太萌了!蘋果把Emoji表情裏的手槍換成了玩具水槍!
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,蘋果發佈了100多個新表情,並更新了之前的一些表情。其中,蘋果用一個玩具水槍替代了手槍,併發布了一些它希望顯得多樣性的新設計。The company says it wants to "ensure that popular emoji characters reflect the diversity of people everywhere".
蘋果公司表示,他們希望能確保頗受歡迎的emoji表情能反映出人們種族的多樣性。The new green and orange pistol emoji looks more like a toy and will replace the black and silver revolver.
新發布的綠色和桔色水槍替代了之前的黑色和銀色手槍,使這個表情看起來更像是玩具。
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".
蘋果產品的emoji表情都是由Unicode聯盟設計的。本次改變源於美國發生的多起槍擊暴力事件。不過,很多推特用戶開玩笑稱,把手槍表情符號換成玩具並不能解決任何事情。It may have been ridiculed on social media by some but anti-gun campaigners were delighted to see the change.
儘管蘋果公司的這一決策可能會在社交媒體上遭到嘲笑,但不少反對槍支的運動者還是很樂於見到這一改變的。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."
蘋果公司表示:“這些變化是一次令人興奮的更新,會給人們帶來更多的性別選擇。本次新增了女性運動員與女性專業人士的表情,並對受歡迎的一些表情進行了更加時尚化的外觀改造,此外新增了一個彩虹旗以及更多的家庭表情選擇。”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.
這已經不是蘋果第一次對已發佈的表情包進行多樣化設計了。去年蘋果就曾發佈了一系列膚色表情圖標,不過卻因爲給亞洲人設計出很黃的皮膚而備受爭議。
