriate conduct, we investigate and we take action," the letter read.

信中写道“我们保证会重新审视每一个关于性侵或不正当行为的投诉，进行调查并采取行动。”
