谷歌(Google Inc.)副总法律顾问黄安娜(Nicole Wong)说，公司将“坚决”停止审查中国网页搜索结果的做法，但目前还没有具体时间表。
A Google Inc. (GOOG) executive said the company has no timetable yet for when it will stop censoring search results in China, but that the search giant is 'firm' in its commitment to stopping the practice.
黄安娜周二在出席美国国会听证会时说，公司正在和中国政府进行对话，并就去年12月份谷歌服务器受网络攻击一事提供了一些新的细节信息；当时正 是此事促使谷歌决定彻底改变此前在华执行的网络审查制度。
Google deputy general counsel Nicole Wong said the company is in talks with the Chinese government and offered a few new details about the December cyberattacks on Google servers that prompted the company to reverse its policy on censorship in China at a Senate hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
黄安娜说，公司不愿再对中国网页的搜索结果进行审查，我们目前正在考虑自己将何去何从。
'We are no longer willing to censor our search results in China and we are currently reviewing our options,' Wong said.
在此次听证会中，科技公司因为屈从于中国、伊朗等外国政府的网络审查或屏蔽要求而受到了议员们的声讨。
During the hearing, technology companies came under fire for bowing to pressure by foreign governments to censor or block Internet sites in countries like Iran or China.
伊利诺伊州民主党籍参议员、参议院司法委员会(Senate Judiciary Committee)主席迪克•德宾(Dick Durbin)在听证会上说，他将推动立法，要求互联网公司采取合理步骤保护人权，否则有可能承担民事或刑事责任。德宾说他的法案将对那些未能保护用户人 权的互联网公司追究刑事责任。
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), who chairs a Senate Judiciary Committee panel, said at the hearing he will introduce legislation 'that would require Internet companies to take reasonable steps to protect human rights or face civil or criminal liability.' Durbin said his bill would impose criminal liability on Internet companies that fail to protect the human rights of its users.
这些公司称业务所在国的法律有时候会要求它们进行审查或对网站设限。谷歌不久前宣布将停止审查中文网站的搜索结果，此前公司服务器受到了据称来 自中国的网络袭击。
Companies argue that the laws of the countries in which they operate sometimes require censorship or Web site restrictions. Google Inc. recently announced it would stop censoring search results in China after the company's servers came under a cyber-attack there.
黄安娜说，来自互联网、金融、科技、媒体和化学领域的20家大型公司都是去年12月网络攻击的对象。谷歌在另外一项调查中发现，第三方“经常性 地侵入”美国、中国和欧洲人权人士的Gmail帐户。
Wong said that 20 other large companies, in the Internet, finance, technology, media and chemical sectors, were also targets of the December server attacks. Those attacks were separate from an investigation by Google, which found that third parties 'routinely accessed' the Gmail accounts of U.S., Chinese and European-based human rights advocates.
一些议员说科技公司似乎不愿对其他国家侵犯言论自由和人权之举予以反击的做法让自己感到失望。佛蒙特州民主党参议员帕特里克•里希 (Patrick Leahy)说，美国必须正面迎战这种对言论自由的严重挑战。
Several senators said they are disappointed technology companies have appeared reluctant to challenge free speech and human rights abuses in other countries. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.) said the U.S. 'must address these serious challenges to freedom of expression head-on.'
出席听政会的美国助理国务卿迈克尔•波斯纳(Michael Posner)呼应了这一说法。他说，真正重要的是各界都设法帮助这些公司行动起来承担责任，仅凭这些公司自身是无法做到这一点的。
A State Department official echoed that sentiment during the hearing Tuesday. It's really critical that we and you find ways to help companies step up and take responsibility here,' said Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner. 'Companies can't do it alone.'
德宾指出，再无新公司加入谷歌、微软(Microsoft Corp.)和雅虎(Yahoo! Inc.)在2008年提出的反审查反侵犯隐私权动议。他还点名指出Facebook Inc.和Twitter高管拒绝在听证会上作证。
Durbin noted that no new companies have joined an anti-censorship and privacy rights initiative started by Google, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) in 2008. And he singled out Facebook Inc. and Twitter executives for declining to testify at the hearing.
Facebook在一份声明中说公司从事国际业务的人手有限，难以处理各个国家各有不同的法律条款。Facebook在声明中说，当我们要评估 其他国家的业务时，我们必须对此多加斟酌，并考虑到当地的法律、监管及习俗问题。
In a statement, Facebook cited limited international staffing with which to handle the varying laws of other countries. 'When we come to evaluate doing business in any country, we do so thoughtfully and are mindful of the rules, regulations, and customs,' Facebook said in a statement.
普林斯顿大学(Princeton University) IT政策研究中心访问学者迈克金农(MacKinnon)呼吁推出新的法律来推动这些公司向前。她说，就象企业的社会责任包括不能污染空气水源，不能剥削 12岁童工一样，公司也不能在压制和平的言论表达方面助纣为虐。
Rebecca MacKinnon, visiting fellow at Princeton University's Center for Information Technology Policy, called for new legislation to prod companies. 'Just as companies have a social responsibility not to pollute our air and water or exploit 12-year-olds, companies have a responsibility not to collaborate with the suppression of peaceful speech,' she said.
