  今年八月,美国政府调查苹果(Apple)为何拒绝谷歌(Google)著名的语音管理应用软件,作为回应,苹果向联邦通信委员会(FCC)表示:“与公布的报道相反的是,苹果并未拒绝谷歌语音(Google Voice)这项应用,而是继续在对其进行研究。”

  What Google had to say about that was unknown because unlike Apple, which made public its response, Google asked that key portions of its letter to the FCC be kept confidential to protect "sensitive commercial conversations" between the two companies.

  谷歌对此事的看法当时不详,因为与苹果公开回应不同的是,谷歌要求对其致联邦通信委员会信件的关键部分保密,以保护两家公司间“敏感的商业对话”。

  现在谷歌泄露了秘密。在上周五的博文中,谷歌律师理查德·惠特(Richard Whitt)宣布,谷歌没有反对数项《信息自由法案》(Freedom of Information Act)要求,而是于上周四请求联邦通信委员会公布其信件的未编辑版。

  You can read the full letter on the FCC's website, but the thrust of the previously undisclosed passages is that Apple's top marketing executive personally told Google that its app had been rejected. The key section is this one:

  你可在联邦通信委员会的网站上阅读完整的信件,但此前未公开段落的要点是,苹果顶级营销高管亲自告知谷歌其应用已被拒绝。关键部分如下:
