蘋果發佈iOS8 全面升級短信功能

Apple introduced its latest update to the iPhone operating system, iOS 8, at its annual World Wide Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday. If you're a big texter, some of the changes should make your life a lot easier. iOS 8 will be available for the iPhone 4S and above this fall.

週一，蘋果公司在舊金山舉行的全球開發者大會上，發佈了iPhone的最新系統iOS 8開發者版。如果你很喜歡發短信，那麼這次新系統的一些變化會讓你感覺生活更容易了。今年秋天，蘋果公司將發佈正式版iOS 8系統，屆時iOS 8將只能與iPhone 4S及以上版本手機兼容。

If you're still recovering from Apple's last OS update don't worry: These changes are nowhere near as huge as last year's move to iOS 7 -- a radical redesign of the iPhone interface and one of the biggest moves Apple made post-Steve Jobs. Some iPhone people appreciated the modern design. Others complained of the new look, and some even reported that the design gave them motion sickness.

如果你還沒適應上次蘋果的操作系統更新，不用擔心：iOS 8的變化並不像上次iOS 7那麼巨大——iOS 7徹底改變了iPhone的手機界面，是蘋果公司在後喬布斯時代做出的最大改變。有些果粉很欣賞iOS 7的現代化設計，而其他人卻對這一新界面吐槽不斷，甚至有人還說操作新界面感到很噁心。

This year's changes won't make you ill. And, some of them are pretty much irrelevant. Here are the ones that you must know about:

然而今年的一些變化不會讓你受不了，並且其中的一些變化無妨大礙。下面是一些你必須知道的有關iOS 8科普：

Smarter Notifications

更智能的通知欄

Now when you get a notification for a text message or a Facebook comment, you can respond from whatever app you're in. So if you're looking at Twitter and you get an iMessage from your mom, you can quickly respond without leaving Twitter.

在iOS 8界面下，無論你在什麼應用界面，只要通知欄彈出短消息或Facebook評論、你都可以不用退出界面就直接回復。所以，如果你正在看推特的時候收到了你媽媽發來的短信，不需要離開推特界面就可以直接回復媽媽的短信。

If a notification appears -- on the lock-screen or wherever -- and you don't want to deal with it immediately, you can flick it up and off the screen.

通知欄有消息顯示，不管手機當時是鎖屏界面還是別的什麼，如果你不想馬上處理，那麼完全可以把它彈出屏幕。

Easier Email

更便捷的郵件處理

There are significant changes to Apple's Mail app. You can mark emails as unread or delete them with a single gesture, and you can swipe down a message you're composing in order to see the rest of your inbox.

蘋果郵件app應用中產生了巨大的變化。只需一個簡單的手勢，你就可以把郵件標註爲未讀或者刪除郵件，同時你還可以向下滑動正在編輯的郵件、以查看收件箱的其他郵件。

'Damn You Autocorrect' ?

“該死的自動更正” 功能即將結束？

Texting is what most people do on their iPhones - iMessage is the device's most popular app by far, Tim Cook said on Monday. He introduced QuickType for iMessage, a new feature that could potentially eliminate embarrassing auto-correct errors. As you type, you'll get suggestions for what to type next. QuickType learns from you, based on what you type and to whom.

庫克在週一說，發短信是果粉們最常做的事情，所以iMessage 是截至目前iPhone手機中最受歡迎的應用。他爲iMessage 引入了QuickType應用，這可以極大降低潛在的自動更正操作。在你打字的時候，會有下一個詞的提示出現。QuickType根據你的個人情況、你的打字內容以及短信發送對象來確定打字推薦。

No More Annoying Group Texts

不再有討厭的羣發短信

Group messaging is also going to be vastly improved. With iOS 8 you can name your group texting threads and add or remove people from group texts. You can also leave a group messaging thread or push "do not disturb" to mute a specific thread. No more annoying group texts!

羣發短信功能也將大加改善。在iOS 8中，你可以把羣發分組進行命名、同時還可以在羣中增添或移出聯繫人。你還可以進行羣聊設置並把某一羣聊標註爲“請勿打擾”。這樣再也不會有討厭的羣發短信了。

If you want to find your friends, you can share your location through messages and show your friends where you are. If you're less into texting, you can send audio, video or photo messages right from iMessage.

如果你想找到你的朋友，可以通過信息分享你的地址告訴朋友你現在在哪。如果你沒那麼喜歡發短信，可以在iMessage上發送音頻、視頻或圖片消息。
