苹果公司在去年开放了新园区:一片全部由玻璃板围建起来、望之令人眩晕的空间,寓意鼓励协调和合作。
Apple opened its new campus last year -- a stunning, glass wall-filled space meant to encourage collaboration and cooperation.
但是《彭博》报道称,这一设计成就似乎牺牲了某些功能(苹果产品也越来越贴合这个主题),因为显而易见,员工们不停地撞到玻璃。
But Bloomberg reports that this achievement in design appears to have sacrificed some functionality -- a growing theme in Apple products -- because, apparently, Apple employees keep walking into the glass.
消息源告诉《彭博》,有人在玻璃门和玻璃墙体上留下便利贴,这样可以让它们会更为醒目,但是苹果公司最终还是揭下了这些便利贴,因为这会分散人们对于空间设计的注意力。
Sources told Bloomberg that some individuals started sticking Post-It notes to the glass doors and walls in order to make them more noticeable, but they were ultimately taken down because they distracted from the space's design.
苹果的设计选择近年来饱受诟病。MacBook缺少端口,许多用户直言不讳地表达了自己的失望之情;而iPhone X的槽口则设计得有些可笑。
Apple's design choices have come under fire quite a few times in recent years. Plenty of people were vocally disappointed in the MacBook's lack of ports while the iPhone X's notch has attracted a bit of ridicule.
究竟有多少苹果员工撞到过玻璃板目前还不清楚。
As for how many Apple employees have run into the building's glass panels, that's not really clear.
但是抛开这一点,我们希望向苹果公司指出,食品药品监督管理局批准了一项血液测试,可以检测头部眩晕的严重程度。苹果公司或许想为之留下一些玻璃吧。
But regardless, we want to point out to Apple that the FDA just approved a blood test that can gauge the severity of head trauma. The company may want to keep a few of those around.
