A Russian court has fined Google two undecillion roubles - a two followed by 36 zeroes - for restricting pro-Russian channels on YouTube, which the company owns. 

俄罗斯一家法院对谷歌处以巨额的罚款——2后面加36个零（按卢布计）——原因是谷歌限制其旗下YouTube上的俄罗斯相关频道。

The virtually（事实上） unpronounceable（难以正确发音的） penalty（处罚） amounts to $20 decillion — or around $20 billion trillion trillion, which is more than the combined total global net wealth of $477 trillion, according to Boston Consulting Group. 

这笔几乎难以读出的罚款总额约合200亿万亿再万亿美元，而根据波士顿咨询公司（Boston Consulting Group）的数据显示，这个数字超过了全球477万亿美元的净财富总和。

Besides, Google's parent company, Alphabet — one of the five most valuable companies in the world — is valued at about $2 trillion. The fine is about 10 billion trillion times the company's value.

此外，谷歌的母公司Alphabet是世界上最有价值的五家公司之一，估值约为2万亿美元。罚款金额约为该公司市值的100万亿倍。
