ship 预装
Microsoft Corp. and Xiaomi Inc. have expanded their global partnership to provide innovative user experiences on mobile devices. As part of the agreement, Xiaomi will ship Microsoft Office and Skype on Xiaomi Android smartphones and tablets. 微软与小米拓展其全球伙伴关系,在移动设备上提供创新用户体验。作为协议的一部分,小米将在安卓智能手机和平板电脑上预装微软Office和Skype。 一般情况下,电子设备“预装”软件会用pre-install来表示。 这里的“预装”用了ship这个词,原意是“船只”或者“把(物品)装上船”,用在电子设备领域就指“安装(软件)”,比如:Microsoft's next version of Windows will ship with tons of security features.(微软的下一版Windows将安装多个安全功能软件。) 另外,英文报道中讲到某个品牌产品的“出货量”时多用shipment来表示,比如:Huawei regained its leading position, with shipments of 16.5 million units to China in the latest quarter. (本季度,华为重返领先位置,在中国的产品出货量达到1650万件。) |
