听力原文及翻译

Apple on Monday charged into the artificial intelligence craze with a new iPhone lineup that marks the company's latest attempt to latch onto a technology trend and transform it into a cultural phenomenon.

苹果周一推出全新 iPhone 系列，加入人工智能热潮，这是该公司抓住技术趋势并将其转变为文化现象的最新尝试。

The four different iPhone 16 models will all come equipped with special chips needed to power a suite of AI tools that Apple hopes will make its marquee product even more indispensable and reverse a recent sales slump.

四款不同的 iPhone 16 型号都将配备特殊芯片，为一系列人工智能工具提供动力，苹果希望这些工具能使其招牌产品变得更加不可或缺，并扭转近期的销售下滑趋势。

Apple's AI features are designed to turn its often-blundering virtual assistant Siri into a smarter and more versatile sidekick, automate a wide range of tedious tasks, and pull off other crowd-pleasing tricks such as creating customized emojis within seconds.

苹果的人工智能功能旨在将其经常犯错的虚拟助手 Siri 变成一个更聪明、更全能的伙伴，自动执行各种繁琐的任务，并完成其他令人愉悦的技巧，例如在几秒钟内创建自定义表情符号。

After receiving a standing ovation for Monday's event, Apple CEO Tim Cook promised the AI package would unleash "innovations that will make a true difference in people's lives." But the breakthroughs won't begin as soon as the new iPhones — ranging in price from $800 to $1,200 — hit the stores on September 20.

在周一的活动上获得全场起立鼓掌后，苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克承诺，人工智能套件将释放“真正改变人们生活的创新”。但这些突破不会在新款 iPhone（售价从 800 美元到 1,200 美元不等）于 9 月 20 日上市后立即开始。

Most of Apple's AI functions will roll out as part of a free software update to iOS 18, the operating system that will power the iPhone 16 rolling out from October through December. U.S. English will be the featured language at launch, but an update enabling other languages will come out next year, according to Apple.

Apple 的大部分 AI 功能将作为 iOS 18 免费软件更新的一部分推出，iOS 18 操作系统将从 10 月到 12 月为 iPhone 16 提供支持。据 Apple 称，美国英语将是发布时的特色语言，但支持其他语言的更新将于明年推出。
