原文內容：
Apple Inc. has held talks with Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. about
building an electric vehicle, though the discussions paused recently,
according to people familiar with the situation.
根據匿名來源指出
蘋果最近暫停了和現代/起亞的電動車談判
Apple has also been discussing similar plans with other auto manufacturers,
the people said. They asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
同樣的匿名來源指出
蘋果同時也有和其他車廠談判電動車計畫
The secret project has ramped up in recent months. It has the potential to
upend the automotive industry and its supply chain in a similar way to Apple’
s reinvention of the consumer device market.
Apple declined to comment. In January, Hyundai, which owns a controlling
stake in Kia, backed away from a statement that said it was in talks with
Apple.
蘋果拒絕評論
現代在1月撤回了一篇提及蘋果在和其談判的新聞稿
That announcement, and other reports of talks, have upset Apple, which keeps
development projects secret for years and controls relationships with
suppliers with ruthless efficiency.
匿名來源說
因為媒體大肆宣傳此談判過程
觸怒了重視保密的蘋果 才導致此結果
It’s unclear if -- or when -- discussions between Apple and Hyundai might
resume. There are only a handful of global automakers with the capacity and
capability to mass manufacture vehicles, and it’s unclear how many of them
would be interested in collaborating with Apple.
目前並不清楚蘋果和現代的談判是否會重啟 或何時重啟
全球並沒有幾家車廠有能力大量製造電動車
而且有多少車廠願意和蘋果合作也是個未知數
There are other hitches, too. One is a dispute within the Hyundai group over
which of its two brands, Hyundai or Kia, may get to manufacture a car for
Apple, one of the people familiar with the situation said. If talks end up
resuming, Kia is seen as more likely and is seeking to build an Apple car at
its plant in Georgia, said the person.
匿名來源還指出
電動車到底是現代做還是KIA做也有爭議
A key question for the industry is how serious Apple is about taking on Tesla
Inc., General Motors Co. and other electric vehicle makers, and whether it
needs an established manufacturer to be able to roll out its own product.
The Cupertino, California-based company has a small team of engineers
developing drive systems, as well as designers, but with development work is
at an early stage, any roll out probably won’t happen for another five
years. That suggests Apple has more time to decide on potential auto-industry
partners.
心得/評論：
彭博社指出 因為炒股新聞滿天飛激怒了重視保密的蘋果
所以蘋果暫停了和現代/起亞的電動車談判
最近一大堆蘋果電動車消息也不曉得是真是假 (這篇也不曉得是真是假= =)
股民們還是要小心分辨不要被當韭菜啦
