英语新闻听写 苹果手机今天10岁啦!

The Apple iPhone is 10 years old today. When Steve Jobs launched the first iPhone, he promoted it as the combination of three products in one: a mobile phone, an iPod with touch controls, and a "breakthrough internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing¹, searching and maps."

苹果手机今天10岁啦！史蒂夫·乔布斯发明出第一部苹果手机时，他将其改进为三种产品的综合体：移动手机、触控式音乐播放器，以及带有桌面邮件、网页浏览、搜索和地图功能的网络沟通设备。

It was a revolutionary moment in technology -- all of that in "one small and lightweight handheld device." The iPhone "is the most successful consumer device ever created," but where does it go from here? Who knows if the iPhone will remain a rectangular slab² for the next 10 years.

In a statement from Apple CEO Tim Cook, he wrote, "iPhone set the standard for mobile computing³ in its first decade and we are just getting started. The best is yet to come."

苹果公司执行总裁提姆·库克在一份声明中写道，“苹果公司在前十年就制定了移动计算机处理技术的标准，我们才刚刚起步。最好的未来在等着我们。”
