5. 아이팟의 역사를 알아볼까?
The iPod's history goes back to 2000.
- go back to: ...으로 거슬러 올라가다
Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, found that existing digital music players were too large to carry and had abysmal features.
- abysmal = terrible: 최악의, 최저의
As the demand to download digital music grew, Apple decided to create its own MP3 player. On October 23, 2001, the iPod was born. Jobs announced that "listening to music will never be the same again." In July 2002, the first Windows-compatible iPod was released. Then, in April 20003, a third-generation iPod with touch controls hit the market.
- hit the market: 시장에 출시되다
This gave consumers an entirely new way to enjoy music. In January 2004, the glamorous iPod mini made its debut in a choice of five metallic colors.
- make (one's) debut: 첫선을 보이다, 처음 등장하다
In September 2005, the iPod nano was released. This nifty device was slimmer than a pencil.
- nifty: 실용적인, 쓰기 좋은(handy), 솜씨 좋은, 훌륭한
Since then, this iconic piece has been expanding its reach by leaps and bounds, thanks to its high-tech quality and irresistible design.
- iconic: 우상(偶像, 맹목적으로 숭배하는 대상)의, ...의 상징이 되는
- by/in leaps and bounds: 착착, 순조롭게, 급속히, 대폭
- irresistible: 너무 매력적이어서 거부할 수 없는, 너무 유혹적인, 억누를/저항할 수 없는
