苹果公司是美国计算机工业的巨子,曾被视为战后工业时期美国高科技界的偶像而倍受人们青睐。然而近年来,该公司却在竞争中屡屡败北,去年一个季度的亏损额就达6900万美元,更为严重的是,曾一度使该公司独出群芳的一枝“花”——麦金托什计算机技术也开始凋落了。种种迹象表明,在计算机界,苹果公司正在迅速沦为一个无足轻重的角色。 Apple, a giant in the U.S. computer industry, was once favored by the idol as America’s high-tech industry during the postwar era. However, in recent years, the company has repeatedly lost ground in the competition. Last quarter, it suffered a loss of 69 million U.S. dollars. Even worse, the “Flower” Tush computer technology has begun to fall. There are indications that in the computer industry, Apple is rapidly becoming an insignificant player.
