譯評：這段翻譯忠實。缺點是末一點，原文說鍵盤系統是iPhone的一項寶貴資產和競爭優勢，並不是譯文所稱的「最」---最，可能是文後提的它的. I will say that the iPhone is the most sophisticated software platform ever created for a mobile device（蘋果為iPhone打造了迄今為止所有手機中最為複雜的軟件平台﹐）。「賣點」翻譯「advantage」可能不恰當。
「答﹕iPhone擁有所有移動通訊設備中最好、最先進的鍵盤系統。就象所有其他小鍵盤一樣﹐用戶只要花三到四天就能適應﹐而且很快就能學會信賴其智能自動糾錯功能。迄今所有使用過iPhone的人都很喜歡這款手機﹐並表示他們用iPhone的打字速度能與黑莓、Treo及其他智能手機媲美﹐甚至更快。通過iPhone的鍵盤系統﹐用戶能使用更高級的軟件來提高拼寫準確性﹐並能夠根據功能需要設置快捷鍵﹐當然也可以在不用時讓鍵盤消失﹐從而騰出iPhone的大屏幕來閱讀郵件、瀏覽網頁、查閱地圖、看照片或是電影﹐或是使用一些目前尚未發掘的新功能。公司認為﹐iPhone的鍵盤系統是這台設備最寶貴的財富、也是最具競爭力的一個賣點。
Jobs: The iPhone has the best, most advanced keyboard in any mobile device. Like all small keyboards, it takes three or four days to get used to. IPhone users will quickly learn to trust its intelligence to correct their mistakes automatically. So far, everyone who has used it loves it, and reports that they are typing as fast or faster than they did on their Treo or BlackBerry or other smart phone. The iPhone's keyboard lets us use far more sophisticated software to improve accuracy, customize the keyboard for specific applications, and of course remove the keyboard when it's not needed, freeing iPhone's entire large screen for reading email, browsing the Web, looking at maps, enjoying photos and movies, and doing things we haven't yet invented. We think the iPhone's keyboard is one of its greatest assets and competitive advantages. 」 (WSJ)
