(1). The FredEx conundrum
联邦快递的难题
(2). FedEx’s visionary founder is an old-style disrupter in danger of being disrupted
联邦快递富有远见的创始人是一位老派的破坏者，有被颠覆的危险
(3). 1:For outsiders, FedEx is synonymous with the business it pioneered: the overnight delivery of packages.
2:For insiders, it might just as well be called FredEx.
3:It is virtually indistinguishable from its founder, Fred Smith, who has been boss since 1971.
4:The 75- year-old, who came up with his idea for air freighting packages at Yale University, is the stuff of folklore.
5:Some of it is apocryphal, such as the story that he got a C at Yale for a paper outlining his idea (he can’t recall the grade).
6:But one tale is, if anything, too good to check.
7:In its early days, as the firm flirted with bankruptcy, he saved it with a lucky wager at a blackjack table in Las Vegas.

1:站在局外人的角度来看，联邦快递是其首创业务的同义词：快递隔天送达。

3:该公司的创始人弗雷德?史密斯自1971年以来一直担任该公司的老板。
4:这位75岁的老人在耶鲁大学提出了空运包裹的想法，这个故事广为流传。
5:其中一些是杜撰的，比如他在耶鲁大学得C的一篇论文，这篇论文概述了他的想法(他记不起分数了)。
6:但有一个故事（若存在的话）太好了以至于不知真假。
7:早期，当公司濒临破产时，他在拉斯维加斯的21点赌桌下了一个幸运的赌注，挽救了公司。

(4). 1:Mr Smith is an entrepreneur of the old school. The ex-marine dispatched his first 14 planes in 1973—on the first day they carried 186 packages.
2:FedEx is now the biggest cargo airline in the world, with 681 aircraft and an average volume of 15m packages a day.
3:He has played politics as he plays cards, be that securing deregulation of the air-cargo industry in the 1970s, winning protection from American unions or schmoozing congressmen at the FedEx Field, home to the Washington Redskins.
4:Among American firms, FedEx has long been one of the most recognisable, admired and popular to work for.
5:In January the board in effect gave Mr Smith tenure for life, by waiving the firm’s retirement age of 75 for executives.
6:“Like a Supreme Court judge,” chuckles one admirer.

1:史密斯先生是一位老派的企业家。1973年，这位前海军陆战队员派出了第一批14架飞机，第一天就运送了186个包裹。
2:如今，联邦快递是全球最大的货运航空公司，拥有681架飞机，平均每天运送1500万件包裹。
3:他一边玩牌，一边玩弄政治，比如在上世纪70年代确保放松对航空货运行业的管制，赢得美国工会的保护，或者在联邦快递的地盘上（华盛顿红皮球队的主场）与国会议员拉关系。
4:在美国公司中，联邦快递一直是最受认可、最受尊敬、最受欢迎的公司之一。
5:今年1月，董事会通过免除公司高管75岁的退休年龄，实际上给予了史密斯终身职位。
6:“就像最高法院的法官，”一位仰慕者笑道。
