The numbers are in for the opening weekend of Apple’s new iPhones: 10 million sold in just three days. That’s a lot of new iPhones, and a large number of them are going to people upgrading from older cellphones. 苹果(Apple)新款iPhone开售首个周末的销售数量已被统计出来：仅在三天内就售出1000万部。这可真是很多的新iPhone，其中有很多是由准备更换旧手机的顾客购买的。 So where do those millions of used gadgets wind up? 那数百万部旧手机去哪了呢？ A sampling of data from GameStop, EcoATM and Gazelle, companies that resell used electronics, shows that around the time a new iPhone makes its debut, plenty of people sell their old devices or trade them in to save money on their new iPhone. 转售二手电子产品的游戏驿站(GameStop)、EcoATM和Gazelle的数据样本显示，苹果推出新版iPhone时，很多人会将旧设备卖掉，或以旧换新。 Those phones that are not sold often end up being stashed in sock drawers or given as gifts to friends or family members, some research suggests.
GameStop, a video game retailer that buys and sells used electronics and games, said it held a trade-in event last weekend. In three days, it accepted more than 15,000 devices. The items that were traded in the most included the more recent iPhones, like the 5, 5S and 5C, the company said. 一些研究显示，那些没有出售的旧手机通常会被塞到抽屉里，或被当做礼物送给朋友和家人。买卖二手电子商品及游戏用品的电子游戏零售商游戏驿站表示，该公司在上周末举行了回购活动。他们在三天内收到了逾15000个电子设备。该公司表示，他们收到的最多的是不久前推出的iPhone，比如iPhone5、5S和5C。 |
