Apple Inc. said on Monday it sold 4 million iPhone 4S models in the three days since it went on sale Oct. 14. 苹果公司在周一宣布，自10月14日iPhone 4S上市发售以来，三天内销售量已达到400万台。 Sales in stores began on Friday in Japan, Australia, France, the U.K., Germany, Canada and the United States. iPhone 4S于上周五开始在日本、澳大利亚、法国、英国、德国、加拿大和美国的苹果专卖店内销售。 The company took more than 1 million online orders in the first 24 hours after the release of the iPhone 4S, exceeding the 600,000 for the iPhone 4, though it was sold in fewer countries. 虽然iPhone 4S比iPhone 4的销售国家少，但在其发布后的24小时内，苹果公司收到了100多万个网上订单，超过iPhone 4当时的60万订单数。 Unveiled just a day before Apple Chairman Steve Jobs died, it was initially dubbed a disappointment, partly because it looked identical to its predecessor. But anticipation of its “Siri” voice software helped it set an online record in orders on Oct. 7. iPhone 4S是在苹果董事会主席史蒂芬·乔布斯逝世前一天揭开神秘面纱的。起初iPhone 4S被业界认为是失望之作，部分是因为它与之前的苹果iPhone系列看起来外型一样。不过人们对iPhone 4S的 “Siri” 语音软件还是满怀期待之情，这也帮助iPhone 4S在10月7日创下了网络订单记录。 |
