太萌了!苹果把Emoji表情里的手枪换成了玩具水枪!
Apple has launched a series of more than 100 new and updated emojis. It's replaced the gun with a water pistol and put out new designs it hopes will be more inclusive.
近日,苹果发布了100多个新表情,并更新了之前的一些表情。其中,苹果用一个玩具水枪替代了手枪,并发布了一些它希望显得多样性的新设计。The company says it wants to "ensure that popular emoji characters reflect the diversity of people everywhere".
苹果公司表示,他们希望能确保颇受欢迎的emoji表情能反映出人们种族的多样性。The new green and orange pistol emoji looks more like a toy and will replace the black and silver revolver.
新发布的绿色和桔色水枪替代了之前的黑色和银色手枪,使这个表情看起来更像是玩具。
Emoji on Apple products are designed by the Unicode consortium. It all comes after a series of high-profile shootings in America. However, many people on Twitter have joked that switching a gun for a toy isn't "going to solve anything".
苹果产品的emoji表情都是由Unicode联盟设计的。本次改变源于美国发生的多起枪击暴力事件。不过,很多推特用户开玩笑称,把手枪表情符号换成玩具并不能解决任何事情。It may have been ridiculed on social media by some but anti-gun campaigners were delighted to see the change.
尽管苹果公司的这一决策可能会在社交媒体上遭到嘲笑,但不少反对枪支的运动者还是很乐于见到这一改变的。Apple say the changes are an "exciting update" and "brings more gender options to existing characters". "These include new female athletes and professionals, beautiful redesigns of popular emoji, a new rainbow flag and more family options."
苹果公司表示:“这些变化是一次令人兴奋的更新,会给人们带来更多的性别选择。本次新增了女性运动员与女性专业人士的表情,并对受欢迎的一些表情进行了更加时尚化的外观改造,此外新增了一个彩虹旗以及更多的家庭表情选择。”This isn't the first time that Apple has diversified its collection of approved emojis. Last year it released a range of skin tones for popular faces but received criticism that it used a very yellow colour for the Asian skin.
这已经不是苹果第一次对已发布的表情包进行多样化设计了。去年苹果就曾发布了一系列肤色表情图标,不过却因为给亚洲人设计出很黄的皮肤而备受争议。
