CHICAGO -- Apple has relabeled Lake Ontario to "Lake America" for U.S. users of its Maps app, following competitor Google days after President Donald Trump ordered a new name for the body of water amid his escalating trade war with Canada.
芝加哥讯——苹果公司已将其地图应用中的安大略湖重新标注为“美国湖”,供美国用户使用。这一举动紧跟竞争对手谷歌,而就在几天前,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普下令为该水域更换新名称,当时他正与加拿大展开不断升级的贸易战。

As of Wednesday morning, Apple Maps displayed "Lake America" for U.S. users looking at the lake that sits between the state of New York and Canada's Ontario province. Users outside of the U.S. still saw the Lake Ontario name.
截至周三上午,美国用户在苹果地图上查看位于纽约州与加拿大安大略省之间的这片湖泊时,会显示“美国湖”。 美国以外的用户仍能看到“安大略湖”的名称。
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Earlier this week, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox that Trump had reached out to the company "directly" about the change.
苹果公司周三未立即回应置评请求。 本周早些时候,内政部长道格·伯古姆向福克斯新闻表示,特朗普已就这一变更“直接”联系了该公司。
The president declared the new "Lake America" name last week — marking one of the latest provocations during his trade war with Canada that is now hiking tariffs on both sides of the border. His executive order on Friday directed the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service.
总统上周宣布了“美国湖”这一新名称——这是他在对加贸易战中的最新挑衅举措之一,目前双方边境两侧的关税均在上调。 他上周五发布的行政命令指示内政部更新美国地理名称服务系统中的湖泊名称。
Google Maps rolled out the change over the weekend, citing Trump's order and its already-established practice of using names assigned by the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (or GNIS).
谷歌地图于上周末实施了这一变更,称其依据是特朗普的命令,并遵循其已有的惯例——即使用美国地理名称信息系统(GNIS)指定的名称。
"People using Maps in the U.S. will see 'Lake America,' those in Canada will continue to see 'Lake Ontario,' and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names," Google said in a brief statement on Saturday, reiterating that such updates "follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country."
谷歌在上周六的一份简短声明中表示:“在美国使用地图的用户将看到‘美国湖’,在加拿大的用户将继续看到‘安大略湖’,而美国和加拿大以外的用户将同时看到两个名称。”声明重申,此类更新“遵循我们长期以来针对名称因国家而异的水体的处理政策”。
Trump cannot force Canada to also change the name of Lake Ontario. And America's northern neighbors quickly panned the idea.
特朗普无法强制加拿大也更改安大略湖的名称。 而美国的北方邻国迅速对这一想法表示不满。
"It's Lake Ontario to Canadians and the rest of the world. Now and forever," Ontario Premier Doug Ford wrote on social media Friday.
“对加拿大人和世界其他地方来说,它永远是安大略湖。现在如此,永远如此。”安大略省省长道格·福特上周五在社交媒体上写道。
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also rejected the move last week, invoking the lake's Indigenous roots and noting that the name predates both the Canadian Confederation and U.S. Declaration of Independence. The name Lake Ontario comes from the Huron Indigenous people's word "oniatari:io," which means "lake of shining waters."
加拿大总理马克·卡尼上周也拒绝了此举,他援引该湖的原住民渊源,并指出该名称早于加拿大联邦和美国独立宣言。 安大略湖的名称源自休伦原住民的词语“oniatari:io”,意为“光芒之水”。
This isn't the first time Trump has moved to rename water spanning beyond U.S. borders. Last year, Trump ordered that the Gulf of Mexico be renamed the Gulf of America — and Apple and Google, both based in California, later updated the name on their maps in the U.S.
这并非特朗普首次推动更改跨越美国边界的水域名称。 去年,特朗普下令将墨西哥湾更名为“美国湾”——苹果和谷歌(两家公司均位于加利福尼亚州)后来在美国版地图上更新了这一名称。
But not all map providers have followed suit. MapQuest, in particular, has declared it won't be changing Lake Ontario's label — and gave users the option to name the lake "whatever you want" through a separate online tool. Both the Lake Ontario and Gulf of Mexico names still appear as default on its platform.
但并非所有地图服务商都跟进。 尤其是MapQuest,已明确表示不会更改安大略湖的标注,并通过一个独立的在线工具让用户“随心所欲”地为湖泊命名。 其平台上仍默认显示安大略湖和墨西哥湾的原名称。
MapQuest, owned by California company System1, has reported a surge of downloads recently. On Wednesday, MapQuest topped the charts of free apps with new downloads in both the U.S. and Canada on Apple's App Store.
MapQuest由加利福尼亚公司System1所有,据称近期下载量激增。 周三,MapQuest在苹果App Store美国区和加拿大区的免费新应用下载排行榜上均位居榜首。
