谷歌遭指控：操縱搜索引擎偏袒希拉里
Hillary Clinton Google suggestions accused of favoring candidate
Earlier this week, an investigative video created by news and pop culture website SourceFed went viral, drawing millions of views on Facebook and YouTube.
本周早些時候,一個由新聞和流行文化網站SourceFed制作的調查視頻火了,臉書和YouTube上的觀看次數達到了數百萬.
The seven-minute-long video accused the search giant Google of manipulating autocomplete suggestions to be more favorable to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, with some examples of how Google differed from its competitors Bing and Yahoo.
這個視頻長達7分鐘,指責搜索巨頭谷歌操控自動補全提示,使結果更有利于民主黨總統候選人希拉里•克林頓,并舉例說明谷歌和其競爭對手必應和雅虎在搜索結果中的區別.
It claimed, for instance, that typing in "Hillary Clinton cri" would result in terms like "Hillary Clinton crime reform" rather than "crimes," or that "Hillary Clinton ind" would yield "Hillary Clinton Indiana" rather than "indictment."
舉個例子,輸入"Hillary Clinton cri",結果就會出來"Hillary Clinton crime reform（希拉里•克林頓刑事改革）"這樣的詞條,而不是"crimes（犯罪）",或者輸入"Hillary Clinton ind"就會出現"Hillary Clinton Indiana（希拉里•克林頓印第安納）",而不是"indictment（起訴）".
In comparison, the video noted that autocomplete results for "Donald Trump rac" would include the word "racist" and "Bernie Sanders soc" would yield "socialist."
相比之下,視頻提到,"Donald Trump rac"的自動補全結果包括單詞"racist（種族主義者）",輸入""Bernie Sanders soc"則會出現"socialist（社會主義者）".
"The intention is clear. Google is burying potential searches for terms that could have hurt Hillary Clinton in the primary elections over the past several months by manipulating recommendations on their site," SourceFed's Matt Lieberman said in the video, published Thursday.
"其意圖很明顯.在過去幾個月的初選中,谷歌通過操控其網站的推薦信息,把有可能不利于希拉里•克林頓的潛在搜索詞條隱藏了起來," SourceFed的馬特•利伯曼在周四發布的這一視頻中說道.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has repeatedly accused the media of biased coverage of "Crooked Hillary," even weighed in on the SourceFed video.
唐納德•特朗普已經確定為共和黨的候選人,他曾數次指控媒體有傾向地報道"狡詐的希拉里",他甚至也在SourceFed的這個視頻里發表了觀點.
"If this is true, it is a disgrace that Google would do that," Trump said in a statement sent to Business Insider. "Very, very dishonest."
"如果這是真的,那谷歌可真丟臉,竟會做這樣的事,"特朗普在給商業內幕網發送的聲明中說道."非常、非常不誠實."
"They should let it float and allow people [to] see how crooked she really is," he added.
"他們應該讓真相浮出水面,讓人們看到她究竟有多狡詐,"他補充道.
But Google is denying that its search results are tipping the scales toward Clinton -- or any other political figure, for that matter.
但是谷歌否認它的搜索結果把天平傾向希拉里——或者其他任何政界人物.
In a statement to the Washington Times, a Google spokesperson said "Google Autocomplete does not favor any candidate or cause."
在給《華盛頓時報》的一篇聲明中,谷歌一位發言人說"谷歌自動補全功能并沒有偏向任何候選人或事件."
