華為鴻蒙系統問世,這些外媒的解讀,特朗普聽到了嗎?
8月9日,華為正式發布全新分散式操作系統:鴻蒙 Harmony OS
在廣東東莞舉行的華為2019年開發者大會上,華為揭開了新操作系統的神秘面紗,並將它命名為鴻蒙 Harmony OS (英文不是之前大家認為的「Hongmeng OS」)。

受美國制裁的影響,基於安卓操作系統的華為面臨巨大壓力。
因此,華為自家的鴻蒙操作系統剛一揭開面紗,外媒就將關注焦點放在鴻蒙操作系統是否能成為華為用以取代谷歌安卓系統的殺手鐧。

CNN認為,華為自身操作系統的問世,可以在持續升級的中美貿易戰中保護華為。
Huawei has finally unveiled its own operating system, a move that could help shield the smartphone maker from the escalating US-China trade war.
華為終於推出了自己的操作系統,此舉可能有助於保護這家智能手機製造商免受不斷升級的中美貿易戰的影響。
The reveal of Harmony OS comes months after the Chinese tech company was placed on a US trade blacklist that barred American firms from selling tech and software to Huawei unless they get a license to do so. That ban has prevented companies like Google (GOOGL) from supplying new Huawei devices with its version of Android OS.
幾個月前,這家中國科技公司被列入美國貿易黑名單,除非獲得許可,美國公司被禁止向華為銷售技術和軟體,這一禁令阻止了谷歌向華為的新設備提供其安卓操作系統。

Reuters也指出,華為的新操作系統,可幫助華為減少對美國公司的依賴。
The new OS is part of Huawei』s attempt to develop its own technologies from chips to software to reduce its reliance on U.S. firms amid an intensifying U.S.-China trade war.
新操作系統是華為在不斷升級的中美貿易戰中,開發自有技術(從晶元到軟體)之努力的一部分,以減少其對美國企業的依賴。
Huawei had previously given little information about the software, fueling speculation about how quickly or effectively it could find an alternative to the Android system.
華為此前幾乎沒有提供過有關這款軟體的信息,引發了外界不少猜測,即華為能多快或多有效地找到安卓系統的替代品。

在昨天的發布會上,華為消費者業務CEO余承東表示,鴻蒙完全不同於安卓和iOS系統。華為可以在任何時候將鴻蒙應用於它的智能手機,但目前華為將首先在其智能手錶、智能電視、智能揚聲器、車載系統等設備上運用該新操作系統。
BBC分析其原因是,目前全球大部分智能手機都是基於安卓操作系統運行的,假如華為將自己與安卓生態系統割裂,可能會削弱華為手機的吸引力。
App makers already have their hands full developing their software for Android and Apple"s iOS.
應用程序開發者已經為了安卓和蘋果iOS系統開發軟體忙得不可開交。
Huawei will have to convince them to develop yet another version for HarmonyOS, with no guarantee that people will buy the devices.
華為將不得不說服他們為鴻蒙開發另一個版本,還不能保證人們會購買這些手機。
This is a problem faced by anyone hoping to challenge the dominance of Android and iOS.
這是任何希望挑戰安卓和iOS主導地位的公司都面臨的問題。
It plagued BlackBerry 10, which never convinced some of the world"s biggest apps such as Instagram to support the platform.
這個問題也曾困擾著黑莓10系統,它從未說服Instagram等一些全球最大的應用程序支持這個平台。
Rival phone-maker Samsung already has its own Tizen operating system which powers many of its smart devices - but even it uses Android to power its flagship phones.
華為的競爭對手三星已經擁有了自己的Tizen操作系統,為其許多智能設備提供動力,但即便是三星也在其旗艦手機上使用安卓系統。

《南華早報》援引專家的看法,認為華為這波操作非常深思熟慮。
「Using Harmony on other devices first, instead of smartphones, is a thoughtful move by Huawei,」 said Jia Mo, an analyst from research agency Canalys. 「Huawei needs to consider its relationship with Google and it has still not had definitive word from the US that it has been banned from using Android for good.」
「首先在其他設備上使用鴻蒙,而不是智能手機,這是華為深思熟慮的舉措,」研究機構Canalys的分析師賈默表示。「華為需要考慮它與谷歌的關係,而且它還沒有從美國得到明確的消息,是否它已被永久禁止使用安卓。」
Past attempts by other companies to create an Android alternative have not been successful.
其他公司過去也曾嘗試開發安卓替代品,但都沒有成功。
「As a brand-new OS, Huawei will need to continuously optimise and improve it,」 said Jia. 「Carrying it on internet of things (IoT) devices first will help it educate developers and let consumers have the chance to try it out, allowing it to mature and open up more opportunities over time.」
「作為一個全新的操作系統,華為需要不斷優化和改進,」賈默說。「首先將其應用於物聯網設備將有助於啟發開發者,並讓消費者有機會試用它,讓它成熟起來,並隨著時間的推移創造更多的機會。」

華為鴻蒙系統的問世令國人振奮和激動,但它面臨的挑戰和未卜的前途也值得認真思考和對待。
儘管前路道阻且長,讓我們祝福鴻蒙,為它加油!
