苹果终于加入了大屏手机的阵营。新的iPhone 6 plus配备5.5英寸显示屏,iPhone6则配有4.7英寸屏,更有N多新增内嵌功能,苹果粉们再也不用对大屏幕羡慕嫉妒恨了。

And just to make the party livelier, Apple unveiled(公布) its first series of smartwatches: the Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Sport and the golden Apple Watch Edition — but you’ll have to wait at least until next year to see them.
更让人兴奋的是,苹果公布了其首批智能手表:苹果手表、苹果手表运动款、以及土豪金版苹果手表。但是你可能还需等到明年才能一睹其真容。

The big new iPhones will be available Sept. 19 — with preorders(预售) starting Sept. 12 — offer a major visual upgrade from the 4-inch displays on the iPhone 5c and 5s. They feature(特点是)Apple’s new, powerful 64-bit A8 processor and will run the new iOS 8 software, which will be available Sept. 17.
新iPhone将于9月19日发售,预售于9月12日启动,并对5c和5s的4英寸手机屏幕进行了重大升级。新手机的亮点包括:配备苹果强大的全新64位A8处理器、运行新的iOS 8操作系统(9月17日正式推出)。

With two-year plans(运营商合约), the iPhone 6 Plus will sell for(以…价位出售) $299, $399 and $499 with 16, 64 and 128 gigabytes of user memory, respectively, while the iPhone 6 will retail for $199, $299 and $399 at the same memory levels.
iPhone 6 plus的2年合约机售价分别为299美元、399美元及499美元,对应16G、64G、128G内存。同样的内存配置下,iPhone 6售价分别为199美元、299美元、399美元。

The new iPhones, as well as the older iPhone 5, 5c and 5s, will work with the new Apple smartwatches. The unveiled wristwear(腕戴设备)includes usability features not seen in Android and other smartwatches seen to date. The screen is not only touch sensitive, but also detects(侦测) different levels of pressure. The crown — the small knob(柄) used for winding(拧发条) mechanical watches — is used to zoom the screen image when necessary.
新iPhone,以及此前的iPhone 5, 5c及5s将可与Apple智能手表协同工作。新发布的腕戴设备具有尚未在安卓及其他家智能手表上提供的可用性方面的新功能。手表的屏幕不仅支持触屏,还能侦测到不同级别的压力。可通过皇冠(机械表上用来拧发条的小钮)按需放大屏幕图像。

A key new feature of the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and smartwatches is Apple Pay, a secure wireless payment system(支付系统) that lets users pay at retail locations by just tapping their devices on near-field communication, or NFC(近场通信), receiver. It doesn’t actually store credit card or PIN numbers but instead creates a secure, one-time use authentication process using a special Secure Element(安全元件) chip embedded in the gadgets.
iPhone 6、iPhone 6 Plus、智能手表共有的一项关键特性是:Apple支付。这是一项安全的无线支付系统,用户可以通过近场通讯(NFC)在设备上轻点,即可完成零售支付。设备并不存储信用卡号或密码,而是通过设备内嵌的特殊安全元件芯片创建一个安全、一次性的用户认证进程。

Obama authorizes airstrikes in Iraq to stop genocide

WASHINGTON — President Obama said Thursday that he authorized “targeted airstrikes” if needed to protect U.S. personnel in Iraq, as well as airdrops of food and water to religious minorities in Iraq who are under siege from Islamic militants and trapped on a mountaintop.

“Today, America is coming to help,” Obama said.

The president’s announcement Thursday amounts to a significant escalation of involvement in the growing Iraqi crisis, but Obama attempted to assure the American public that it would not lead to U.S. involvement in a ground war there.
