面对iPhone手机早期买家的强烈不满,苹果公司(Apple Inc.)宣布将向当初以全价购买iPhone手机的消费者发放一款存有100美元的苹果专卖店“Apple Stores”消费卡.
Facing a backlash from early buyers of the iPhone, Apple Inc. (AAPL) said it would issue a $100 credit for Apple Stores to iPhone users who paid full price for the product.
苹果公司首席子执行长斯蒂夫•乔布斯(Steve Jobs)在公司网站上刊登的一封公开信中宣布了此决定,旨在缓和iPhone手机早期买家的不满情绪.该公司周三宣布将原价599美元的iPhone手机降价200美元,一时间该产品的早期买家怨声载道,并于周三晚间和周四在网上论坛宣泄他们对降价的不满.
The move, announced by Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs in a letter posted on Apple's Web site, was meant to assuage the bitterness early iPhone users began to express following Apple's announcement Wednesday that it was cutting by $200 the price of Apple's $599 iPhone. Early iPhone users vented their frustration about the price cut on in online discussion forums throughout yesterday evening and today.
乔布斯在致所有iPhone用户的公开信中称,他个人收到数百封因“发售仅两个月降价多达200美元而感到沮丧”的iPhone用户的电子邮件.
In the letter address to all iPhone customers, Jobs said he personally received hundreds of emails from iPhone customers who 'are upset about Apple dropping the price of iPhone by $200 two months after it went on sale.'
乔布斯对于让用户感到失望表示道歉,并宣布所有在苹果专卖店和美国电话电报公司(AT&T Inc.)商店购买iphone的消费者(这些消费者没有享受任何折扣)将获得一张存有100美元的苹果专卖店消费卡.他表示,详细情况本周将在苹果公司的网站上公布.
He apologized for disappointing iPhone customers and said that anyone who bought the Apple cellphone in an Apple or AT&T Inc. (T) store, who isn't eligible for a rebate, can receive a $100 Apple store credit. Jobs said further details will be posted on Apple's Web site this week.
乔布斯在信中称,在他30余年的职业生涯中,技术前进之路总是崎岖不平的,总会有人因为在特定降价日之前购买了某款产品而与新操作系统或其他新东西所带来的新价格失之交臂.
Jobs said, in his over 30-year career, the 'technology road is bumpy,' and there is 'always someone who bought a product before a particular cutoff dates and misses the new price of the new operating system or the new whatever.'
他表示,这是在技术进步之路上总要遇到的问题.如果总想等下次降价或新型号推出时再买,那就永远享受不到任何新科技,因为在我们的视野中,总是会有更好和更便宜的产品出现.
'This is life in the technology lane,' he wrote. 'If you always wait for the next price cut or to buy the new improved model, you'll never buy any technology product because there is always something better and less expensive on the horizon.'
