The United States Secretary of the Interior declared this Monday that President Donald Trump has directed Apple to redesignate Lake Ontario as 'Lake America' within its mapping application.

美国内政部长于本周一宣称美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已责令苹果公司将其地图应用中对安大略湖的标注更名为“美国湖”

This move follows an executive order signed by Trump targeting the waterway, which is increasingly becoming a focal point in his escalating trade tensions with Canada.

此举紧随特朗普签署的一项针对该水域的行政命令之后,而这片水域正日益成为其对加拿大不断升级的贸易摩擦中的焦点所在

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, appearing on Fox News' 'Mornings with Maria,' conceded that Trump had 'directly engaged with Apple' and expressed unwavering confidence that the designation 'Lake America' would soon be conspicuously displayed on the platform.

内政部长道格·伯格姆在福克斯新闻《与玛丽亚共度早晨》节目中坦言特朗普直接与苹果公司接洽”,笃定美国湖这一称谓不久便会在该平台上赫然呈现

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

苹果公司并未即刻置评请求作出回应

As of Monday afternoon, only a corner of Lake Ontario remained visible on its platform.

截至周一下午其平台之上呈现安大略湖一隅

Over the course of the weekend just elapsed, the rival Google Maps has unveiled for its American users the new designation "Lake America," employed to denote the expanse of water situated between New York State and the Canadian province of Ontario.

就在刚刚过去的周末竞争对手谷歌地图已为美国用户推出了“美国湖”这一新名称,用以指代位于纽约州与加拿大安大略省之间的那片水域

The company has invoked the executive order recently promulgated by Trump, alongside its long-standing convention of adopting the nomenclature designated by the United States Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).

该公司援引了特朗普近期颁布的行政命令以及其一贯遵循的惯例即采用美国地理名称信息系统(GNIS)所指定的命名

In a succinct statement issued on Saturday, Google announced: "Google Maps users in the United States will see 'Lake America,' those in Canada will continue to see 'Lake Ontario,' while users beyond the borders of both nations will be presented with both appellations."

谷歌在一份措辞简练的周六声明中表示:“美国境内的谷歌地图用户将看到‘美国湖’,加拿大境内的用户将继续看到‘安大略湖’,而美国及加拿大以外的用户则将同时看到这两个名称。”

It further reiterated that such updates "adhere to our long-standing policy regarding bodies of water whose names differ across national boundaries."

并重申此类更新遵循了我们长期以来对不同国家名称不一致的水域所采取的政策”。

Last week, Trump proclaimed to the world, setting the tone for the new designation "Lake America"a move that stands as his latest provocation in the trade war against Canada, a conflict that is now driving tariff barriers ever higher on both sides of the border.

特朗普上周昭告天下“美国湖”这一新名号定调——此举堪称其对加拿大贸易战中的最新挑衅而这场贸易战如今正令边境两侧的关税壁垒节节攀升

The executive order he signed on Friday directs the Department of the Interior to formally update the lake's designation within the United States' system of geographic nomenclature.

于周五签署的行政命令责成内政部在美国地理命名体系中对该湖的名称予以正式更新

Yet the president lacks the leverage to compel Canada's submission.

然而总统无力迫使加拿大屈从

America's northern neighbour was quick to voice its displeasure at the notion.

美国的北方邻国旋即对此构想表达了不满

Leaders of the Seneca Nation in upstate New York likewise contended that the move contravenes a treaty dating back 225 years and evinces a "blatant disrespect" for the Indigenous peoples who originally bestowed upon Lake Ontario its name.

纽约州北部塞内卡民族的领袖指出此举违背了已有225年之久的条约彰显出最初赋予安大略湖以名讳的原住民之“公然不敬”。

This is not the first time Trump has undertaken the renaming of waters spanning the American border.

此举并非特朗普首次横跨美国边境的水域实施重新命名之举。

Last year, he ordered the Gulf of Mexico to be redesignated as the Gulf of America, whereupon both Apple and Google updated the corresponding nomenclature on their maps within the United States.

去年下令墨西哥湾更名为美国湾此后苹果谷歌在美国境内的地图上更新了相应名称
