Scratch China Unicom (CHU) from the list of Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Chinese search partners. The Financial Times reports that the carrier dumped Google's search service from the Android smartphones it's adding to its smartphone lineup.

　　把中国联通从谷歌(Google Inc.)中国搜索业务合作伙伴的名单上划掉吧。据《金融时报》(Financial Times)报导，中国联通放弃了在其智能手机阵容中的Android手机上使用谷歌搜索服务。

　　An obvious and, I suppose, inevitable response to Google's recent defiance of the Chinese government. Said Unicom's president Lu Yimin: 'We are willing to work with any company that abides by Chinese law...we don't have any cooperation with Google currently.'

　　这是对谷歌最近公然挑战中国政府的一种显而易见（我以为也是不可避免）的反应。中国联通总经理陆益民说，我们愿意与任何遵守中国法律的公司合作，目前我们与谷歌没有任何合作。

　　Bad news for Google, which until recently seemed poised to do quite well in the world's largest cellphone market. As the Los Angeles Times notes, 'although it is a distant second on computer searches, Google is nearly tied for first with China's Baidu Inc. for market share in China's nascent mobile-search sector.'

　　对谷歌来说这是个坏消息。谷歌直到最近都看起来有望在中国这一全球最大的手机市场有出色表现。正如《洛杉矶时报》(Los Angeles Times)所说的，尽管在电脑搜索领域远远排在第二位，在中国新生的手机搜索领域，谷歌的市场份额几乎与百度并列第一。

　　Evidently, not for long. I imagine we'll be hearing of a similar move by China Mobile in the near future.

　　很明显，这不会长久的。我猜不久的将来，我们会听到中国移动采取类似的举措。
