It almost seems inevitable at this point – Google will be pulling out of China. It is unclear about what exactly will still be available to the millions of people who use Google’s services every day here, but staff at Google.cn were rumoured to have spent yesterday watching Avatar and eating a farewell meal, before either joining the US office or finding new employment.
看来这已经成了不可避免的事实 – 谷歌将撤出中国了。目前还不清楚究竟在这里的数百万每天使用谷歌的人还能使用什么谷歌的服务，但Google.cn的员工有传言说，昨天在他们决定要么加入美国办事处或找新的工作之前，他们去看了阿凡达，吃了散伙饭了。
It’s true that Google wasn’t making huge amounts of money in China, and it’s true that they were not the number one search engine – but let’s be realistic: 2nd place in a market of a billion people is still pretty damn good. They will be missed by a lot of people…and yesterday mourners gathered to pay their respects at Google’s offices.
的确，谷歌在中国没怎么赚钱，也确实，他们不是头号搜索引擎 – 但是让我们面对现实：在一个10亿人口的市场第二名仍然相当好了。它仍然将被很多人怀念…昨天在谷歌中国办事处门口有很多人来表示哀悼了。

这不是再见-只是‘下次再见’！
