　　“電話了解雅虎更多信息請(qǐng)撥零。”

　　It’s called “Yahoo! by phone”. The idea you don’t have to have a computer to access to Internet. Forget a mouse click. All you need is a touch tone. Several small companies like Tell-me and BeVocal have already launched similar systems that use voice portals. Yahoo’s offers email.

　　那就是所謂的“電話雅虎行”。這想法就是，不必用電腦上網(wǎng)，更不用鼠標(biāo)，你只要說(shuō)話字正腔圓。幾家像“Tell me”和“BeVocal”等規(guī)模稍小的公司已經(jīng)啟動(dòng)了使用語(yǔ)音系統(tǒng)的類(lèi)似系統(tǒng)。雅虎則在提供電子郵件方面的使用。

　　“they can listen to stock quotes, they can listen to news, they can listen to sports scores and they can listen to weather.”

　　“nearly everyone has a phone, there are more people that have telephones than have PCs. And this is just one way for us to make people to access their information. Let’s say you’re expecting a good message from a good friend of yours, that you’re may be going to meet her for dinner. And you think she might have tried to contract you by email. Well you call in and listen to your email.

　　And she says you don’t have to be computer savvy to use it. Here’s is how it works. Just dial 1800-myYahoo, punch in your code and listen. 

　　“幾乎人人有電話，擁有電話的人比擁有電腦的人多，這只是我們幫助人們更容易獲取信息的一種途徑。比方說(shuō)你期望收到一個(gè)好朋友的消息，或許你打算和她見(jiàn)面吃飯，你認(rèn)為可能已經(jīng)通過(guò)電子郵件來(lái)聯(lián)系你，那么你可以打電話來(lái)聽(tīng)你的郵件內(nèi)容。

　　“Hi, and welcome to Yahoo!”

　　“您好，歡迎來(lái)到雅虎！“

　　“thank you for using Yahoo, goodbye!”

　　“歡迎使用雅虎系統(tǒng)，再見(jiàn)！”
