當谷歌地圖使用者搜索時敲入字母‘n’，下拉列表會自動顯示白宮。Google is fixing an issue with its Google Maps Search function, which currently leads people to The White House if they search for variations of the n-word with the word house.
谷歌正在修復一個搜索引擎的錯誤,當搜索者敲入字母‘n’和單詞house後，下拉列表會顯示白宮。
Multiple media outlets, including the Washington Post and the Huffington Post, reported the issue Tuesda y afternoon after a Twitter user first posted a screen shot of the problem.
許多媒體，包括華盛頓郵報和赫芬頓郵報,在一名推特使用者首次發佈這個問題的快照後，都進行了報道。
"Some inappropriate results are surfacing in Google Maps that should not be, and we apologize for any offense this may have caused," a Google spokeswoman said in an email statement.
一名谷歌發言人在電子郵件陳述中說道，"一些谷歌地圖裏本不該出現的不恰當結果被搜索出來，我們對可能已經形成的錯誤表示道歉，"The reason for the problem is unclear, but one search expert thinks it's likely due to how Google links certain phrases and terms to locations on the map.
產生問題的原因還不清楚，但是，一名搜索引擎專家認爲，這很可能是由於谷歌地圖對某些固定的俗語和術語的鏈接定位造成的。"What we think is the cause, is that Google is seeing how people are talking about places on blogs, and Google's making those associations," Danny Sullivan, the notable founding editor of Search Engine Land, t old CNNMoney. Sullivan says this isn.t a problem where someone overtly made this search query redirect ti The White House.
搜索天地引擎的創始人丹尼路沙利文告訴CNN財經頻道,“我認爲原因是，谷歌觀察人們在博客上討論的地點，並讓它們建立聯繫。”沙利文說，有些人的搜素目標直接指向白宮，這不算什麼事。"People might be saying [these things] generally, and it doesn't even need to be a lot references," he a dded. "It's kind of crowdsoucing terms gone bad."
“人們可能平常總是談論這些事情，這些事甚至根本不需要過度聯繫，”他又說,“這是衆包模式的一次惡果。”This is the second major Google Maps issue in the past two months.
這是過去兩個月內谷歌地圖的又一個大問題。In April, someone discovered an illustration of an Android robot peeing on an Apple logo in a rural area of Pakistan. Google suspended its public Map Maker tool and started to review every submission manually after the incident.
在4月份，一些人發現，在地圖上的一個巴基斯坦鄉下地區，出現了一個安卓商標對着蘋果商標撒尿的景象。這件事後，谷歌推遲了它的公共地圖製作工具，並開始手動重新審查每一個提交上來的地圖。Google says it is working to fix The White House Google Maps issue "quickly."
谷歌說，它"很快"就可以修復白宮谷歌地圖的問題。注：衆包 衆包指的是一個公司或機構把過去由員工執行的工作任務，以自由自願的形式外包給非特定的（而且通常是大型的）大衆網絡的做法。
