　　The last time a new iPhone was released, lastSeptember with the iPhone 5S, Apple coordinated itsrelease so that Beijing customers and New Yorkcustomers could buy their gadgets at the sametime. Before then, Mainland China fans had to waitmonths to get their hands on iPhones alreadyavailable in the U.S. and Europe.

　　去年9月，上一款iPhone发布的时候，在苹果公司的协调下，北京的消费者得以与纽约的消费者同时在第一时间购买到iPhone 5S。在那之前，往往是iPhone已经在美国和欧洲发布了几个月了，中国大陆的果粉才能盼到属于他们自己的iPhone。

　　For reasons that aren’t clear just yet, that’s not the case with the iPhone 6. Apple said the newgeneration iPhone wouldn’t go on sale in China on the same date —this Friday, Sept. 19— asthe U.S. and nine other regions.

　　这次iPhone 6的首发地也没有中国大陆，具体原因尚不清楚。苹果只是表示，新一代iPhone将于9月19日在美国和其他9个地区同步首发，中国大陆未在此列。

　　China’s big carriers aren’t saying much publicly, but recent calls to their stores and service repsindicate they won’t be getting the iPhone 6 until the end of the year. A China Mobileemployee said she couldn’t say anything on the timing because Apple hadn’t yet decided whenit would release the iPhone in China. (Apple not making a decision was a common refrain inthe Chinese press this week.) Meanwhile, a rep at China Unicom, the country’s second largestcarrier, said the iPhone 6 would likely be available near the end of this year.

　　中国的三大运营商并没有公开说得太多，不过最近通过电话访问三大运营商的门店和服务代表得知，他们恐怕到年底前都无法获得iPhone 6。中国移动(China Mobile)的一名员工表示，她没法对iPhone 6的上市时间做任何表态，因为苹果还没有决定什么时候在中国发布iPhone 6。(在本周的中国媒体上，“苹果未做出决定”是一句非常普遍的理由。)同时中国第二大运营商中国联通(China Unicom)的一名代表也表示，iPhone 6可能要到将近年底才能上市。
