「It just works.」怎样翻译表达出同样微妙的意思？

难题补充

乔布斯在 WWDC 主题演讲中说的那句「It just works.」怎样翻译成中文能表达出同样微妙的意思？

回答

這類關於翻譯的問題，大家的熱情可以理解，但很多時候這都不是翻譯的工作，更不要扯什麼信達雅啊，「表達出同樣微妙的意思」的，總幻想着出個「神翻譯」，大家拍桌子讚歎。在知乎上老看這種問題，身爲幹翻譯這一行的，看着真是無奈。

大家想過沒有，「It Just Works」是整場發佈會/演出的一部分，爲了讓這句話 work，前面鋪墊了那麼多，這不是靠「神翻譯」可以解決的，這是一個整體中的一部分。大家看到大屏幕上打出這一行字，聽到喬布斯嘴裡吐出這三個詞，覺得好微妙，好有力，醍醐灌頂，那是那個整體把你擊倒了。把這句話獨立出來，真的一點都神奇不起來啊，「就是好用」「就這麼簡單」「就這樣」……以及許許多多其他選項，都差不多啊！

和原作一樣，翻譯也是要從上下文借力的。

大家對翻譯那麼感興趣，多去 Apple 中國官網看一下，那上面有衆多觸目驚心的爛翻譯（更準確說，是爛中文），大家都積極去投訴或者拿到知乎上來一起吐槽啊！

“就这么简单”

好使!

“就这么容易”，一句很口语，却要自己体会的话，中文比较难翻译。“一切浑然天成太书面了”。“It just works”感觉上很像iPad第一则宣传片中苹果首席设计师Jony Ive说的那句 “You don’t even to think about this, you just do!”

就是好用

“就是管用！”
