More and more people are using their big, flat-panel TVs to watch Internet video, view photos, play music and casual games, and access apps, social media and websites. The trouble is, this is primarily being done via plugged-in PCs, or add-on boxes like Apple TV, Microsoft's Xbox, and Roku players. They use separate remotes and are accessed via separate inputs on the TV. 越来越多的人都在用大尺寸平板电视机来观看网络视频、浏览照片、播放音乐、玩休闲游戏并运用应用程序、登陆社交媒体和网站。问题在于这主要是通过连接PC电脑，或苹果电视（Apple TV）、微软(Microsoft)Xbox和Roku播放器等外接盒子来实现的。它们各用各的遥控器，并且通过不同的接口接入电视机。 Lots of people have been counting on Apple to unify standard TV with these apps and Internet content in a simple, elegant device. The company is working on it, but the major TV makers aren't waiting. They are offering Internet-connected 'smart TVs.' Their pitch is that you can switch between, or even combine on one screen, regular TV and Internet content, without adding extra devices and remotes, or switching inputs. 很多人都在指望苹果公司能把普通电视机和这些应用程序、互联网内容统一到一部简单易用的设备当中。苹果正在努力，但几家主要的电视机生产商也没有按兵不动。它们推出了连接互联网的“智能电视”，其卖点在于，不需要配置多余的设备和遥控器，也不需要切换接口，你就可以在普通电视节目和互联网内容之间转换，甚至把这些内容放在同一个屏幕上。 |
