苹果中国官网惊现雷人翻译

正如艺术，IT也已经跨越国界、种族，但显然，语言仍是一个难以跨越的鸿沟。近年来，不少英文产品在本土化时都遇到了翻译的问题，有些甚至还闹出了笑话。
今天，苹果发布了iPhone 5s和iPhone 5c。经历了一番铺天盖地的关于价格和创意的批判后，苹果又被细心的网友揪住了一个小辫子。那就是官网上的一个翻译问题。
苹果在线商店的“选购iPhone”页面，一行大字让人乍一看以为自己眼花了，“全新iPhone现已问世。全新iPhone也已问世。”虽然我们都知道，这里所指的分别是iPhone 5s和iPhone 5c，但是这句话仍然给人一种如鲠在喉的感觉，让人不禁想问，你语文是数学老师教的吧？

根据以往惯例，苹果中国官网的内容都是照着英文官网翻译过来的，于是笔者找到了英文页面，原来是“Introducing the new iPhone. And the new iPhone.”

看到这里想必你也明白了，这问题出在了翻译上。苹果英文官网的表述符合老外的用语习惯，没有丝毫语法上的错误，读起来也没有任何不妥。还有一点文艺的感觉，就像鲁迅在《秋夜》中写的，“墙外有两株树，一株是枣树，还有一株也是枣树。”
再看苹果中国官网，“全新iPhone现已问世。全新iPhone也已问世。”这样雷人的翻译，要么是不负责任地机器翻译，要么是东施效颦没能效仿出风采来。
微博上已经有大量网友在吐槽了，笔者原本也想嘲讽几句，但细想一下，如果真要严格按照“Introducing the new iPhone. And the new iPhone.”来翻译，还要翻出花儿来，确实不是一件易事。亲爱的读者，你们一向才思敏捷，这次有什么好的建议给苹果中国吗？
