Apple Inc. on Monday unveiled new controls to help people curb the amount
of time they spend on iPhones and iPads, as well as allow parents to remotely
track and limit their children’s use of those devices—a response to growing
societal concern that adults and children are too focused on phones.
苹果公司周一发布了新的控制功能，以协助人们克制他们在iPhone与iPad上花费的时间，同时让父母远程追踪和限制子女对这些设备的使用，这是该公司对社会日益担忧成年人和孩子们沉迷于iPhone设备而所作出的回应。
The company said a new app it will release in September called “Screen
Time” will provide users with weekly reports of the apps they use and allow them
to set time limits for their use of those apps. Parents will be able to use the
system to remotely monitor the apps their children use and limit their time on
devices.
该公司表示，将于9月推出一款名为Screen
Time的新应用，为用户提供其使用应用情况的周报告，并让他们设定自己使用这些应用的时间。父母也将能利用这个系统远端监控其子女使用应用的情况，并对其使用设备的时间作出限制。
The new features played a central role at Apple’s annual Worldwide
Developers Conference, a gathering of about 6,000 developers who create the apps
for the iPhone, iPad and Mac computers. The event is designed to show off
Apple’s latest software—including the newest features to further integrate into
people’s digital lives.
上述新功能在苹果的年度世界开发者大会上扮演了关键角色，这场大会聚集了约6,000名为iPhone、iPad和Mac电脑开发应用的开发者。苹果的年度开发者大会旨在展示该公司最新的软件，包括进一步整合到人们数字生活的最新功能。
Those new features include a new Shortcuts app that will connect the Siri
voice command with certain apps—for instance, Siri could state flight and hotel
information from the Kayak app with a voice command.
这些新功能包括一款新的捷径(Shortcuts)应用，能将Siri声控和特定应用连接起来。譬如，用户可通过声控让Siri念出Kayak应用中的航班和酒店信息。
Though Apple has offered parental controls for years, analysts say the
system only allows parents to set limits on their children’s device use—not
monitor it on a continuing basis. The new “Screen Time” feature changes that by
giving parents those same capabilities.
苹果多年来虽提供家长控制功能，但分析师称该系统只让父母对子女使用设备的情况作出限制，而无法进行持续的监控。新的Screen
Time功能将改变这一点，给予父母持续监控子女使用设备情况的能力。
A new Reports feature will detail how users spend time with the iPhone and
iPad, including how often per hour they look at their devices, when they are
using particular apps and what apps are sending the most notifications.
一项新的报告功能将详细列出用户在iPhone和iPad上花费的时间，包括每小时看设备的频率、使用特定应用的情况，以及哪些应用发送最多通知。 |
