10 things we know about the Apple Watch - Fast Facts 關於Apple Watch我們所知道的10件事-實事快報

There's a tremendous amount of anticipation surrounding the Apple Watch. Sure, it tells time and acts as a second screen and remote control for other Apple products. But the watch's design is what has most Apple fans buzzing.
外界對於Apple Watch抱有很大的期待，當然，它可以告訴你時間並能夠當作第二螢幕和其他Apple產品的遙控器，但手錶的設計才是果粉熱烈討論的。

Here's what we know about Apple's first wearable device so far:
以下是目前我們對於Appe第一個穿戴式裝置所知道的部分：

1. The Apple Watch will be available in three models -- The Apple Watch, The Apple Watch Sport, and the Apple Watch Edition.
1.Apple Watch將會有三種版本--Apple Watch、Apple Watch運動版和Apple Watch典藏版。
2. The watches are made from stainless steel (Apple Watch), anodized aluminum (Apple Watch Sport), and 18-karat gold (Apple Watch Edition). The Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition screens will be crafted from Sapphire Crystal, the same material used in luxury watches. The Apple Watch Sport will feature an Ion-X glass display.
2.手錶(分別)是由不鏽鋼(Apple Watch)、陽極氧化鋁(Apple Watch運動版)和18K金(Apple Watch典藏版)製成，Apple Watch和Apple Watch典藏版的螢幕將會由藍寶石水晶玻璃精製，和一般奢華的錶使用的是相同的材質，而Apple Watch運動版的特點會是配有因離子玻璃顯示器。


 3. There are only two buttons on the watch.
3.手錶上只有兩個按鈕。

4. Each model will come in two sizes: a 38mm or 1.5 inch, and 42 mm or 1.7 inch (height).
4.每個版本將會出兩個尺寸：38毫米（＝15英寸），和42毫米（1.7英寸）（高）

5. The Apple Watch needs an iPhone to connect to the Internet. And not just any iPhone -- the oldest iPhone it will connect to is the iPhone 5, and it has to be running the latest iOS 8 software. It connects to the iPhone via Bluetooth.
5. Apple Watch需要有iPhone來連接網路，而不能只是隨便一隻iPhone--其能連接的最舊款iPhone是iPhone5，而且那隻iPhone5的作業系統一定要是最新的iOS8版本。

6. It will cost at least $349. That's most likely for the smaller sports model watch but specific price tags are still unknown. Some critics think it's too expensive.
6.至少要價349塊美金，而這最有可能是較小尺寸運動版的價格但明確的價格還不知道，有些評論者認為價格太高了。

7. Each Apple Watch model will be available in two colors: stainless steel and black stainless steel for the Apple Watch; silver aluminum and gray aluminum for the Apple Watch Sport; and 18-karat yellow gold and 18-karat rose gold for the Apple Watch Edition.
7.每個版本的Apple Watch將會有兩種顏色：Apple Watch有不鏽鋼和黑色不鏽鋼；Apple Watch有銀鋁和灰鋁；Apple Watch典藏版則有18K金黃金和18K金玫瑰金。
8. There are six types of wristbands -- 1) a metal band with a traditional clasp, 2) a rubber sport band, 3) a magnetic leather band, 4) a leather band with a classic buckle, 5) a leather band with a modern buckle, and 6) a flexible metal magnetic band.
8.有6種類型的錶帶--1)金屬錶帶配傳統的錶扣2)橡膠運動錶帶3)磁性皮錶帶4)皮錶帶配經典表扣5)皮錶帶配現代感錶扣6)柔性金屬磁性錶帶

9. You can use it to work out. The Apple Watch will have a heart rate sensor and an accelerometer to measure body movements, including step count. The watch does not have GPS, which comes as a major disappointment to fitness enthusiasts.
9.你可用它來幫助你健身，Apple Watch將會配有心跳感測器和加速度感測器用來測量身體動作，包括步數計算，手錶沒有全球定位系統(GPS)，這會是讓健康狂熱者最為感到失望的地方。

10. It will "tap" you when you have notifications. You can also tap the watch back, sending other Watch owners taps that can emulate a sender's heartbeat.
10.當你有通知的時候它會「輕敲(tap)」你，你也可以輕敲回去，把你仿真心跳的輕敲傳給其他有iWatch的人。




What we still don't know
我們還不知道的事
1. The exact date the Apple Watch will go on sale. It's expected to be sometime in April.
1. Apple Watch上市的確切日期，預計是在四月。

2. If Apple plans to sell the Apple Watch outside the United States on launch day. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently visited Apple's flagship retail store in Germany and told employees the Apple Watch will be available in that country in April.
2. Apple是否有計劃讓海外市場也在首發日開賣，Apple執行長提姆·庫克造訪德國的Apple旗艦零售店並告訴員工們Apple Watch四月將會在該國開始販售。

3. How long the battery lasts. Given it requires continuous connectivity to an iPhone, the Apple Watch's battery life is a major concern.
3.電池能夠持續多久，要能夠和iPhone持續連線，Apple Watch電池的續航力會是最令人關注的問題。

4. How much each model will cost. The starting price is $349, but it will be interesting to see what the range of prices will be — specifically, the ceiling price for the Apple Watch Edition, which features an 18-karat gold case.
4.每個版本將會賣多少錢，起價是349美元，起價是349美元，但關注價格的範圍，這會很有意思 — 特別是，最貴的 Apple Watch典藏版的價格，其主打18K金外殼。

5. It's unclear if Apple will allow people to buy bands separately to create their own customized watches.
5.還不確定Apple是否會讓人們錶帶分開買來創造他們自己的客製化手錶。
