爲了弘揚中國民樂 蘋果更新GarageBand

Apple Inc announced an update to its music-making app GarageBand.

蘋果公司近日宣佈更新其音樂製作應用GarageBand。

Users of the GarageBand can now create their own customized sounds on newly-added Chinese instruments, including pipa, erhu and Chinese percussions.

GarageBand的用戶現在可以使用新增的中式樂器來創作自己的個性化音樂，如琵琶、二胡和中式打擊樂器等。

The update has also added more than 300 Apple-created music loops built with a variety of Chinese instruments, such as guzheng, yangqin and flute, to the library of Chinese music content in the app.

此次更新還在中式音樂資源庫中增加了由蘋果公司用古箏、揚琴和笛子等各種中式樂器製作的300多個音樂循環樂段。

Besides, users also get two new Chinese templates for Live Loops, as well as new sharing options to popular Chinese social networking platforms.

除此之外，用戶還可獲得兩個全新的中式實時循環樂段的模板和新添的共享選項，可分享至中國熱門社交網絡平臺。

Apple CEO, Tim Cook, posted a video on his Twitter account showing him playing the updated GarageBand with Singaporean singer JJ Lin in Beijing.

蘋果公司CEO蒂姆·庫克在他的推特賬戶上上傳了一段視頻，該視頻顯示的是他在北京和新加披歌手林俊杰一起使用更新的GarageBand。

"Here's the incredibly talented @JJ_Lin on the erhu as we jam with the new GarageBand, out today," he twitted.

他在推文中寫道：“GarageBand加入全新元素，來看看才華橫溢的林俊杰如何用二胡即興演繹吧。”

The update is seen as the latest move by the California-based tech giant to woo users in China, where the company has seen a sales decline of 26 percent over the latest quarter.

此次更新被視爲這家位於加利福尼亞的科技巨頭吸引中國用戶的最新舉措。在中國市場，該公司在最近一個季度的銷售額下降了26%。

The company has also recently invested 1 billion U.S. dollars in Didi Chuxing, a Chinese taxi-hailing and ride-sharing company.

此外，蘋果公司最近還向中國打車、拼車公司滴滴出行投資了10億美元。
