谷歌这下倒霉了! 将面临欧盟前所未有的巨额罚单!

Google faces a record antitrust fine of around 3 billion euros ($3.4 billion) from the European Commission in the coming weeks, the British newspaper Sunday Telegraph said.

据英国《星期日电讯报》报道，在未来几周内，谷歌将面临欧盟委员会开出的30亿欧元左右（折合34亿美元）的创纪录反垄断罚单。

The European Union has accused Google of promoting its shopping service in Internet searches at the expense of rival services in a case that has dragged on since late 2010.

谷歌因在网络搜索中推广自家购物服务、打压竞争对手而遭到欧盟指控，该案件自2010年末一直拖到了现在。

Several people familiar with the matter told Reuters last month they believed that after three failed attempts at a compromise in the past six years Google now had no plans to try to settle the allegations unless the EU watchdog changed its stance.

几位熟知这件事的相关人士上个月接受路透社采访时表示，在过去的六年中，谷歌曾三次和欧盟协商化解纠纷，均告失败。他们以此认为，谷歌现在没有解决这些指控的计划，除非欧盟的监管机构改变自己的立场。

The Telegraph cited sources close to the situation as saying officials planned to announce the fine as early as next month, but that the bill had not yet been finalized.

《星期日电讯报》援引知晓内情的消息人士称，官员计划最早在下个月公布罚款事宜，但是罚金数额尚未最终敲定。

Google will also be banned from continuing to manipulate search results to favor itself and harm rivals, the newspaper said.

该报指出，谷歌也将被禁止继续操纵搜索结果，以使自身得利、损害竞争对手。

The Commission can fine firms up to 10 percent of their annual sales, which in Google's case would be a maximum possible sanction of more than 6 billion euros. The biggest antitrust fine to date was a 1.1 billion euro fine of chip-maker Intel in 2009.

欧盟委员会对企业开出的罚金最高可达其年销售额的10%，这意味着谷歌面临的罚款最高可能超过60亿欧元。芯片制造商英特尔2009年被罚11亿欧元，是迄今为止金额最大的反垄断罚单。

The Commission declined to comment, while Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

欧盟委员会拒绝就此事发表评论，而谷歌公司方面也没有立即对置评请求作出回应。
