聽力原文:
BlackBerry is one of the world’s leading smart phone and e-mail devices. It currently enjoys a 20% marketshare of mobile phone sales, but that is under pressure from Apple’s iPhone and similar phones. The BlackBerry is developed by the Canadian IT company RIM (Research In Motion). It started out life in 1999 as a pager but quickly developed into a more communicative tool that exploited Internet capabilities. It soon grew to be the number one choice for business people in the USA. Barack Obama famously was rarely unattachedto his device during the 2008 presidential campaign. Today, more than 40 million Blackberries a year are shipped worldwide. The addictive nature of the device means it has picked up the nickname “CrackBerry”, aterm borrowed from “crack” cocaine.

黑莓是世界知名的智能手機品牌,并擁有推動式電子郵箱功能
。黑莓擁有全球20%的銷售額,但是蘋果等其他手機品牌給黑莓造成了不小的壓力 。黑莓是由加拿大通信公司Research In Motion出品 。1999年,黑莓成立,開始時黑莓生產的是尋呼機,之后成為了一款通訊工具,并利用了互聯網平臺 。之后黑成為了美國商人的不二選擇 。奧巴馬在2008年的總統競選中總是與黑莓手機形影不離 。如今,黑莓手機全球一年的銷售量就超過了4000萬臺 。這款手機非常吸引顧客的目光,它也被人們叫作“黑莓族”,這一單詞是源自可卡因中的“強” 。譯文屬可可英語原創,未經允許,不得轉載 。
