希尼爾翻譯公司（www.marshallsfreshproduce.com）2016年2月25日了解到：Huawei has announced its first Windows 10 tablet, a day before Mobile World Congress in Barcelona begins.
　　巴塞羅那世界移動大會（MWC2016）開幕前一天，華為正式發(fā)布了傳聞已久的首款MateBook筆記本電腦。
　　The MateBook is designed to be an alternative to laptops and is thinner than Microsoft’s rival Surface Pro 4 thanks to its use of a USB-C port.
　　由于MateBook 使用USB-C接口，相比競爭對手微軟的Surface Pro 4更薄一些，可以代替手提電腦使用。
　　The Chinese firm is already the world’s third-bestselling mobile phone-maker, but until now had only made tablets powered by Android.
　　這家國產(chǎn)公司已經(jīng)是世界上第三個最暢銷的手機制造商，但直到現(xiàn)在才生產(chǎn)出安卓系統(tǒng)下的平板電腦。
　　Experts said it made good business sense to expand into the new category.
　　專家稱這為手機制造企業(yè)拓展了新的商機。
　　However, there was no mention of the much-rumoured P9 smartphone at Huawei’s event. When questioned about the no-show, the firm told the BBC it did not discuss future products.
　　然而，謠傳已久的華為P9并沒有提及。被問及華為P9的缺席時，華為公司告訴BBC他們暫時不想討論未來產(chǎn)品。
　　Thinner, lighter
　　更薄，更輕
　　The MateBook features a 12in (30.5cm) display and can be clipped into an add-on keyboard and used with a stylus.
　　MateBook 配備12寸觸屏，可加入鍵盤或者使用寫字筆。
　　Its advantages over Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 are that it is:
　　優(yōu)越于微軟Pro 4 的特點：
　　nearly 20% thinner, measuring 6.9mm (0.3in) deep
　　比Pro 4輕薄20%，厚度為6.9毫米
　　has a fingerprint sensor built into its side, unlike the Surface Pro which requires its cover to be attached to use the feature
　　內(nèi)置指紋傳感器，不像Surface Pro需要觸碰鍵盤蓋來使用這項功能。
　　However, the disadvantages are that Huawei’s machine is only offered with a sixth generation Core M processor, and not Intel’s more powerful Core i5 or i7 chips.
　　然而，不利的是，華為的機器只提供第六代酷睿M處理器，而不是英特爾的更強大的酷睿i5或i7芯片。
　　In addition, the decision to rely on a USB-C port means that older peripherals cannot be attached directly to the machine and it lacks a built-in display port.
　　此外，依靠usb-c端口意味著舊的設(shè)備不能直接連接到這臺機器，它缺乏一個內(nèi)置的顯示端口。
　　In order to gain USB 2 and external display connections, users will need to carry an adapter, which also includes an ethernet port. The tablet does, however, have a built-in SD memory card slot.
　　為了獲得USB 2和外部顯示器連接，用戶將需要安置一個適配器，其中還包括一個以太網(wǎng)端口。然而，平板電腦有一個內(nèi)置的SD卡插槽。
　　One other unusual feature about the machine is that its stylus includes a laser pointer at the opposite end to its nib.
　　機器的另一個特點是在手寫筆筆尖的另一端有一個激光指針。
　　Marketing costs
　　市場成本
　　One company watcher said he was "totally underwhelmed" by the product, but said he could understand why it had been developed.
　　一個公司觀察員表示對此產(chǎn)品“毫不驚奇”，但是他說可以理解為什么研發(fā)這款產(chǎn)品。
　　"I expect that Huawei will receive contributions to its marketing costs from Intel and Microsoft," said Ben Wood from the CCS Insight consultancy.
　　“我期望華為可以從因特爾和微軟的營銷成本中獲利，” CCS Insight公司顧問Ben Wood 說道。
　　"I should add that it has also been beautifully engineered. But even so, this is a segment of the market that is getting very crowded very quickly with Lenovo and Samsung also having recently announced similar products."
　　“我需要說明的是，華為這款產(chǎn)品開發(fā)得很精美。即便如此，隨著聯(lián)想和三星近期也在發(fā)布類似的產(chǎn)品，所以市場競爭還是很激烈?！?span id="y4mwsemgwi0" class="style52">
　　Apple also put its iPad Pro on sale in November, which likewise has a stylus and clip-on keyboard but still uses the firm’s mobile iOS operating system.
　　蘋果iPad Pro也將于十一月發(fā)售，這同樣也有手寫筆和夾式鍵盤，但仍使用該公司的移動iOS操作系統(tǒng)。
　　Detachable tablets
　　可分離的平板
　　PC shipments are forecast to fall further this year - research firm Gartner has predicted they will decrease by about 1% - and tablet shipments as a whole are expected to see an even steeper drop.
　　PC出貨量的預(yù)測，今年進一步下降，市場研究公司Gartner預(yù)測他們將減少約1%，總的來說，平板電腦的出貨量可能會出現(xiàn)顯著下降。
　　But the so-called "detachable tablet" category, which includes the MateBook, is growing.
　　但是包括MateBook所謂的“可分離平板”銷售量正在上漲。

　　Sales were up 75% in 2015 and are forecast to double again this year, according to market intelligence firm IDC.
　　根據(jù)市場情報公司IDC介紹，華為平板在2015年銷量上漲了75%，預(yù)計今年會翻倍。
　　"It’s a product category that we are going to see more people get involved in as it’s a good way for the mobile players to attack the PC market," commented Tim Coulling, an analyst at the tech consultancy Canalys.
　　“這預(yù)計是更多人將要投入的產(chǎn)品類別，也是促使很多手機用戶進入電腦市場的好方法。”科技咨詢機構(gòu)Canalys 的咨詢師Tim Coulling 說道。
　　"But the thing is, Microsoft Surface Pro benefits from the company’s brand name and also makes use of the firm’s business-to-business sales channels."
　　“但是問題是，微軟獲益于公司的品牌名字，并充分利用了公司B-2-B銷售渠道。”
　　These are things where Huawei’s MateBook could be at a disadvantage, he added.
　　華為MateBook在一些方面處于不利條件。
　　The entry-level MateBook will cost $699 when it goes on sale later this year, making it $100 cheaper than the basic Surface Pro 4.
　　當MateBook今年晚些時候開始銷售時，其初級的售價為699美元，比Surface Pro 4售價便宜100美元
　　To purchase its keyboard, MatePen and MateDock will cost an additional $277.
　　購買它的附屬品如鍵盤、寫字筆和MateDock 將會額外花費277美元。
