新浪微博將取消140字限制
Sina Weibo will remove its 140-character limit starting Jan. 28 on its developer platform, its CEO confirmed on Wednesday.
新浪微博首席執行官週三證實，自本月28日起，將取消開發者平臺的140字限制。The change came after media reported that U.S. microblogging platform Twitter is considering removing its own 140-character limit, considered an iconic feature of the social media tool.
在媒體報道了美國微博平臺Twitter正在考慮取消140字限制--這一被認爲是社交媒體工具的一大標誌性的特點之後，新浪方面的這一改變也緊隨而來。
On Wednesday, a snapshot of a letter from Weibo Open Platform to its developers was widely circulated on Weibo, where it said the new format is expected to be tested among "senior users" from Jan. 28 and open to all users by Feb. 28. Weibo CEO Wang Gaofei reposted the snapshot on his personal account under the user name "Laiquzhijian."
週三，一封微博開放平臺致內部開發者的信件截圖在微博上廣泛流傳，信件稱新格式預計於本月28日對會員開放試用權限，於2月28日對全部用戶開放。微博CEO王高飛在其名爲"來去之間"的個人微博中轉發了該截圖。
In his retweet, Wang stressed that during the pilot run, only 140 characters will be displayed in followers' feeds and a link will appear to show the entire content if a post exceeds the character limit.
在這條微博中，王高飛強調，測試階段，用戶信息流裏只顯示140字，如果微博字數超限，會出現一條顯示全文的鏈接。China's Sina Weibo boasts over 200 million active users, according to its financial report in 2015.
根據中國新浪微博方面的2015年財務報告顯示，該平臺擁有超過2億的活躍用戶。Twitter's rumored plan to remove its character limit has been fiercely debated on social media, but the company has yet to confirm it.
關於推特將要取消字符限制的這一傳聞在社交媒體上引起了激烈的討論，但是該公司到目前爲止尚未對此進行確認。
