"Furious 7" had the biggest opening weekend at the box office so far this year. 玩命 7 達成今年目前為止週末首日最高票房紀錄。 Universal's "Furious 7" crossed the finish line this weekend with a record $143   million opening at the domestic box office. 環球發行的「玩命 7 」以一億四千三百萬美元的國內票房紀錄，通過了終點線。 Not only is a $143 million opening completely unheard of for April (easily zooming by last April's record $95 million by "Captain America: The Winter Soldier"), but it's the biggest opening weekend so far this year. 不只是在四月前所未有的一億四千三百萬首日票房紀錄（容易的迅速接近去年四月美國隊長 2 的九千五百萬美元），而且還是今年目前為止最高的週末首日票房紀錄。 The $85 million opening of 2015's prior record holder "Fifty Shades of Grey" -- a film also released by Universal, a division of NBCUniversal -- seems miniscule in comparison. 2015 年的前一個首日票房紀錄保持者是《格雷的五十道陰影》的八千五百萬美元，一部也是由 NBC 環球公司旗下的環球影業發行的電影，相比之下，格雷的票房顯得微小。 "Furious 7" also becomes the top opening in "Fast" series history, sur...

During its month-long crowdfunding campaign, which ended 10 p.m. ET Friday, Pebble Time shattered two Kickstarter records. It broke its first record on its first day, when it became the fastest project to raise $1 million -- in 49 minutes. A week later, it became the most-funded campaign in Kickstarter's history after receiving more than $13.3 million in pledges, besting Coolest Cooler, the previous record holder. 在其長達一個月的群眾募款活動，該活動於東岸時間星期五 Pepple Time ( 註一 ) 下午十點結束，打破了兩項 Kickstarter ( 註二 ) 的紀錄，當它成為最快募集到一百萬美金的計劃 -- 在 49 分鐘內，它就活動的第一天打破了它的第一個紀錄；一周後，在收到一千三百三十萬美元的資金後，它成為 Kickstarter 史上募到最多資金的活動，打敗了前一個紀錄保持者 Coolest Cooler ( 註三 ) 。 Now, in total, Pebble has raised $20,336,930 from 78,463 people. Pebble's initial goal -- to raise $500,000 -- was too easy of a hurdle. Each watch was sold for $159 to early backers, and $179 for just about everyone else. Once retailers start selling the watch, the price will go up to $199. 現在， Pebble 總計已經從 78,463 人募集到 20,336,930 美元， Pebble 最...

Today's tablets are great for portability, reading and watching video, but they're not ideal for doing work.  Surface 介於筆電和平板電腦之間，現今的平板電腦攜帶便利性高，可以閱讀、看影片，但是用來工作並不理想。 Laptops are designed for getting stuff done, but you wouldn't want to read a book on them. The Surface is a laptop that looks and acts like a tablet. 而筆電是為了讓事情做完而設計的，但是你並不會想在筆電上讀一本書，而 Surface 就是一台看起來、操作起來都像平板的筆電。 But the Surface Pro 3 costs $799, and that's without a keyboard. Throw in a keyboard and Bluetooth pen, and you're looking at a machine that costs close to $1,000. 但是 Surface Pro 3 要 799 美元，而且沒有鍵盤，要增添一個鍵盤和一支藍牙筆，而你想要找的機器就會是將近 1000 元美元。 With the Surface 3,   Microsoft   ( MSFT ,   Tech30 )   set out to make a similar ...

(CNN) You might have seen the photos. Even read about it. You might have visited other great waterfalls before.

(CNN) 你可能曾經看過這些照片，甚至讀過關於它的資訊，你之前可能曾經去過其他壯觀的瀑布，但你可能仍然不知道當你親眼看到位於阿根廷的米西奧內斯省和巴西巴拉那州兩地交界的邊境、超級壯觀的伊瓜蘇瀑布時，應該期待什麼。 Unlike over-hyped destinations that can leave you feeling disappointed, Iguazu Falls instantly turns even jaded travelers into a raving fan. 不同於其他過度宣傳的景點，可能會讓你覺得失望，伊瓜蘇瀑布會立即讓不再對瀑布感興趣的旅人再次變成瘋狂的粉絲。 Judging by the sheer number of visitors -- more than one million a year -- its pulling power is showing no sign of weakening. 根據訪客總數判斷 — 一年超過一百萬人次 — 它的吸引力完全沒有減弱的趨勢。 "Unlike any other waterfall on earth" 「不像任何其他地球上的瀑布」 Spanning 2.7 kilometers, Iguazu Falls is made of 275 waterfalls or cataracts 橫跨了 2.7 公里， . 伊瓜蘇瀑布是由 275 個瀑布或大瀑布組成的。 To describe t...
