小伙伴们,华为8月9日发布的鸿蒙系统非常震撼,快跟M君学习一下相关双语表达吧!

8 月 9 日,华为在东莞松山湖总部召开 2019 年度的华为开发者大会,华为消费者业务CEO余承东正式向全球发布鸿蒙OS,并宣布开源鸿蒙OS。

Huawei Technologies Co unveiled its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking the Chinese tech giant's arguably biggest push to build its own software ecosystem.


词汇积累

unveil: v.

(首次)展示,介绍,推出;将…公之于众

同义词:

debut:n.     

(演员、运动员)首次亮相;初次登台(或上场)
the first public appearance of a performer or sports player

名字由来

鸿蒙系统并没有像大家所预期的那样采用“HongMeng”,而是用了英语单词“harmony”!

Unlike the much-expected name of HongMeng, Huawei adopted  Harmony  for its in-house operating system to solve all these problems.

harmony

n. 融洽;和睦

a state of peaceful existence and agreement

为什么取这个名字呢?听听华为消费业务CEO余承东的解释吧!

“‘鸿蒙’中文有‘开天辟地’的意思,最接近的英语单词就是Genesis。用汉语拼音太难发音了,所以我们取名Harmony,希望给世界带来更多和平、方便。”


余承东所说的Genesis是指事物的开端、创始、起源,《旧约圣经》首卷就是Genesis(《创世纪》),记载的是关于天地万物的创造、人类的太古史和以色列民族的起源。可以说,这是西方文化中与“鸿蒙”极为相近的一个词了。

鸿蒙OS介绍

鸿蒙OS是基于微内核、面向全场景的分布式操作系统,可用于各种设备,包括智能手机、可穿戴设备以及笔记本电脑。

Harmony OS is a microkernel-based, distributed OS for all scenarios, which can be used in various devices including smartphones, wearable devices and laptops.

这一段标准理科生的介绍,小伙伴们听懂了吗?别怕,M君给你解释一下~

微内核——是对应现有的谷歌、苹果主要的宏内核操作系统

全场景——是为各种生活场景提供无缝智慧化生活体验

分布式——是指打通所有终端,能够部署在手机、平板、手表等各个硬件设备上


名词解释

可穿戴设备:

英文:wearable devices

含义:可穿戴设备即直接穿在身上,或是整合到用户的衣服或配件的一种便携式设备。

产品

watch类:Apple Watch、三星Galaxy Gear、PS-500智能手机、PS-100智能手环

shoes类:耐克智能运动鞋

glass类:谷歌眼镜


余承东在开发者大会现场宣布,华为鸿蒙OS将“开源”,这意味着,所有的开发者都可以在鸿蒙OS源代码上修改和自行开发使用。

Huawei described Harmony as an open source, microkernel-based distributed operating system for various types of hardware, with faster inter-process communication than QNX or Google's "Fuchsia" microkernel, and real-time resource allocation.


词汇积累

microkernel:n.

微内核;微核;微核心;微內核;微内核结构

In computer science, a microkernel is the near-minimum amount of software that can provide the mechanisms needed to implement operating systems (OS).

例句:

While a microkernel is by no means a complete operating system, this design achieves a major goal. 

尽管一个微内核离完整的操作系统还很远,但这样的设计达到了我们的主要目标。

03

鸿蒙OS发展史

鸿蒙OS两年前开始做了,先是做鸿蒙的内核,先用安卓等各种智能终端的TEE。今年,开始把鸿蒙OS用于更多设备,首款产品是8月10日发布的荣耀智慧屏产品。明年也会有鸿蒙2.0版本,后年有鸿蒙3.0版本,不断完善——微内核完善、外核完善、编译器更加完善、开发环境完善,让我们能力越来越强。可以用在多种设备上,包括手表、手环、车机、PC、平板……

Work on the new OS began 2 years ago with version 1.0 of the microkernel. In 2019, they accelerated work so the OS can work on more device types such as smart screen products. The Chinese company says version 2.0 of its microkernel will be released next year while version 3.0 arrives in 2021, bringing support for wearables and car head units.

什么时候可以应用呢?


余承东给出了肯定的答复:“大家问什么时候用?随时可以用,但是因为考虑到生态原因,我们支持谷歌的安卓生态,优先使用谷歌安卓操作系统,如果安卓操作系统无法使用了,我们就随时可以启用我们的鸿蒙。”

When asked whether Harmony can be used in its smartphones, Yu said, "Of course, it can be used in smartphones. But Android is still Huawei's preferred choice for handsets, given the status-quo ecosystem. However, when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied to smartphones immediately."

Huawei says they can switch to Harmony OS right now because the migration is not very difficult due to the nature of the microkernel; they boast they can switch from Android to Harmony in 1-2 days.

      一起期待华为鸿蒙OS带来更多惊喜吧!
