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.

周二晚间，当川普胜选的爆炸性新闻在硅谷传开的时候，一些知名技术界人士已经开始呼吁加州脱离美国了。

The broader west coast is a stronghold for the Democrats, and significantly more politically progressive and racially diverse than large swathes of central US.

广大的西岸是民主党的一个大本营，而且比起广阔的美国中部地带来说，这里在政治层面更加进步，种族也更具多样性。

California is also the biggest economy in the US and the sixth largest in the world.

加州也是美国最大的经济体，是世界第6大。

The campaign for independence – variously dubbed Calexit, Califrexit and Caleavefornia – has been regarded as a fringe movement.

这场独立运动，目前有很多名称，包括“脱美”、“加州脱美”、“加利福尼亚独立”，一直以来都被视为一个边缘人群的运动。

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.

而对这场运动的支持，因为一个举足轻重的人的支持而浴火重生了，这个人就是优步的投资人、超级高铁的联合创始人Shervin Pishevar.他在一连串的推文中宣布他计划筹备一场让加利福尼亚独立建国的合法运动。而这些推文有些甚至是在大选的最终结果出来以前就发布了。

如果川普当选，我就要宣布并筹办一场让加州独立建国的合法运动。
