郭炳湘

斯坦福大学（stanforduniversity）的一位医师出具了诊断书，法庭文书上仅证实是马尔多纳多医生（drmaldonado），“郭炳湘过去偶尔咨询过他的参考意见”。

This diagnosis was made by a doctor at Stanford University , identified in court papers only as Dr Maldonado , whom " Walter Kwok had in the past occasionally consulted for a second opinion " .

郭炳湘从未公开证实关于那次绑架的事实或细节。

Walter Kwok has never publicly confirmed the fact or any details of the kidnapping .

在上周四董事局会议前数日，两位弟弟修改会议议程，纳入终止郭炳湘主席及行政总裁职务的一项动议，并提议任命他们的母亲邝肖卿（KwongSiu-hing）为董事局主席。

In the days leading up to yesterday 's board meeting , the younger brothers amended the agenda to include a resolution terminating Walter 's appointment as chairman and chief executive , and proposing that their mother , Kwong Siu-hing , be appointed chairman .

事实证明，郭炳湘和两个弟弟之间休战的愿望维持的时间很短。

The desire for peace between him and his two younger siblings proved brief .

郭炳湘是否为调查提供了信息，目前不得而知。

It is not clear whether Walter was a source of information for the investigation .

郭炳湘找到三位专家，他们全都得出结论，认为郭炳湘并未患有任何精神紊乱的疾病。

Walter found three experts , who all concluded he did not suffer from any mental disorder .

上文提到的香港基金经理表示：你永远无法知道，郭炳湘会不会卷土重来，再搞出一些什么名堂。

You never know whether Walter will come back and do something nasty , says the Hong Kong-based fund manager .

进而，他们表示，目前应当撤除郭炳湘的职务，理由是他近来的行为，但没有进一步详述。

Instead , they said Walter should now be stripped of his title because of his recent behaviour , without being more specific .

郭炳湘上周还起诉他的两个弟弟诽谤，根据就是他们写给董事局的一封信函。

Mr Kwok last week also sued his two brothers for defamation on the basis of a letter they sent to the board .

在会议上，郭炳湘与董事局达成协议，没有放弃自己的职责，而是请3个月的休假。

At the meeting , Walter brokered a deal with the board to instead relinquish his responsibilities and take a three-month leave of absence .

一个月后，他的两位弟弟召集了一次董事局会议，投票决定是否终止郭炳湘担任行政总裁及主席的职务。

A month later , the younger brothers called a board meeting to vote on terminating Walter 's appointment as chief executive and chairman .

郭炳湘宣称，他被罢免董事长是因为自己希望调查公司某些问题，提高公司治理水平。

He claimed he was being forcibly removed as chairman because he wanted to investigate certain matters in the company and improve corporate governance .

这一争吵在上周变得公开化，当时，郭炳湘赢得了一项临时法庭禁令，阻止董事局投票罢免他的主席职务。

The spat became public last week when Walter Kwok obtained a temporary court injunction to stop the board from voting to oust him .

郭炳湘还出具一封来自马尔多纳多医生的电邮，称这种情绪失控治愈的可能性很大，3个月的时间足以康复。

Walter also produced an e-mail from Dr Maldonado saying that the mood disorder was highly treatable and three months would suffice for the cure .

1月份，郭炳联告诉郭炳湘，他不再适合担任主席和行政总裁职务，因为他患有躁郁症。

In January , Raymond told Walter he was no longer fit to work as chairman and chief executive because he had bipolar affective disorder .

郭炳湘的两位弟弟指称，他们的兄长在十多年前遭绑架后，一直受到精神问题困扰，因而不适合担任领导职位。

Walter was accused by his brothers of suffering from a mental condition after being kidnapped more than a decade ago and therefore unfit to lead .

郭炳湘向法庭宣称，两位弟弟还发送给董事局另外一份备忘录，称“郭炳湘的健康状况不再有什么关系”。

The younger brothers also issued a separate memo to the board saying " the medical condition of Walter Kwok was no longer relevant " , Walter claimed to the court .

现年61岁的郭炳湘当时给这家家族企业董事会写了一封信，信中说：兄弟三人，何必相煎？

Walter , 61 , then wrote a letter to the board of the family-owned company that said : We three are brothers . Why should we keep fighting each other ?

在递交法庭的文书中，郭炳湘表示，他与两位弟弟的争议始于一年之前，起因是他努力“整体改革新鸿基地产管理层”。

In court papers , Walter said disputes with his two younger brothers began a year ago as a result of his efforts to " generally improve the management of SHKP " .

这是他免职以来首次接受国际媒体采访，在采访中郭炳湘还表示，应任命更为独立的非执行董事，加入董事局并赋予他们更大的话语权。

In his first interview with the international media since his demotion , Mr Kwok also suggested appointing more independent , non-executive directors to the board and empowering them to have a greater say .

三人均缺席今年3月份的业绩发布会，主持记者招待会的高级经理遭到了记者们连珠炮般的提问，询问主席兼行政总裁郭炳湘休假一事。

All three were absent at the March briefing and the senior managers who hosted the press conference were barraged with questions about the leave of absence taken by Walter Kwok , chairman and chief executive .

郭炳湘表示，董事局还同意根据来自至少另外两位专家的独立医学意见，在3个月内再次举行投票，其中一位专家将由郭炳江和郭炳联指定。

According to Walter , the board also agreed to vote again in three months ' time based on independent medical opinions from at least two other experts , one of whom was to be nominated by Thomas Kwok and Raymond Kwok .

然而，一位知情人士称，新鸿基的董事们对郭炳湘越来越不满意，有些项目和投资，他未与董事局磋商便作出商业决策，而其他董事认为这些项目和投资并不妥当。

A person close to the company , however , said Sun Hung Kai directors grew displeased with Walter Kwok making business decisions on projects and investments that he did not consult the board over , and which the other directors felt were misguided .

在他递交法庭的文书中，郭炳湘宣称，无视独立医学建议推进董事局投票，相当于违反了他与董事局3个月前达成的协议，因此不应允许投票继续进行。

In his court filings , Walter claimed that pushing ahead with the vote in spite of the independent medical advice amounted to a breach of the agreement he brokered with the board three months ago , and so the vote should not be allowed to go ahead .

新鸿基地产是香港最大的上市房地产开发商，拥有450亿美元的市值。该公司董事局原定昨日就郭炳湘的命运进行投票。他也是执掌该公司的郭氏三兄弟中最年长的一位。

The board of Hong Kong-listed Sun Hung Kai Properties , which has a market capitalisation of $ 45bn , was due to vote yesterday on the fate of Walter Kwok , chairman and chief executive , the oldest of the three Kwok brothers who steer the company .
