太萌了!蘋果把Emoji表情裏的手槍換成了玩具水槍!

Apple has launched a series of more than 100 new and updated emojis. It's replaced the gun with a water pistol and put out new designs it hopes will be more inclusive.

近日，蘋果發佈了100多個新表情，並更新了之前的一些表情。其中，蘋果用一個玩具水槍替代了手槍，併發布了一些它希望顯得多樣性的新設計。

The company says it wants to "ensure that popular emoji characters reflect the diversity of people everywhere".

蘋果公司表示，他們希望能確保頗受歡迎的emoji表情能反映出人們種族的多樣性。

The new green and orange pistol emoji looks more like a toy and will replace the black and silver revolver.

新發布的綠色和桔色水槍替代了之前的黑色和銀色手槍，使這個表情看起來更像是玩具。

Emoji on Apple products are designed by the Unicode consortium. It all comes after a series of high-profile shootings in America. However, many people on Twitter have joked that switching a gun for a toy isn't "going to solve anything".

蘋果產品的emoji表情都是由Unicode聯盟設計的。本次改變源於美國發生的多起槍擊暴力事件。不過，很多推特用戶開玩笑稱，把手槍表情符號換成玩具並不能解決任何事情。

It may have been ridiculed on social media by some but anti-gun campaigners were delighted to see the change.

儘管蘋果公司的這一決策可能會在社交媒體上遭到嘲笑，但不少反對槍支的運動者還是很樂於見到這一改變的。

Apple say the changes are an "exciting update" and "brings more gender options to existing characters". "These include new female athletes and professionals, beautiful redesigns of popular emoji, a new rainbow flag and more family options."

蘋果公司表示：“這些變化是一次令人興奮的更新，會給人們帶來更多的性別選擇。本次新增了女性運動員與女性專業人士的表情，並對受歡迎的一些表情進行了更加時尚化的外觀改造，此外新增了一個彩虹旗以及更多的家庭表情選擇。”

This isn't the first time that Apple has diversified its collection of approved emojis. Last year it released a range of skin tones for popular faces but received criticism that it used a very yellow colour for the Asian skin.

這已經不是蘋果第一次對已發佈的表情包進行多樣化設計了。去年蘋果就曾發佈了一系列膚色表情圖標，不過卻因爲給亞洲人設計出很黃的皮膚而備受爭議。
