GOOGLE Inc is shutting its online music download service in the Chinese mainland next month because of pressure from local rivals such as Baidu Inc and Tencent's QQ. 由于来自本土竞争对手如百度公司和腾讯QQ的压力，谷歌公司下个月将在中国大陆关闭其在线音乐下载服务。 The service, available only to computers with an Internet address in the mainland, will close on October 19. Users of Music Search will be able to log in and download their stored playlists until then, Google said yesterday. 这项仅限于在大陆有互联网地址的电脑的服务，将在10月19日关闭。谷歌昨天表示，一直到那个时候音乐搜索用户都能登录并下载他们存储的播放列表。 "This is part of an ongoing effort across Google to bring greater focus to our portfolio of products. Our goal is to simplify and improve the Google experience for our users and to devote more resources to high impact products that improve the lives of billions of people," Google said in a statement. “这是谷歌不断努力以更专注于我们产品组合的一部分。我们的目标是为用户简化和改善搜索体验，为高影响力产品投入更多的资源以改善数十亿人的生活。”谷歌在一份声明中说道。 In its Chinese-language company blog, the US-based search giant admitted that the music website's impact had been "less than expected." |
