Mayer's job has always been tough: By the time Mayer arrived on the scene in 2012, Yahoo's glory days were already past and it was straggling behind the Googles and Facebooks of the world. But Mayer, the brilliant Stanford grad and early Google employee who helped guide the Web giant's search product to success was a potentially messianicfigure for the company. There were even reports of Yahoo employees putting up Shephard Fairey-style Hope posters featuring their new leader.
KEY WORDS：
straggling 掉队，落后
messianic 救世主的，救星似的

梅耶尔的工作似乎一直都很艰难：在她2012年初登雅虎管理层时，雅虎的光辉时代已成历史并被谷歌和脸书甩在身后。但是梅耶尔，这位杰出的斯坦福高材生同时也是曾帮助引领互联网搜索巨头谷歌的早起员工，在雅虎内部被当成潜在的救世主。甚至有报道称雅虎的雇员张贴谢帕德·费瑞风格作品《希望》，来描述他们的这位新领导。
