双语新闻:苹果Siri的原创团队出现离职潮

青岛希尼尔翻译公司(www.sinosenior.com)2016年5月16日了解到:Almost all of the talent Apple acquired from the original Siri team has reportedly left the company, with a pair of key departures having taken place in recent weeks.

据报道,Siri团队的初试成员几乎全部离职,有几位关键人物在最近几周刚刚离开。

Calling him "one of the last members of the original Siri team," The Information reported on Wednesday that Darren Haas has left Apple for General Electric. He’ll join Steve D’Aurora, another ex-Siri team member who resigned from Apple for GE a few weeks ago.

Information网站于周三报道称自称“Siri团队的最后几位初始成员之一”的Darren Haas已于几周前离开苹果公司赴通用电气任职。

The changeups also come a few days after a team of ex-Siri personnel unveiled Viv, a new, advanced virtual assistant that aims to offer functionality well beyond what Apple’s Siri can currently do. Demonstrated tasks include ordering a car from Uber, buying flowers from FTD, and ordering tickets from a variety of services, and offer intelligent, contextual responses, such as alternatives when a showtime for a movie is sold out.

在此次离职潮发生的几天前,前Siri团队成员刚刚发布了Viv,Viv是一款功能类似Siri但性能远胜后者的软件。目前其演示功能包括呼叫优步专车,在FTD上订购鲜花,订票,提供如某时段电影票售罄时的解决方案在内的智能情景响应服务。

Haas’s departure affirms an earlier rumor suggesting Apple’s "head of cloud engineering" was on his way out the door. The Siri team is said to have clashed with management at Apple, and have particularly been at odds with the team that oversees Apple’s iCloud services.

Haas的离职证实此前苹果“云计算负责人”即将离开公司的传言。据说Siri团队同管理层产生过冲突,和负责管理云服务的团队也存在分歧。

Apple apparently decided to extend the Siri cloud computing platform to include services under the iCloud team’s banner, like iTunes and iMessages. That transition is said to have made some at Apple feel uneasy about job security.

苹果公司将Siri云计算平台纳入iCloud团队旗下(包括iTunes和iMessages)的意图非常明显,此举令许多职工担忧自己能否保住工作。

Both Haas and D’Angelo were key acqui-hires that came on board through Apple’s purchase of Siri in 2010. The tech developed by the company debuted on the iPhone 4s and is now integrated into all current iOS devices, serving functions from creating calendar entries to answering basic user inquiries.

2010年苹果公司收购了Siri团队,而Haas和D’Angelo是团队中的关键人物。Siri在iPhone 4s中首次亮相,如今已预装在所有使用iOS系统的设备中,功能包括查看日历,回答用户提出的基本问题等。

However, Siri was meant to do much more than its current feature set as developed under Apple. Prior to the acquisition, Siri integrated with a number of e-commerce providers, ranging from movie tickets to food orders.

然而若非苹果的缘故,Siri本应具备更多的功能。并购前,Siri上能联系到很多电商,用户可以用软件订电影票,叫外卖。

But Apple stripped away those partnerships, as a result of decisions made by late company co-founder Steve Jobs, according to Siri co-creator Dag Kittklaus. He, along with Adam Cheyer, have since left Apple to work on Viv.

Siri联合创始人Dag Kittklaus爆料称,是乔布斯叫停了这些服务,于是自己便和Adam Cheyer离开了苹果转而研发Viv。
