Online accommodation site Airbnb is introducing a new policy to combat reports that black people are less likely to get rooms.
在线住宿预订网站Airbnb发布了一条新的规定来回击黑人不容易租到房子这条报道。
The move includes reducing the prominence of photos, introducing new technology, and asking users to sign an anti-discrimination agreement.
这项行动包括减少宣传照片的使用，引入新的技术，要求使用者签署反歧视协议。
A study last year found that people with names that suggested they were black were discriminated against.
去年的一项研究表明：使用能够表明他们黑人身份的名字的人们会遭到歧视。
Many customers have also complained about the issue.
许多客户也抱怨过这个问题。
Using the Twitter hashtag #AirbnbWhileBlack, many users said that they had been told a particular listing was unavailable, only to discover that the same places were re-advertised as available on the dates they had wanted.
利用Twitter的#AirbnbWhileBlack#标签，许多使用者反映到他们曾被告知某一订单不可用，结果却发现同一日期同一地方被重新以可用状态推广。
In an email to users, chief executive Brian Chesky apologised for being slow to address the concerns.
在告顾客信中，主管Brian Chesky为他们迟迟未能解决这一问题而道歉。
"Bias and discrimination have no place on Airbnb, and we have zero tolerance for them," said Mr Chesky. "Unfortunately, we have been slow to address these problems, and for this I am sorry."
Chesky说“在Airbnb偏见和歧视是不存在的，我们对它们零容忍。但是，我们在解决这一问题上显得迟缓，对此我感到很抱歉。”
The statement follows a report commissioned by the company from Laura Murphy, a former official with the American Civil Liberties Union.
这份声明发表后随之而来的是一份来自美国民权同盟前官员Laura Murphy的报告。
The proposed changes include:
提到的改变包括：
Technology that means if a host has said a particular date is unavailable, they will not be able to then offer the dates to different guests Expanding the instant booking scheme, which allows guests to book rooms immediately and without specific approval from the host.All users will have to agree to the company's "stronger, more detailed non-discrimination policy" Provide anti-bias training for all Airbnb employees.
这项技术意味着如果房主宣称某一日的房子已住满，他们将不可以在同一日期将房子租给其他的顾客。扩大即时预订计划将会使顾客快速预定到房子而不需要面对来自房主的特殊要求。所有的使用者都必须遵守公司“更强硬、更详细的反歧视协议”。向所有的Airbnb雇员提供反歧视培训。
Some critics had wanted the photo policy removed altogether, but Airbnb said it was an important security feature.
许多反对者要求取消屏蔽照片的政策，但是Airbnb表示这是一项很重要的安全标识。
