Emoji表情將增加5種膚色

Responding to users' complaints about a lack of characters whose skin reflects the variety of people who use smartphones, the group that sets technical standards is adding five more shades to the mix.
?由于用戶反映智能手機(jī)表情膚色單一，無(wú)法反映使用者膚色的多樣性，制定編碼技術(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的統(tǒng)一碼聯(lián)盟(The Unicode Consortium)計(jì)劃增加五種有色人種表情。

The Unicode Consortium had previously backed only one skin color, a yellow-orange tone that it considered generic. But it threw away that approach after a wide call for more variety.
統(tǒng)一碼聯(lián)盟過(guò)去只支持一種膚色，那就是它認(rèn)為比較通用的橘黃色。不過(guò)在用戶廣泛呼吁增加膚色多樣性之后，該聯(lián)盟已經(jīng)決定舍棄舊有的技術(shù)方案。

If you're late to the emoji party, they're the characters that use faces and other human-like images to express emotions and ideas. The new plan lets people use emoji that look like them — and they'll also be able to make groups of emoji in which the faces don't all look like one another.
你也許還沒(méi)有加入到這場(chǎng)emoji表情符號(hào)的盛宴，它們是一個(gè)個(gè)符號(hào)，通過(guò)模仿人的臉部表情來(lái)傳遞情感與想法。統(tǒng)一碼聯(lián)盟的新計(jì)劃能夠讓人們使用與自己更為相像的表情符號(hào)。同時(shí)，人們可以任意組合出異于他人的表情符號(hào)。

The change would take effect next year; here's how the consortium explains it:
此次變化將在2015年實(shí)現(xiàn)。對(duì)此，統(tǒng)一碼聯(lián)盟做出了以下說(shuō)明：

"People all over the world want to have emoji that reflect more human diversity, especially for skin tone. The Unicode emoji characters for people and body parts are meant to be generic, yet following the precedents set by the original Japanese carrier images, they are often shown with a light skin tone instead of a more generic (inhuman) appearance, such as a yellow/orange color or a silhouette.
“世界各地的用戶們都希望emoji表情符號(hào)能體現(xiàn)人類種族的多樣性，尤其在膚色這一點(diǎn)上。我們用于表達(dá)使用者情感以及肢體動(dòng)作的統(tǒng)一碼emoji表情符號(hào)應(yīng)該要通用。但是依照之前源自于日本手機(jī)用戶使用的符號(hào)模式，它們通常顏色亮麗卻不是通用的膚色(與人種膚色差別巨大)，比如說(shuō)橘黃色或者一個(gè)剪影。”

"Unicode Version 8.0 is adding 5 symbol modifier characters that provide for a range of skin tones for human emoji. These characters are based on the six tones of the Fitzpatrick scale, a recognized standard for dermatology (there are many examples of this scale online, such asFitzpatrickSkinType.pdf). The exact shades may vary between implementations."

“統(tǒng)一碼8.0標(biāo)準(zhǔn)(Unicode Version 8.0)將增加5個(gè)改良符號(hào)，這樣它們就能為表情添加膚色選擇。這些符號(hào)顏色是根據(jù)六種菲茨帕特里克皮膚分類(Fitzpatrick scale)劃分的，它是皮膚學(xué)學(xué)科中公認(rèn)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。(在網(wǎng)上有很多關(guān)于這種分類標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的例子，比如FitzpatrickSkinType.pdf)最終表情的膚色深淺可能會(huì)因?qū)嶋H執(zhí)行方案而發(fā)生變化。”
