《中英對照讀新聞》Linking president to penis may put Pole in prison把總統與「那話兒」連結,波蘭人可能要坐牢

◎陳成良

A Polish computer programmer could face up to three years in jail for linking a Polish word for penis to the presidential Web site.

一名波蘭電腦軟體設計師把波蘭語中一個意指「陰莖」的字眼連結到總統網站,可能惹來3年牢獄之災。

Marek W., 23, created a programme that caused the official home page of Polish President Lech Kaczynski to rank first in the list of results on the Google search engine when "kutas", a vulgar term in Polish, was typed in by an Internet user.

23歲的馬瑞克寫出一個程式,使網路使用者在Google搜尋引擎輸入kutas這個粗俗的波蘭文語彙時,會把波蘭總統列奇.卡克辛斯基的官方網站排在搜尋結果的第一順位。

The computer programme did something similar to a practice known as "Google bombing" that links the Web sites of politicians and companies to insulting words or phrases.

該電腦程式與一種稱為「Google 炸彈」的作法類似,會把政治人物及企業的網站,與侮辱性字眼或詞語加以連結。

He has been charged with insulting the president and prosecutors said he could face up to three years in jail if convicted.

他被控污衊總統,檢方表示,如果罪名成立,他可能面臨最高3年徒刑。

"This is not a matter of freedom of speech," said Andrzej Holdys, a regional prosecutor in the southern town of Cieszyn. "If somebody uses a derogatory word to libel the head of state then it's a clear insult which violates the law."

「這無關言論自由,」南部城鎮塞斯寧地區檢察官霍迪斯說。「如果有人用貶抑字眼來詆毀國家元首,就構成侮辱,觸犯了法律。」

新聞辭典

kutas:波蘭語,意思是「啄木鳥」,也是對男人性器官的衊稱。

Google bomb:Google 炸彈,是一種試圖影響特定網頁在Google查詢結果排序的做法。依Google特定演算法,一個被很多相同關鍵字連結到的網站,會在Google得到較高網頁評等,從而影響查詢結果的排序, 即使被連結的網頁和那些關鍵字毫無關係。Google炸彈,也稱「Google清洗」(Google wash),可作動詞也可作名詞。

convict::動詞,(經審訊)判決…有罪,如 a person convicted of murder (一名兇殺犯);亦可作名詞,已被判決的犯人,如a murder convict,意思大致與前例相同。
