科技英语：谷歌重磅公布， Gmail上新超预期
周二谷歌大型开发者大会的一大收获就是 Gmail 看起来将变得多么令人难以置信。
Google's signature email service is already beloved and indispensable for many, with more than 1.8 billion users worldwide. But the coming updates and seemingly smooth integration of Google's AI model Gemini could take Gmail to the next level.
Google 的签名电子邮件服务已经受到许多人的喜爱和不可或缺，在全球拥有超过 18 亿用户。 但即将到来的更新以及看似顺利的谷歌人工智能模型 Gemini 集成可能会将 Gmail 提升到一个新的水平。
In a live demonstration during the Google I/O keynote, Aparna Pappu, vice president of Google Workspace, announced three updates coming to Gmail that will use a Gemini-powered Side Panel Assistant:
在 Google I/O 主题演讲期间的现场演示中，Google Workspace 副总裁 Aparna Pappu 宣布了 Gmail 的三项更新，这些更新将使用 Gemini 驱动的侧面板助手：
（1）Summarize总结
The first feature is a summarize option, where Gemini can read through a long email thread and summarize the main points, saving you from having to scroll up and read replies you may have missed.
第一个功能是摘要选项，双子座可以阅读很长的电子邮件线程并总结要点，从而使您不必向上滚动并阅读您可能错过的回复。
（2）Q&A问题
The Q&A function allows Gmail users to simply ask a question that Gemini can answer by referencing all of their emails and attachments. Examples given include, "What time do doors open for the Knicks' game?" and "When are my shoes arriving?" Rather than have to search for an email, open it, and read through it to find the answer you're looking for, Gemini can do it for you.
问答功能允许 Gmail 用户简单地提出一个问题，Gemini 可以通过参考他们的所有电子邮件和附件来回答。 给出的例子包括“尼克斯队的比赛什么时候开门？” 和“我的鞋子什么时候到？” 双子座可以为您做这件事，而不必搜索电子邮件、打开它并通读它来找到您正在寻找的答案。
（3）Contextual smart reply上下文智能回复
The third feature is contextual smart reply, where Gemini suggests potential email responses. Unlike basic predictive response tools, the new function will suggest customized responses based on Gemini reviewing what's already been discussed.
第三个功能是上下文智能回复，Gemini 会建议潜在的电子邮件回复。 与基本的预测响应工具不同，新功能将根据 Gemini 审查已经讨论过的内容来建议定制响应。
Google said the features will first roll out to Google Workspace Labs, a program where users can experiment with AI, in the coming months.
谷歌表示，这些功能将在未来几个月首先在 Google Workspace Labs 推出，这是一个用户可以试验人工智能的项目。
The AI-powered assistant could transform the Gmail experience
AI 驱动的助手可以改变 Gmail 体验
If you're still not sure exactly how useful the new Gmail features could be, Pappu walked through a real-life use case.
如果您仍然不确定新 Gmail 功能到底有多有用，Pappu 介绍了一个现实生活中的用例。
In her example, she was trying to schedule someone to do roof repairs on her house. First, Gemini summarized a long email thread with one of the potential contractors for her to review. But she couldn't remember what the quotes were from the other two contractors she contacted.
在她的例子中，她试图安排某人对她的房子进行屋顶维修。 首先，双子座总结了与一位潜在承包商的一封长电子邮件，供她审阅。 但她不记得她联系的另外两个承包商的报价是什么。
Rather than have to search through her inbox, find the other emails, remember the various quotes and availability of each, she simply asked Gemini to "compare my roof repair bids by price and availability."
她不必搜索收件箱，找到其他电子邮件，记住每封电子邮件的各种报价和可用性，而是简单地要求双子座“按价格和可用性比较我的屋顶维修出价”。
Within moments, Gemini returned a brief summary of each bid, accessing and compiling the relevant information from three different email threads, making it easy to quickly compare them.
很快，Gemini 就返回了每个出价的简短摘要，从三个不同的电子邮件线程中访问并编译了相关信息，从而可以轻松快速地对它们进行比较。
When she went to reply, Gemini's suggested response options showed it understood the back-and-forth up to that point.
当她去回复时，双子座建议的回复选项表明它理解到目前为止的来回内容。
Integration into other Workspace products
集成到其他 Workspace 产品中
Google also showed just how well integrated the Gmail of the future could be with other Workspace products, like Google Sheets.
谷歌还展示了未来的 Gmail 与其他 Workspace 产品（例如 Google Sheets）的集成程度。
In another example, Pappu asked Gemini to help her organize and track receipts.
在另一个例子中，Pappu 要求 Gemini 帮助她整理和跟踪收据。
Within moments, Gemini scanned the inbox and compiled all the receipts into a detailed and neatly laid out spreadsheet — a process that could take hours if completed manually. Users can also have Gemini automate this process, so receipts in the future would automatically be organized and added.
片刻之内，双子座扫描了收件箱，并将所有收据整理成一份详细且布局整齐的电子表格——如果手动完成，这个过程可能需要几个小时。 用户还可以让 Gemini 自动执行此过程，以便将来的收据将自动组织和添加。
Overall, Google's demonstrations showed just how impressive AI-powered features could be in Gmail.
总体而言，Google 的演示展示了 Gmail 中人工智能驱动的功能有多么令人印象深刻。
For those who rely on Gmail in their professional and personal lives, the integration of Gemini sure looks like it might be a game-changing AI assistant.
对于那些在职业和个人生活中依赖 Gmail 的人来说，Gemini 的集成看起来确实可能是一个改变游戏规则的人工智能助手。
