谷歌推Android電視搶佔客廳戰略制高點大綱

After using the start of its annual I/O developer conference to unveil new Android products for the car and the wrist, Google turned its attention to the living room.
谷歌（Google）繼在年度I/O開發者大會開場時發佈新款Android汽車和可穿戴設備後，現在又將注意力轉向了人們的客廳。

Part of a string of new product announcements from Google on Wednesday, the company revealed Android TV software, which will run on smart TVs and stream movies, television and games. Users will be able to control the Android operating system and stream content using their smartphone, or they can use an Android Wear smart watch – one of the products Google announced earlier in the day.
上週三，谷歌發佈了一系列新產品，其中包括能在智能電視和流媒體電影、電視和遊戲上運行的Android電視軟件。用戶能用智能手機或Android Wear智能手錶，控制Android操作系統，傳輸內容。Android Wear也是谷歌當天發佈的一款新品。

Available this fall, Android TV also weaves in the search power of Google as well as voice recognition, meaning users will be able to ask questions out loud to their smartphone or wearable device in order to search for information or content they can stream to a smart TV, or through other devices.
將於今年秋季上市的Android電視還加入了谷歌的搜索功能以及語音識別，意味着用戶將能用語音向智能手機或便攜設備提問，從而搜索能傳輸到智能電視或其它設備上的信息或內容。

This was one announcement that swerved from expectations leading up to the conference, as manypreliminary reports suggested Google would be releasing a television set-top box to challenge competitors in that market such as Apple TV and Amazon’s new Fire TV. Other reports successfully predicted Google’s entry into the wearable devices market with the release of its Android Wear technology, as well as the search giant’s commitment to health and fitness tracking through its Google Fit platform.
Android電視的發佈有些出人意料。此前，許多初期報告稱，谷歌將推出電視機頂盒產品，以挑戰蘋果（Apple）電視和亞馬遜（Amazon）新款Fire電視等競爭產品。另一些報告成功預測了谷歌發佈Android Wear進軍可穿戴設備市場、推出Google Fit平臺聚焦健康和健身跟蹤的動向。

The company said Wednesday that Google Fit will allow Android users to track their fitness goals using health sensors while also allowing various apps and devices to sync and share data with the platform. The product is a challenge to the similar health and fitness tracking software Apple announced at its own developer conference earlier this month, the Apple Health Kit and the Health app.
谷歌上週三表示，通過Google Fit，Android用戶能利用健康傳感器跟蹤自身健身目標；同時，Google Fit平臺還能與多款應用和設備同步和共享數據。本月早些時候，蘋果在自己的開發者大會上發佈了類似的健康和健身跟蹤軟件——Apple Health Kit以及 Health應用。顯然，Google Fit將叫板蘋果的產品。
