由于對(duì)人才引進(jìn)和制造業(yè)外遷的態(tài)度保守封閉，特朗普在硅谷從來(lái)就沒(méi)有受人待見(jiàn)過(guò)。如今，特朗普贏了，硅谷真的要哭了。很多硅谷人士擔(dān)心，特朗普的勝利就是他們噩夢(mèng)的開(kāi)始。對(duì)于8日的選舉結(jié)果，硅谷大佬的內(nèi)心是拒絕的，有些大佬甚至宣稱(chēng)要發(fā)起“加州脫美”運(yùn)動(dòng)，讓硅谷所在的加利福尼亞州成為一個(gè)獨(dú)立國(guó)家。

Students protest in Davis, California after Donald Trump was elected Tuesday night.

As Donald Trump's shock election victory reverberated around Silicon Valley late on Tuesday night, some high-profile technologists were already calling for California to secede from the United States.
8日晚，唐納德?特朗普的勝選在硅谷引起了巨大反響，一些知名科技專(zhuān)家已經(jīng)開(kāi)始呼吁讓加州脫離美國(guó)。

The broader west coast is a stronghold for the Democrats, and significantly more politically progressive and racially diverse than large swathes of central US. California is also the biggest economy in the US and the sixth largest in the world with a gross state product of $2.496tn for 2015, according to the IMF.
廣闊的西海岸是民主黨的大本營(yíng)，與美國(guó)中部大部分地區(qū)相比，這里明顯政治更開(kāi)明、種族更多元。加州是美國(guó)最大的經(jīng)濟(jì)體，也是世界第六大經(jīng)濟(jì)體，據(jù)國(guó)際貨幣基金組織稱(chēng)，該州2015年總產(chǎn)值為24960億美元。

The campaign for independence - variously dubbed Calexit, Califrexit and Caleavefornia – has been regarded as a fringe movement. But support was revitalized by influential Uber investor and Hyperloop co-founder Shervin Pishevar, in a series of tweets announcing his plans to fund a "legitimate campaign for California to become its own nation" – posted even before the full results were in.
人們認(rèn)為，這場(chǎng)被戲稱(chēng)為“加州脫美”等不同名字的獨(dú)立運(yùn)動(dòng)是一場(chǎng)邊緣運(yùn)動(dòng)。舉足輕重的優(yōu)步投資人、Hyperloop聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人施歐文?彼西弗卻讓支持者的隊(duì)伍壯大起來(lái)。他甚至在計(jì)票完全結(jié)束前，就發(fā)布了一系列推文，宣布他打算資助“加州獨(dú)立的合法運(yùn)動(dòng)”的計(jì)劃。

A few hours later, Hillary Clinton conceded the election to Trump, and Pishevar told CNBC that he was serious about Calexit. "It's the most patriotic thing I can do," he said, adding that the resulting nation would be called New California.
幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，希拉里承認(rèn)敗選，彼西弗對(duì)CNBC表示，自己是認(rèn)真對(duì)待“加州脫美”運(yùn)動(dòng)的。“這是我能做的最?lèi)?ài)國(guó)的事。”他還說(shuō)由此誕生的國(guó)家將被命名為“新加州”。

If you support an independent New California please RT. #newcalifornia

"We can re-enter the union after California becomes a nation. As the sixth largest economy in the world, the economic engine of the nation and provider of a large percentage of the federal budget, California carries a lot of weight," he said.
他說(shuō)，“加州成為一個(gè)國(guó)家后，我們可以重新加入聯(lián)邦。作為世界第六大經(jīng)濟(jì)體、美國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)引擎以及聯(lián)邦預(yù)算的主要來(lái)源，加利福尼亞身上的擔(dān)子很重。”

Pishevar was supported by others in Silicon Valley. Angel investor Jason Calacanis said that California succession would be simple in the wake of both Brexit and a Trump win.
彼西弗獲得了其他硅谷人士的支持。天使投資人賈森?卡拉坎尼斯表示，繼英國(guó)脫歐、特朗普當(dāng)選后，加州脫美很可能上演。

If Trump can win, & after the #brexit, California succession would be a layup. CA is increasingly more distinct from America. #calexit

如果特朗普勝出，再加上#英國(guó)退歐，加州脫美也將緊隨其后。加州與美國(guó)的區(qū)別越來(lái)越大。#加州脫美

Evan Low, a Democrat serving in the California state assembly, said that he'd support the introduction of a bill to start the independence process.
現(xiàn)就職于加利福尼亞州議會(huì)的民主黨人羅達(dá)倫表示，他會(huì)支持開(kāi)啟加州獨(dú)立進(jìn)程的法案。

In the disastrous case that @realDonaldTrump is elected, I will explore intro of a bill to have CA secede from the union. #kiddingnotkidding
November 6, 2016
鑒于特朗普當(dāng)選總統(tǒng)帶來(lái)的災(zāi)難，我將探索引入一項(xiàng)使加州退出聯(lián)邦的法案。#kiddingnotkidding

Pishevar's comments add weight to the Yes California campaign, which launched in late 2015 calling to create a free, independent California Republic. Led by political activist Louis Marinelli, Yes California proposes a 2019 referendum, following the model adopted by Catalonia to gain independence from Spain.
彼西弗的言論為政治活動(dòng)家路易斯?馬里內(nèi)利領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的Yes California運(yùn)動(dòng)增加了砝碼，該活動(dòng)于2015年底發(fā)起，呼吁創(chuàng)造一個(gè)自由、獨(dú)立的加利福尼亞共和國(guó)。Yes California將跟隨加泰羅尼亞從西班牙獲得獨(dú)立的步伐，計(jì)劃在2019年進(jìn)行公投。

They said Donald Trump wouldn't happen. They said #Brexit wouldn't happen. What're you going to say if they tell you #Calexit won't happen?
November 9, 2016
他們說(shuō)唐納德?特朗普不會(huì)成為總統(tǒng)。他們說(shuō)英國(guó)不會(huì)退歐。如果他們告訴你加州不會(huì)脫離美國(guó)，你怎么看？

The proposal illustrates the technology industry's frustration with Trump over his repeated criticisms of Silicon Valley companies. The Republican leader wants Apple to stop making phones in China, thinks Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post to exert political power and avoid paying taxes, and claimed that Mark Zuckerberg's push for specialist immigration would actually decrease opportunities for American women and minorities.
這一提案表明，由于特朗普對(duì)硅谷公司的再三指責(zé)，科技界對(duì)他感到失望。這位共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人希望蘋(píng)果公司停止在中國(guó)制造手機(jī)，認(rèn)為杰夫?貝索斯收購(gòu)《華盛頓郵報(bào)》是為了影響政治力量、逃稅，還稱(chēng)馬克?扎克伯格推動(dòng)專(zhuān)家移民將減少美國(guó)女性和少數(shù)族裔的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。

Over the summer, 100 tech leaders signed an open letter warning that Trump would be "a disaster for innovation" and many others, including Bezos, have spoken out about his behaviour.
今年夏天，100位科技界領(lǐng)袖簽署了一封公開(kāi)信，警告特朗普將是“科技創(chuàng)新的災(zāi)難”，還有包括貝索斯在內(nèi)的許多人已經(jīng)公開(kāi)站出來(lái)反對(duì)他的行為。

Trump's lone public supporter in Silicon Valley was Facebook board member and PayPal billionaire Peter Thiel, and even he acknowledged that the country faced an enormous challenge. "We're going to need all hands on deck," he said in a statement to USA Today. "He has an awesomely difficult task, since it is long past time for us to face up to our country's problems."
特朗普在硅谷唯一的公開(kāi)支持者是臉譜網(wǎng)的董事會(huì)成員、銀聯(lián)億萬(wàn)富翁彼得·蒂爾，不過(guò)就連他也承認(rèn)美國(guó)面臨著巨大挑戰(zhàn)。他在《今日美國(guó)》發(fā)表聲明稱(chēng)，“我們必須攜手共進(jìn)。特朗普的任務(wù)艱巨，因?yàn)槲覀兓撕荛L(zhǎng)時(shí)間才開(kāi)始正視這個(gè)國(guó)家的問(wèn)題。”
