谷歌面临反垄断指控（双语）

 　　A group of companies led by Microsoft have called on the European Commission to launch an anti-trust investigation¹ into Google’s dominance of Internet usage on mobile devices. The US company is already under investigation by Brussels for practices related to its dominance of the online search and advertising² markets.

　　在微软公司的带领下，一部分公司诉诸欧盟委员会并要求对谷歌就移动设备在互联网使用上垄断行为进行反垄断调查。

　　The new complaint comes from the "FairSearch" initiative of 17 companies, including Microsoft, Nokia, and Oracle³. Google’s Android operating system is free. But the company requires device makers⁴ to bundle an entire suite⁵ of services to get just one or two "must-have" apps, such as Google Maps and YouTube.

　　该控诉由FairSearch发出，FairSearch是包括微软，诺基亚，Oracle等公司在内的17家公司联盟的创始者。但是，该联盟要求设备制造商将一套完整的服务进行捆绑以成为一到两个必备应用程序，如谷歌地图和优酷视频。

　　The groups claims this is unfair. Google does allow smartphone and tablet makers to sculpt⁶ Android to serve their own needs. In some instances, that has led to Android modifications⁷ that exclude Google’s services.

　　该联盟控诉此类行为有失公平。谷歌确实存在允许智能手机和平板电脑制造商修改Android系统以满足自需。在某些情况下，这导致了Android系统的变化会排斥谷歌服务。
