Google Trends builds on the idea behind the Google Zeitgeist, allowing you to sort through several years of Google search queries from around the world to get a general idea of everything from user preferences on ice-cream flavors to the relative popularity of politicians in their respective cities or countries.

Google Trends 建立在 Google Zeitgeist (Google 流行榜) 的基础上，让你可以看到近几年人们在 Google 上搜索某个词或某几个词的趋势，以及在哪些国家、地区、语言上对这些词的搜索量最多。

With Google Trends, you can compare the world's interest in your favorite topics. Enter up to five topics and see how often they've been searched for on Google over time. Google Trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often.
