Google has updated its mapping application to rename Lake Ontario as 'Lake America,' a modification applicable exclusively to users within the United States, in response to an executive order recently promulgated by President Donald Trump that altered the lake's designation, as declared by the global technology conglomerate.

谷歌已對其地圖應用程式進行更新將安大略湖更名為「美國湖」,此舉僅適用於美國用戶係響應總統唐納德·川普近期頒布的一項行政命令該命令變更了此湖泊之名稱這家全球科技巨擘如是聲明

The update to Google Maps was executed a mere few days subsequent to Trump's promulgation of the executive order, at a juncture when the US-Canada trade war was at its zenith, with both nations levying additional tariffs amounting to billions of dollars on each other's commodities.

谷歌地圖的更新係於川普頒布行政命令數日之後所為,彼時美加貿易戰方酣兩國對彼此商品課徵數十億美元額外關稅

This maneuver bears a striking resemblance to Google's decision in 2025, when Trump issued a directive to rechristen the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

此舉與谷歌於2025年之決策如出一轍當時川普發布命令將墨西哥灣易名為美國灣

In a blog post published on Saturday, Google elucidated that this decision is predicated upon its established practice of adopting the nomenclature designated by the United States Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).

谷歌於週六發布的部落格文章中闡明此項決策係基於採用美國地名資訊系統(GNIS)所指定名稱之慣例

"Users of the map within the United States will behold the designation 'Lake America'; those within Canada will continue to perceive 'Lake Ontario'; whereas users situated beyond the borders of both nations will simultaneously observe this dual nomenclature," Google stated in a succinct declaration.

於美國境內使用地圖之用戶將目睹『美國湖』之標示於加拿大境內之用戶則持續得見『安大略湖』而身處美加兩國以外之用戶將同時觀覽此雙重名稱,」谷歌於一則言簡意賅之聲明中表示

"This update, adhering scrupulously to our company's long-established policy regarding discrepancies in the appellation of transboundary water bodies, has now commenced its phased, incremental implementation."

此番更新恪遵本公司長期以來對跨國界水域名稱歧異所持之既定方針現已著手分階段逐步推行。」

Trump's Thursday decree to rename the lake has become a lightning rod for derision and contempt on both sides of the Canadian-American border.

川普於週四所頒布的湖泊更名之舉,在加拿大與美國兩地淪為眾矢之的飽受訕笑鄙夷

On Saturday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford delivered a resounding riposte from the Canadian shoreline, emblazoned on a billboard-sized proclamation: "Lake Ontario. From time immemorial, unto perpetuity."

週六安大略省省長道格·福特於加拿大湖濱以一幅廣告看板規模的巨幅訊息對川普之令作出擲地有聲的回應:「安大略湖亙古至今直至永遠。」

Neither the White House, the office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, nor Ford's office issued an immediate response on Sunday to Google's decision.

白宮加拿大總理馬克·卡尼之辦公室,以及福特之辦公室於週日均未即時就谷歌之決策作出回應。

This internet enterprise operates the industry's preeminent search engine and a digital advertising network of considerable magnitude, with its headquarters situated in Mountain View, California, and it falls under the aegis of its parent corporation, Alphabet Inc.
