关于谷歌你绝不知道的7件事
7 Things You Definitely Didn't Know About Google
Google isn't the same little search engine you remember. It's now part of Alphabet, a new conglomerate started by Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. In honor of this coming-of-age, we're paying homage to Google's history with a few fun facts about the company:
谷歌不再是你记忆中的小搜素引擎了,它现在是Alphabet的子公司.Alphabet是谷歌联合人谢尔盖•布林、拉里•偑奇新创办的联合企业.为了庆祝谷歌的成长,我们列举了一些关于谷歌的趣事聊表敬意：
1. Google officially prefers dogs over cats
比起喵星人,谷歌官方更喜欢汪星人
The company's love of dogs is written into its corporate code of conduct: "Google's affection for our canine friends is an integral facet of our corporate culture. We like cats, but we're a dog company, so as a general rule we feel cats visiting our offices would be fairly stressed out."
谷歌的公司行为准则里也提到了对汪星人的喜爱："对狗狗们的感情是我们的企业文化不可分割的一个部分.我们也爱猫咪,不过我们是一家爱犬公司,所以,一般而言,如果有猫咪在办公室里活动的话,我们会很紧张."
2. The first Google Doodle was an "out of office" message while Page and Brin went to Burning Man
谷歌第一个涂鸦标志表达了"暂停营业"的讯息,因为当时佩奇和布林都去参加"火人艺术节"了
On August 30, 1998, Brin and Page placed the Burning Man stick figure on Google's logo to let everyone know they'd be attending the notoriously raucous music festival. Eventually these doodles became a tradition used to celebrate different holidays and events. There have been more than 2,000 doodles over the years.
1998年8月30日,布林和佩奇把"火人"简笔画搬到了谷歌的标志上,让大家知道他们要参加著名的音乐节狂欢了.后来,每到节假日和重大事件纪念日,都有用涂鸦来纪念的传统.多年来,谷歌涂鸦已超过2000个.
3.Google once went down for a few minutes and wrecked the Internet
谷歌宕机几分钟,危及整个互联网
Google experienced a 2-minute outage in August 2013, and it caused Internet page views to plummet 40 percent. Now THAT'S power.
2013年8月,谷歌曾宕机2分钟,全球网络流量暴跌40%.这就是谷歌的强大影响力！
