谷歌遭指控：操纵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.
本周早些时候,一个由新闻和流行文化网站SourceFed制作的调查视频火了,脸书和YouTube上的观看次数达到了数百万.
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.
这个视频长达7分钟,指责搜索巨头谷歌操控自动补全提示,使结果更有利于民主党总统候选人希拉里•克林顿,并举例说明谷歌和其竞争对手必应和雅虎在搜索结果中的区别.
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."
举个例子,输入"Hillary Clinton cri",结果就会出来"Hillary Clinton crime reform（希拉里•克林顿刑事改革）"这样的词条,而不是"crimes（犯罪）",或者输入"Hillary Clinton ind"就会出现"Hillary Clinton Indiana（希拉里•克林顿印第安纳）",而不是"indictment（起诉）".
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,视频提到,"Donald Trump rac"的自动补全结果包括单词"racist（种族主义者）",输入""Bernie Sanders soc"则会出现"socialist（社会主义者）".
"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.
"其意图很明显.在过去几个月的初选中,谷歌通过操控其网站的推荐信息,把有可能不利于希拉里•克林顿的潜在搜索词条隐藏了起来," SourceFed的马特•利伯曼在周四发布的这一视频中说道.
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, who has repeatedly accused the media of biased coverage of "Crooked Hillary," even weighed in on the SourceFed video.
唐纳德•特朗普已经确定为共和党的候选人,他曾数次指控媒体有倾向地报道"狡诈的希拉里",他甚至也在SourceFed的这个视频里发表了观点.
"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."
"如果这是真的,那谷歌可真丢脸,竟会做这样的事,"特朗普在给商业内幕网发送的声明中说道."非常、非常不诚实."
"They should let it float and allow people [to] see how crooked she really is," he added.
"他们应该让真相浮出水面,让人们看到她究竟有多狡诈,"他补充道.
But Google is denying that its search results are tipping the scales toward Clinton -- or any other political figure, for that matter.
但是谷歌否认它的搜索结果把天平倾向希拉里——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."
在给《华盛顿时报》的一篇声明中,谷歌一位发言人说"谷歌自动补全功能并没有偏向任何候选人或事件."
