Earlier this week China Real Time asked whether Apple Inc. could launch a new product without incident. The answer Friday morning was a quiet "yes." 本周早些时候，"中国实时报"栏目曾提出这样的问题，苹果(Apple Inc.)能否在发售新产品时不出现任何闪失？周五早上，我们得到了一个肯定的答案。 Apple's latest iPad model went on sale quietly on Friday at a retail location in Beijing where unruly buyers and sullen crowds had marred past releases. Roughly 40 customers quietly lined up Friday morning outside the Apple Store in Beijing's high-end Sanlitun shopping and restaurant district. They waited within a cordon surrounded security personnel and reporters. Store doors opened at 8 a.m. without disturbances. 周五，北京的一家苹果零售店在安静的气氛中开始发售最新款iPad。这家店过去每次开始发售新产品时，都会被不守规则的购买者和愤怒的人群搞得一团糟。周五上午，大约40名顾客在位于北京三里屯高端购物和餐饮区的苹果店外安静地排队。他们站在警戒线之内，警戒线之外是安保人员和记者。苹果店8点准时开门，没有出现任何混乱场面。 The first customer, 34-year old Ye Huafei, said that he had come to get the new iPad because his mother had appropriated his to watch television shows. He said he was busy over the weekend, so he decided to get it on the first day of release. |
