Sometimes Google Translate don't get it exactly right.
In fact if you listen carefully to anyone french they do actually pronounce the e in carrefour, but it's not distinctive.
The emphasis is on the double r.
Imagine saying carrot four and dropping the t.
It should sound something like 'CARR a FOUR'.
