HBO’s “Game of Thrones” will return next month for the fifth season of epic battles, exhilarating wordplay, and surprisingly well-groomed stars.

《权力的游戏》第五季将于下月回归荧屏。这部场面火爆、妙语连珠、明星大放异彩的美剧深受大家喜爱最大的原因，也许就是它如实的反映了世界的残酷吧 So what about the tech world? Read on the piece written in 2013 to learn what the biggest tech companies tell us about “Game of Thrones,” what “Game of Thrones” tells us about the biggest tech companies.

那么科技界的情况如何呢？重读这篇2013年的旧文，看看几大科技公司与《权力的游戏》之间有什么相似之处。

Google / House Stark

谷歌 / 斯塔克家族

Google’s motto is “Don’t be evil,” and if there’s one family that at least claims to operate under non-evil principles, it’s House Stark.

Google的行事准则就是：不为恶。剧中唯一能与这个准则匹配的就是斯塔克家族。
