三星方面證實不會因Note7停售而提前發佈Galaxy S8

Amid its ongoing Galaxy Note 7 smartphone safety crisis, mobile industry giant Samsung said it will release its next flagship Galaxy S8 on schedule in late February.

儘管Galaxy Note 7智能手機仍處於持續不斷的安全危機中，不過手機行業巨頭三星電子依然表示，將於2月底發佈其下一代旗艦Galaxy S8。

"Currently we do not have any plans to release Galaxy S8 early," reported South Korean media ETNews last Tuesday quoting an unnamed high-ranking official of Samsung.

韓媒ETNews上週二援引匿名的三星高層官員的消息稱：“目前，我們沒有任何提前發佈Galaxy S8的計劃”。

The official described a widely speculated early release of its next generation smartphone Galaxy S8 "realistically impossible" even the company stopped selling its current flagship Galaxy Note 7 out of safety concerns.

人們普遍猜測下一代智能手機Galaxy S8將會提前發佈，不過該官員則評論這一猜測“實際上是不可能的”，即使該公司出於安全考慮停止銷售目前的旗艦Galaxy Note 7。

Galaxy S8 is expected to be launched on Feb. 26, 2017, one day ahead of the opening of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Galaxy S8預計將於2017年2月26日在西班牙巴塞羅那舉行的世界移動通信大會開幕的前一天正式推出。

But market began to cast doubt on Galaxy S8's release date as the company has been dealing with an unprecedented consumer safety crisis caused by the Galaxy Note 7, its most advanced phone ever.

但手機市場已經開始質疑Galaxy S8的發佈日期，因爲該公司一直在處理由其最先進的手機Galaxy Note 7造成的前所未有的消費者安全危機。

After multiple cases of phones overheating or catching fire, Samsung recalled around 2.5 million Note 7 smartphones in September.

經過多次手機過熱或起火的案例之後，三星在9月份召回了約250萬臺Note 7智能手機。

Samsung later announced its decision to scrap the whole model less than two months after the flagship smartphone's debut.

隨後不久，三星在其該款旗艦智能手機首次亮相不到兩個月的時間後，宣佈決定停產整個機型。

While an early release of Galaxy S8 has been ruled out, talk of a possible delayed launch remains.

雖然Galaxy S8提前發佈的消息已被排除，但可能延遲發佈的話題仍在繼續。

The development of the new smartphone has been delayed by two weeks as engineers are working to dig out the cause of Note 7's overheating problem.

由於工程師們正在努力挖掘Note 7的過熱問題，新款智能手機的開發已經因此推遲了兩個星期。
