Who says Santa Claus has to be white? Until now, your iPhone's emoji keyboard did. 谁说圣诞老人一定要是白脸的？现在，你的苹果表情键盘可以实现这一转变。 A new beta release of iOS 8.3, currently available only to software developers, fixes that. It includes the option to change an emoji's skin color, meaning you can finally choose something beyond the pale pink hands and white boys and girls currently available. The human-looking emoji -- including the one for Kris Kringle -- will now have six different skin tones to pick from. 即将发布的iOS8.3测试版在做一些改善，它目前只能被一些软件开发者使用。它即将要改变表情的肤色，这意味着你可以在现有的浅红色的手掌、白肌肤的男孩女孩上作出一些其他颜色的尝试。包括圣诞老人的人物表情，将会有六种不同的肤色供你选择。 What’s more, same-sex families will soon have a place on the emoji keyboard. 更逗的是，同性家庭系列也即将出现在表情键盘中。 Some have lauded the move for pushing emoji beyond certain stereotypes, like the default image of a brown man in a turban. 一部分人赞许了这一举动，因为这样一来原始表情就不再那么一尘不变了，就算是一个来自图尔班的棕色人种也有属于自己的肤色表情了。 The new beta version of iOS 8.3 includes an array of diverse emojis, not only characters with different skin colors, but also different family makeups. Same-sex parents are included in the publicly unreleased version. There are families with two moms and families with two dads. |
