Chinese tech companies have sparked controversy on social media after choosing to motivate their male employees by hiring "programming cheerleaders".
"Their job includes buying programmers breakfast, chitchatting and playing ping-pong with them," the report said.

科技公司雇佣“程序员鼓励师”来激励男性员工,此举在社交媒体上引发了争议。
报道称,“她们的工作包括为程序员买早餐,陪他们聊天、打乒乓球。”
在一家已雇佣三名女性程序员鼓励师的公司中,人力资源部经理透露,公司里的程序员“男性偏多,社交能力很差”。这些女鼓励师激励他们工作,大大提高了工作效率。
【讲解】
文中的programming cheerleader就是“程序员鼓励师”的意思,其中cheerleader作名词,意为“支持者”,如:the leading cheerleader(主要支持者),是由cheer(欢呼)和leader(领导者)组合而成,类似的合成词还有:fireplace(壁炉),watchtower(瞭望塔)等。
第二段中的chitchat既可以作动词,也可以作名词,意为“闲聊,聊天”,如:During a lunch break, he and the buyer passed the time with some chitchat.(午饭休息时间,他与顾客闲聊以消磨时间。)
