据特朗普称，当他要求谷歌首席执行官桑达尔·派奇将大西洋改名时，派奇对他说：“不，不，不。这一次我不干了……海洋不一样，先生。”总统周三在南卡罗来纳州的一次集会上讲述了这个故事。
“No, no, no. This time I’m not doing it… Oceans are different, sir.”That is what Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said when Donald Trump asked him to rename the Atlantic Ocean, according to Trump. The president told the story at a rally in South Carolina on Wednesday.
特朗普说，派奇告诉他，海洋“覆盖了真正很多国家”。他对人群表示，他可能会“放弃”这个想法。特朗普引述派奇的话说：“请别让我们干那事。”《华盛顿邮报》报道，谷歌尚未证实该通话曾发生。“现在我们需要一个海洋”特朗普先列举了他已更改的名称。
Trump said Pichai told him that oceans “cover really a lot of countries”. He told the crowd he would “probably pass” on the idea. “Please don’t ask us to do that,” Trump quoted Pichai as saying. Google has not confirmed that the call took place, The Washington Post reported. “Now we need an ocean”Trump started with the names he has already changed.
“所以我们有了一个湖，还有一个湾。现在我们需要一条河，还需要一个海洋，”他说。
“So we have a lake and we have a gulf. Now we need a river and we need an ocean,” he said.
他说，他只会在大西洋或太平洋上标注“特朗普”或“美国”。于是他给谷歌地图打了电话，他说谷歌地图在湖的问题上“表现非常出色”。
He said he would put “Trump” or “America” only on the Atlantic or the Pacific. So he called Google Maps, which he said had been “really great with the lake”.
他称赞派奇和谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林是“绝对的天才”。他补充说，他们“至今仍因海湾一事而震惊”。
He called Pichai and Google co-founder Sergey Brin “totally brilliant guys”. He added that they were “still rattled from the Gulf”.
放弃大西洋后，特朗普转向太平洋。他说他将把它称为“美国海洋”。非首次讲述五天前，特朗普在佐治亚州道尔顿的一次集会上讲过一个版本的故事。据 CNN 报道，他说曾给谷歌发过“一张小图片”，标注为“特朗普海洋”。
After dropping the Atlantic, Trump turned to the Pacific. He said he would call it “the American Ocean”. Not the first time he told it Trump told a version of the story five days earlier, at a rally in Dalton, Georgia. He said he had sent Google “a little picture” labelled “The Trump Ocean”, CNN reported.
“他们说：‘先生，看，好吧。这个我们做不了。海洋不一样。’……我说我只是开玩笑。那次我确实是在开玩笑，”特朗普在道尔顿说。
“They said, ‘Sir, look, OK. This one we can’t do. Oceans are different.’ … I said I was only kidding. That time I was,” Trump said in Dalton.
一天后，在肯塔基州的一次集会上，他说曾给谷歌地图打电话谈论海湾的事。谷歌迄今更改的内容去年，谷歌为美国用户将墨西哥湾重新标注为“美国湾”。8 月，在特朗普签署行政命令两天后，谷歌开始用“美国湖”取代安大略湖显示。苹果地图于 9 月跟进。
A day later, at a rally in Kentucky, he said he had called Google Maps about the Gulf. What Google has changed so far Google relabelled the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America for US users last year. In August, it began showing Lake America in place of Lake Ontario, two days after Trump signed an executive order. Apple Maps followed in September.
