创业成功人士访谈录 第54期:我非常喜欢自己的工作(4)

 　　When the Olympics was going on we saw a little bump there.

　　在奥运会期间，掘客网网站流量有所增长。

　　When there’s big tech news or Apple events you always see bumps there.

　　此外，在出现重要科技新闻或者有关苹果的消息时，情况也是如此。

　　We’ll have to see. We haven’t really done any estimates on that.

　　我们会考虑的。我们还没有对网站流量进行任何评估。

　　CNN had that big debacle with a user-submitted story, about Steve Jobs having a heart attack, which turned out to be fabricated.

　　不久前，美国有线新闻网因其新闻网站用户发布“史蒂夫乔布斯心脏病发作”的假新闻而造成大崩溃。

　　What’s your policy for what happens if something gets “dugg” that isn’t true and which could have a big impact on stock performance or elsewhere?

　　如果你们也遇到这种不真实却会对股市或其他领域产生很大影响的事情出现在网站上，你们怎么办？

　　The good news is that we have a lot of people that are actively¹ looking for that and who flag and bury content based on whether or not it’s inaccurate².

　　幸运的是，我们有很多人在积极地寻找新闻，根据真实性选择宣传还是掩埋该新闻。

　　There's probably not a day that goes by that there isn’t a piece of content flagged on the site as inaccurate.

　　实际上，这种事情，在我们的网站每天都在发生。

　　Do you employ anyone to keep tabs on that?

　　你们是否有专门雇用人员进行曰常监控？

　　No. This is all done by the masses.

　　没有。这些工作实际是“依靠群众”在进行。

　　We’re fortunate enough to have millions of people come to the site every day, and thousands of people vote.

　　我们很幸运，因为每天都有几百万的人访问我们的网站，而且成千上万的人在上面投票。

　　(They can say), “this is bad，” and we can apply that tag to it.

　　如果他们说， “这个不好”，我们就会据此对这些潜在地不准确的信息进行标定

　　We’ll display a little stamp that gives a warning that the community has flagged it as potentially inaccurate. We see that every single day.

　　警示大家这条信息被公众认为是虚假的。在我们的网站上，这种事每天都有。

　　If a company serves a takedown notice because something was dugg about them that isn’t true, would you comply?

　　如果有些公司通知你们删除某些关于它们的不实信息，你们是否会照做？

　　In the past you’ve been very vocal³ about not interfering⁴ with the community.

　　毕竟，你们在过去一直强调不干预用户发言？

　　We’ll only take things down that we receive like DMCA cease-and-desists that come to us.

　　只有在与数字化千年版权法案 (DMCA )发生抵触的情况下，我们才会删除这些信息。

　　Often it’s something like that there’s a link to a pirated copy of Photoshop.

　　通常来说，只有在出现一条Photoshop盗版软件链接等类似情况下，我们才会这样。

　　But normally that sort of thing gets buried on its own because users won’t promote piracy⁵ directly.

　　不过一般来说，这类信息一般会被覆盖，因为用户们不会直接宣传盗版。

　　We get a few a month but it’s never a big deal because it’s usually just blatant⁶ piracy.

　　这样的事情我们每月都会遇到一些，但通常都是公然的盗版，所以并不难处理。
