The end of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 三星停售智能手機 Galaxy Note 7
The zoo where chimps ‘learn to be chimps’ 讓黑猩猩學習野外生活習性的動物園
文字稿
Samsung broke new ground with the Note, proving there was an appetite for much bigger phones and it hoped this latest version would be the best selling yet. Now though, it’s clear that the Note 7 isn’t coming back and the company must concentrate on limiting the damage to its whole brand. We want more and more from our phones but as Samsung has found to its cost, the one thing we demand above all others is that they are safe.
三星的 Note 智能手機系列曾在許多方面有著創新的突破，並證明瞭市場對大屏幕手機是有需求的。三星公司本來也期望最新推出的這款手機能夠成為最暢銷的機型。但現在事實擺在眼前，Note 7 全面停產，不會重返市場，而三星必須集中力量控制此事對其整個品牌的損害。消費者對手機功能的期望越來越高，但是從三星這次所付出的代價不難得出，人們對產品最重要的要求是其安全性能。
The chimps at Twycross Zoo are a huge favourite with visitors but the zoo itself is doing a massive amount of work to make life here for the chimps as happy and as natural as possible. Researchers from the University of Birmingham have created a computer programme that compares the movement of these chimps to those in the wild and then suggests changes to the chimp enclosure that will nudge these chimps into a more natural form of behaviour.
特懷克羅斯（Twycross）動物園的黑猩猩是最受遊客們喜歡的明星。為瞭讓黑猩猩在動物園的生活更加有樂趣，盡可能地還原其生存的自然生態環境，動物園做出瞭巨大的努力。來自伯明翰大學的研究人員創建瞭一個計算機程序，用於比較在動物園生活的黑猩猩與野生黑猩猩舉動上的不同之處，並就此提出如何改造黑猩猩展館的建議，幫助在動物園生活的黑猩猩學習更自然的行為方式。
