Yahoo announced Tuesday that it plans to cut at least 10% of its workforce, or more than 1,500 employees, in the fourth quarter in an effort reduce costs.

雅虎周二表示，为节约成本，该公司第四季度计划在全球范围内至少裁员10%，超过1500人。

The struggling Internet company also announced sales for the third quarter that were roughly in line with Wall Street's forecasts and earnings that matched expectations.

雅虎公布的第三季度的销售额同华尔街的预期相吻合，利润也符合预期。

Yahoo had 15,200 employees at the end of the third quarter. The much-anticipated round of layoffs comes on the heels of another 1,000 job cuts in late January.

截止今年第三季度末，雅虎在全球范围内共有15,200名员工。预计在2009年一月末会再次裁员1000人。

"We have been disciplined about balancing investments with cost management all year, and have now set in motion initiatives to reduce costs and enhance productivity," said Yahoo co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang in a written statement.

雅虎的创始人和CEO杨致远在一份书面声明中表示，"我们今年一直在试图平衡投资与成本管理之间的关系，现在决定开始削减成本并且提高生产力"

"The steps we are taking this quarter should deliver both near-term benefits to operating cash flow, and substantially enhance the nimbleness and flexibility with which we compete over the long term," he added.

他补充到，"本季度我们所采取的措施，不仅会在短期内有利于公司的资金周转，而且在长期内会增加我们在竞争中的适应性。"

In a conference call after the results were announced, Yang said the company was working to reduce costs in other ways than just slashing jobs, including relocating offices and consolidating real estate. "We are identifying ways we can operate more efficiently," he said.

在宣布裁员后的电话会议中，杨致远表示雅虎一直在努力寻找除了裁员以外的削减成本的方法，包括重新安排办公室和巩固不动产，他表示，"我们一直在辨别更有效率的方法"。

Yahoo's stock has been battered in recent months due to concerns that companies would cut their online advertising spending as a result of the economic slowdown. Executives admitted that Yahoo's performance has been taking a hit from the sluggish economy. "An increasingly challenging economic climate and softening advertising demand contributed to revenues this quarter coming in at the low end of our outlook range," said Yahoo Finance Chief Blake Jorgensen in a statement.
