Who says Santa Claus has to be white? Until now, your iPhone's emoji keyboard did.
誰說圣誕老人一定要是白臉的？現(xiàn)在，你的蘋果表情鍵盤可以實現(xiàn)這一轉變。

A new beta release of iOS 8.3, currently available only to software developers,?fixes?that. It includes the option to change an emoji's skin color, meaning you can finally choose something beyond the pale pink hands and white boys and girls currently available. The human-looking emoji -- including the one for Kris Kringle -- will now have six different skin tones to pick from.
即將發(fā)布的iOS8.3測試版在做一些改善，它目前只能被一些軟件開發(fā)者使用。它即將要改變表情的膚色，這意味著你可以在現(xiàn)有的淺紅色的手掌、白肌膚的男孩女孩上作出一些其他顏色的嘗試。包括圣誕老人的人物表情，將會有六種不同的膚色供你選擇。

What’s more, same-sex families will soon have a place on the emoji keyboard.
更逗的是，同性家庭系列也即將出現(xiàn)在表情鍵盤中。

Some have lauded the move for pushing emoji beyond certain stereotypes, like the default image of a brown man in a?turban.
一部分人贊許了這一舉動，因為這樣一來原始表情就不再那么一塵不變了，就算是一個來自圖爾班的棕色人種也有屬于自己的膚色表情了。
