谷歌CEO说：我们离中国市场还很远。
Google CEO to employees: We're 'not close' to launching search in China
谷歌CEO对员工说：我们的搜索产品离在中国上市还‘差得很远’
Google CEO Sundar Pichai has sought to reassure employees who are worried the company might compromise its values to get into China.
谷歌CEO桑达尔·皮查伊设法安抚那些担心为进入中国市场而牺牲公司价值的员工们。
Pichai, at a town hall meeting on Thursday, said he's not rushing to launch a search product for China. The meeting was the first such event since media reports detailed Google's efforts to build a censored app for the country.
皮查伊周四在当地的一次会议上说，他不急于在中国推出搜索产品。这次会议是自从媒体报道谷歌要为中国制作一款通过审查的应用app之后的第一次会议。
"We are not close to launching a search product in China," Pichai said, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation.
有了解内情的人透露，皮查伊说：“我们离在中国发布搜索产品还差得很远。”
"And whether we would do so, or could do so is all very unclear," he said. "But the team has been in an exploration stage for quite a while now and I think they are exploring many options."
The discussion was part of a regular meeting that is open to all employees.
他说:“究竟要不要做，还是能不能做，现在还不明朗。开发团队已经摸索了一段时间，我认为他们正在寻求多种方法。”这是在一次面向所有员工的例会时说到的。
Reports surfaced earlier this month that Google was working on a search engine for China that would block sensitive websites and search terms to comply with Chinese government censorship.
本月初曾经有报道说，谷歌正在为中国制作一款可以屏蔽敏感网站、且搜索内容符合中国政府审查制度的搜索引擎。
The New York Times reported Thursday that around 1,400 employees have signed a letter questioning the plan and calling for more transparency.
纽约时报周四报道，大约有1400名员工联合签名递交信件，质疑这一计划并呼吁对此增加透明度。
"To make ethical choices, Googlers need to know what we're building. Right now we don't," reads a copy of the letter posted on the website of The Times.
在纽约时报网站张贴的信件中写到：“为了做出符合伦理的选择，谷歌的员工需要知道我们制作什么。而现在，我们却一无所知。”
Google declined to confirm the authenticity of the letter, or comment on the town hall meeting.
谷歌拒绝确认这封信的真实性，并对此次会议内容无可奉告。
China has hundreds of millions of internet users and a thriving online shopping market, making it impossible for US tech companies to ignore. But jumping back into China presents ethical issues for Google, which has long advocated a free and open internet.
中国有数以亿计的网络用户和繁荣的在线购物市场，这使得美国的科技公司无法忽略过去。对于谷歌公司长期以来一直都倡导自由和公开的互联网，过往中国则一直向谷歌提出的伦理道德的问题。
Popular Google services including search, YouTube and Gmail have been banned in China for years.
谷歌的包括搜索引擎、YouTube和Gmail邮箱等服务在中国已经被禁多年。
Google stopped offering search in China in 2010 following a political dispute between Beijing and Washington over hacking.
2010年在北京与华府之间因网络黑客事件导致的政治争端发生后，谷歌即停止了在中国的搜索引擎业务。
Prior to 2010, the company had operated a Chinese language version of its search engine. It complied with China's censorship rules, but alerted users to the fact that some search results were missing.
2010年之前，谷歌在中国运营一个中文版的搜索引擎。它恪守中国的审查制度，只提醒用户一些搜索结果或可消失。
