A court in southwestern France has ordered a blogger to pay 2000 dollars in damages and costs after a restaurant owner took exception to an online review. The judge also ordered the writer to change the title of her review because it figured too prominently in Google search results. More details from Janet Barry.
近日，法國西南部法庭責令一博主賠償餐廳老板經濟損失2000美元，原因是該老板對博主的一條網上評論反感。由于這條評論在谷歌搜索結果中太顯眼，法官已責令該博主更換評論標題。珍妮特•巴莉詳細報道。
Caroline Doudet blogs about fashion and books and occasionally food. In August last year, she wrote about her dinner at a small Italian restaurant in Cup Ferret on the southwestern coast of France. It was a disappointing experience. She blogged about poor service and as she saw it, the poor attitude of the owner. She entitled it “The Place to Avoid in Cup Ferret: Il Giardino”. Six months later the restaurant’s owner took it to court claiming the review was unfairly harming his business because it appeared as one of the first Google search results for anyone looking for his restaurant. He objected to the whole article. But the judge restricted it to her decision to the title and ordered Caroline Doudet to change it so that the words “The Place to Avoid” weren’t so prominent in the results. Other bloggers have jumped to Miss Doudet’s defense. One said the judge didn’t seem to understand the technical issues. Bloggers, they say, only have so much control over how their posts rank in search engines. Caroline Doudet says the decision seems to make ranking well on sites like Google. She’s now removed the offending article from her blog.
卡洛琳•圖特經常發布一些時尚和書籍方面的博文，偶爾也會涉及美食。去年8月份，她在法國西南沿海Cup Ferret的一家意大利小餐館用餐后，發表博文稱這是一次令人失望的經歷。文章中描述了差勁的服務，她覺得老板的服務態度很差。文章被冠以“Cup Ferret不能去的餐廳：Il Giardino”。半年后，餐廳老板將博主告上法庭，稱不公正的評論嚴重損害了餐廳生意，因為只要在谷歌中搜索他的餐廳，都能明顯看到這條評論。他否定了整篇文章，但法官只要求卡洛琳更換文章標題，使之在搜索結果中不占據頭條。其他博主站出來力挺卡洛琳，其中一人說，法官似乎不明白技術上的問題。他們說，博主能控制的也只有文章在搜索引擎上的排行了。卡洛琳稱，這個決定似乎讓文章在谷歌上排序更靠前了。她已經從博客中刪除了這篇有冒犯性的文章。

珍妮特•巴莉報道。
The next, US presidential election may not be for another two years, but one of President Obama’s legacies may have had a bigger impact than most, the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care, his attempt to spread health care insurance to those traditionally unable or unwilling to get coverage. There have been plenty of challenges with the technology and continuing court cases as well as apparent successes with millions of Americans signing up. First question, why Kentucky?
來看下一則新聞。距離美國總統選舉還有不到兩年的時間了。奧巴馬留下的影響最大的財富就是平價醫療法案，也稱“奧巴馬醫改”，他希望把那些以前買不起或不想買醫療保險的人都納入醫療保險的行列。期間有技術方面的障礙，還有不斷的法律糾紛，同時也有顯著的成效，數百萬美國人都擁有了醫療保險。第一個問題，為什么在肯塔基州做采訪？
Because it’s the only southern state to have embraced all the provisions of Obama Care. Well, Kentucky went ahead, it took the federal dollars, it did both those things. And it’s been a success. 421,000 people have signed up through the state’s insurance exchange and many of them never had insurance before. The majority are now getting free health care. And many others are getting heavily subsidized private insurance. So the basic question then is does that mean the Americans have been won over. And I say yes, in part, in Kentucky at least. What I found was a lot of gratitude for the new health care provisions.
因為它是南方各州中唯一一個享受奧巴馬醫改所有條款的州。在這方面，肯塔基州走在了前列，它利用聯邦的資金，做了兩件事，并且都取得了成功。42.1萬人通過本州的保險交易所完成了注冊，很多人以前從未買過保險。如今，大部分人都享受到了免費醫療。另外一大部分人也享受到了私人保險方面的大力補貼。那么，一個基本的問題就是，這是否意味著醫改獲得了美國民眾的支持？是的，部分上是這樣的，至少肯塔基州民眾買賬了。我聽到的大部分是對新的醫改條款的感激。
