空姐接聽充電蘋果手機觸電身亡 蘋果公司稱將徹查

An iPhone 5 allegedly electrocuted a Chinese flight attendant to death when she picked up the smartphone while charging.
中國一名空姐用正在充電的蘋果手機接電話時被電擊致死。

Ma Ailun, a 23-year-old woman from Xinjiang in northwestern China, was awaiting her wedding on August 18 after quitting her job as a flight attendant, according to her sister who took her claim to China's social network Sina Weibo.
根據死者姐姐的新浪微博（中國的社交網絡），空姐馬愛倫23歲，來自中國西北的新疆自治區。她本計劃辭去工作，爲8月18日自己的新婚之日做準備。

Ma collapsed to the floor and died from electrocution while answering a call while charging her iPhone 5 Thursday, according to local police.
當地警方稱，週四馬愛倫在蘋果手機充電時接電話，不幸遭到電擊，倒地身亡。

The victim's sister demanded a response from Apple, while warning iPhone users of the danger of using phones while charging them.
死者的姐姐要求蘋果公司對此作出迴應，同時告誡所有蘋果手機用戶不要在手機充電時通話。

"We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family," Apple's Beijing-based spokeswoman, said Monday. "We wiill fully investigate and cooperate with authorities in this matter."
蘋果北京分公司發言人週一表示：“我們對這一悲劇事件深感痛心，對死者家屬致以深切慰問，我們將就此事進行徹底調查，並向有關機構提供全力配合。”

The cause of Ma's death has been confirmed by police as electrocution, according to the state news agency Xinhua, but it is unclear as to whether the iPhone was involved or not.
據新華社消息，警方已證實馬愛倫確實是全身過電而死，但仍在調查是否是由於蘋果手機造成。

The likelihood of someone being electrocuted by a smartphone, according to experts, is very low, CNN reports. Even while charging, phones charged from a USB cord have a supply voltage of just 5 volts, which would be harmless to a person.
美國有線電視新聞網報道，專家認爲受充電手機電擊致死的可能性非常小。即使在充電過程中，使用數據線充電的手機只有5伏電壓，幾乎不會造成傷害。只有當電壓達到36伏左右時纔可被人體感知。

"We have seen very few incidents related to shock or electrocution (involving cell phones)," Scott Wolfson, communications director for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, said, according to CNN. "Most of our attention has been on overheating, smoke or fire."
美國消費產品委員會通訊主管斯考特-沃夫森告訴CNN記者：“出現電擊甚至電擊致死（包括手機致死）的情況十分罕見，我們大多數的注意力都放在過熱、冒煙和着火的物體上了。”

When the phone is charged through a substandard or incompatible charger, the risks become greater, because of the possible lack of proper insulation in the charger. Ma's sister, however, insisted that the victim was using the original charger that accompanied the iPhone bought at an official Apple store.
但若手機通過劣質、不兼容的充電器充電，則很可能加大危險程度，因爲充電器裏缺少合適的絕緣材料。然而馬愛倫的姐姐則堅持說死者用的充電器是從官方蘋果專賣店裏買手機時附帶的標準配件。

The iPhone 5 involved in Ma's death is under investigation, and we cannot verify her claim until the results are out. As counterfeit Apple products are widespread in China, "it’s entirely possible to buy a counterfeit charger believing it to be genuine, perhaps even from a counterfeit Apple store," 9to5mac alleges.
馬愛倫使用的手機是iPhone 5，目前案件還在調查中，在結果出來之前無法驗證死者姐姐的話。但假冒僞劣的蘋果產品在中國隨處可見，網友“9to5mac”說：“顧客在假冒蘋果專賣店裏買到假冒的充電器，還以爲買的都是正品，這種事也完全有可能。”

Back in May, the China Consumers’ Association had warned about the risks of a “flood” of uncertified power chargers in the Chinese market, The Wall Street Journal points out. The association warned that the chargers could turn a smartphone into a “pocket grenade” and cause explosions, electric shock, or fires in a variety of electronic devices.
《華爾街日報》指出，早在今年五月，中國消費者協會就對假冒僞劣充電器猖獗的市場現象作出警告，稱這些充電器有可能把智能手機變成“裝在衣袋裏的手榴彈”，造成多類電子產品爆炸、漏電或起火。

The bride-to-be was also fresh off from the bath when she took the phone call. Moisture on the skin can diminish humans' natural resistance to electric shock.
據悉，這位準新娘接電話前剛剛洗過澡。潮溼皮膚也會減弱人體的電擊阻抗力。
