Google is once again reaching out a helping hand all the way across the globe. This time in the form of Chromebooks.
谷歌再次在全球范围内伸出援助之手。这次捐赠的是Chromebook笔记本。
Google's calling it Project Reconnect. And the company hopes it does just that--reconnects refugees in Germany with their old life.
谷歌称之为“项目重连”,希望在德国的难民能恢复过去的生活。
The philanthropic arm of the tech giant announced it's donating 5.3 million dollars to the cause to partner with nonprofits to distribute 25,000 Chromebooks.
谷歌的慈善机构宣布捐赠530万美元给非营利组织伙伴,分发 25,000台Chromebook笔记本。
The director of Google.org wrote in a blog post: "As they make it through a dangerous journey, the first thing refugees need is to find shelter, food and access to care. But soon enough, they have to learn the local language, acquire skills to work in a new country and figure out a way to continue their studies — all in an effort to reclaim and reconnect with the lives they had before."
谷歌主管在博客中写道:“他们度过了一段非常危险的旅程,难民们需要做的第一件事是寻找住所、食物和医疗。但很快,他们必须学习当地的语言,掌握在新国家的工作能力,并找到继续学习的方法,这一切都是为了重新找回他们过去的生活。”
Wired reports the devices won't be handed out to individuals but will be used in Internet cafes and for other educational events.
《连线》杂志报道,这些设备不会分发给个人,可以在网吧和其他教育活动中使用。
This isn't Google's first effort to pitch in overseas. Last fall, the company pledged to match donations to nonprofits providing food and shelter to refugees in need. The company also launched Crisis Info Hub, a mobile site with information about lodging, transportation and more.
这不是谷歌在海外的第一次伸出援助。去年秋天,谷歌承诺向非营利组织捐赠食物和住所给需要帮助的难民。该公司还推出了“危机信息中心”,一个提供住宿,交通和更多的信息的移动点。
Google hopes the first Chromebooks will be up and running in Germany by March.
谷歌希望第一批Chromebook笔记本3月能在德国运行。
