📖 逐句对照翻译
The United States government has proposed a series of measures to limit Google from anti-competition business activities.

The move comes after a federal judge ruled in August Google had violated trade laws by operating its search engine as an illegal monopoly.
此举是在一名联邦法官于8月裁定谷歌通过将其搜索引擎作为非法垄断运营而违反贸易法之后做出的。
The ruling accused Google of paying smartphone makers to ensure that its search engine was set as the default system on new devices.
该裁决指控谷歌向智能手机制造商付费,以确保其搜索引擎在新设备上被设为默认系统。
The U.S. Justice Department brought the antitrust case against Google’s parent company, Alphabet.
美国司法部对谷歌的母公司Alphabet提起了反垄断诉讼。
Last week, the Justice Department issued a set of corrective guidelines for Google.
上周,司法部针对谷歌发布了一系列纠正性指导方针。
Here is a look at the proposed measures as well as the government’s case against the American tech giant.
以下是拟议措施以及政府对这家美国科技巨头的诉讼情况。
What is the Justice Department’s goal?
司法部的目标是什么?
Justice Department officials say the main goal of the proposals is to get Google to stop using its highly popular search engine to illegally block competition and restrict innovation.
司法部官员表示,这些提案的主要目标是让谷歌停止利用其广受欢迎的搜索引擎非法阻碍竞争、限制创新。
The Department said Google’s violations of U.S. trade law had given the company an unfair advantage in the online search business.
该部门表示,谷歌违反美国贸易法的行为使其在在线搜索业务中获得了不公平的优势。
It accuses Google of illegally gaining that advantage.
它指控谷歌非法获取了这一优势。
Google has criticized the court’s decision.
谷歌批评了法院的裁决。
The company’s chief legal officer, Kent Walker, also condemned the Justice Department’s corrective proposals.
公司首席法务官肯特·沃克也谴责了司法部的纠正性提议。
He called the guidelines “wildly overbroad” in an online statement.
他在一份在线声明中称这些指导方针“过于宽泛”。
He added his opinion that the measures seek to go way beyond the court’s ruling.
他补充了自己的观点,认为这些措施远远超出了法院裁决的范围。
Walker said the proposals “would break a range of Google products – even beyond search – that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives.”
沃克表示,这些提案“将破坏一系列谷歌产品——甚至超出搜索范畴——这些产品是人们喜爱并在日常生活中觉得有用的。”
What are some of the Justice Department’s proposals?
司法部有哪些提议?
The Justice Department proposed a series of measures to limit Google from blocking competition from other search engine providers.
司法部提出了一系列措施,以限制谷歌阻碍其他搜索引擎提供商竞争的行为。
The main proposal is a ban on Google from signing deals – worth billions of dollars – to lock its search engine as the default system on Apple’s iPhone and other popular devices.
主要提案是禁止谷歌签署价值数十亿美元的协议,将其搜索引擎锁定为苹果iPhone和其他热门设备的默认系统。
This measure could result in reduced profits for companies that sign such deals.
这项措施可能会导致签署此类协议的公司利润减少。
Other proposed measures include a ban on Google from using search results to favor its own services, such as YouTube or its artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Gemini.
其他提议的措施包括禁止谷歌利用搜索结果偏袒自家服务,如YouTube或其人工智能工具Gemini。
Another would force Google to license its search data to competitors.
另一项则会迫使谷歌将其搜索数据授权给竞争对手。
In addition, the Justice Department is seeking to require Google to be more open about how it sets the prices advertisers must pay to be listed near the top of some targeted search results.
此外,司法部还要求谷歌提高透明度,公开其如何设定广告商为在某些定向搜索结果顶部展示而需支付的价格。
Another proposal would give publishers, websites and content creators the right to request that their data not be included in Google’s search results or be used to train the company’s AI models.
另一项提案将赋予出版商、网站和内容创作者权利,要求其数据不被纳入谷歌搜索结果,也不被用于训练该公司的AI模型。
What comes next in the case?
这个案件接下来会发生什么?
Google will also have the chance to propose its own list of fixes to the court.
谷歌也将有机会向法院提出自己的整改方案清单。
After that, federal regulators will create a new version of the proposals in early March.
之后,联邦监管机构将在三月初制定出新版本的提案。
Court hearings on the proposed measures are set to begin in April and the judge is expected to issue a final decision before September 2025.
关于拟议措施的法庭听证会定于四月开始,法官预计将在2025年9月之前作出最终裁决。
The trial to rule on the final proposals will take place after President-elect Donald Trump takes office.
对最终提案进行裁决的审判将在当选总统唐纳德·特朗普就职后举行。
Trump has made comments suggesting a breakup of Google is not in the U.S. national interest.
特朗普曾发表言论,暗示拆分谷歌不符合美国的国家利益。
However, some recent nominations put forward by Trump’s transition team have favored those who have been critical of big technology companies.
然而,特朗普过渡团队最近提出的一些提名倾向于那些曾批评大型科技公司的人选。
And since the case was brought during Trump's first term, it is likely to move forward.
而且由于该案是在特朗普第一个任期内提起的,因此很可能会继续推进。
But before the final trial begins, Google is expected to appeal the case.
但在最终审判开始之前,预计谷歌将对此案提起上诉。
Experts say this may mean the case could stretch out for years in the courts.
专家表示,这可能意味着此案会在法院拖延数年之久。
