加州要鬧獨立了？川普上位的衝擊力果然不小

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.
週二晚間，當川普勝選的爆炸性新聞在硅谷傳開的時候，一些知名技術界人士已經開始呼籲加州脫離美國了。

The broader west coast is a stronghold for the Democrats, and significantly more politically progressive and racially diverse than large swathes of central US.
廣大的西岸是民主黨的一個大本營，而且比起廣闊的美國中部地帶來說，這裏在政治層面更加進步，種族也更具多樣性。

California is also the biggest economy in the US and the sixth largest in the world.
加州也是美國最大的經濟體，是世界第6大。

The campaign for independence – variously dubbed Calexit, Califrexit and Caleavefornia – has been regarded as a fringe movement.
這場獨立運動，目前有很多名稱，包括“脫美”、“加州脫美”、“加利福尼亞獨立”，一直以來都被視爲一個邊緣人羣的運動。

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.
而對這場運動的支持，因爲一個舉足輕重的人的支持而浴火重生了，這個人就是優步的投資人、超級高鐵的聯合創始人Shervin Pishevar.他在一連串的推文中宣佈他計劃籌備一場讓加利福尼亞獨立建國的合法運動。而這些推文有些甚至是在大選的最終結果出來以前就發佈了。
