  Buses used to transport Apple employees to their offices have been attacked, with windows smashed, possibly by people using pellet guns.

  苹果接送员工上下班专用大巴受到攻击,车窗有所破损,可能是有人持气枪所致。

  There have been several such attacks on the morning and evening commutes to and from Apple headquarters in the Californian city of Cupertino.

  加州丘珀蒂诺苹果总部的大巴在早晚接送员工上下班途中,受到过数次类似攻击。

  Some news outlets report that the firm has sent an email to employees, saying buses are now being rerouted.

  一些媒体报道,苹果公司已向员工发送电子邮件,告知大巴路线变更。

  Local news website SFGate reported that a Google bus had also been targeted.

  据当地新闻网SFGate报道,谷歌大巴也受到攻击。

  There have been no reported injuries and there is no suggestion that the perpetrator is targeting a particular company.

  据报道并无人员伤亡并且也无迹象表明是有人故意瞄准谷歌公司(攻击)。

  The attacks could be linked to previous ill-feeling about how the tech sector is causing a gentrification of San Francisco and the surrounding area.

  此次袭击事件可能与部分人们对相关科技行业领域引起旧金山及其周边地区的乡绅化的不满有关。

  In 2013, a bus carrying Google employees had its windows smashed, followed by protests over how the the well-paid tech sector had pushed up house prices in the city.

  早在2013年,一辆满载谷歌员工的巴士就曾被砸碎车窗,用来抗议科技部门的高薪抬高了这个城市的房价。

  The current attacks all took place on Highway 280 with reports suggesting Apple is now diverting its buses from that road, adding 30 to 45 minutes to the commute.

  目前,袭击都发生在280号高速公路,报道称苹果公司正将通勤大巴迁离该路线,因而增加了30~45分钟的通勤时间。

  California Highway Patrol confirmed that the incidents took place. "We’re not certain what caused the damage at this time, but we’re not ruling anything out," CHP officer Art Montiel told NBC News.

  加州高速公路巡逻队证实了袭击事件。“我们不确定这次袭击事件的具体原因,但我们不会放过任何线索。”

  It could have been a pellet gun, but what we do know is it was not a high-powered rifle or anything like that, he added.

  “可能是把空气枪,不过我们可以确认的是(造成破坏的)并非强力来复枪或是类似的东西”。他补充道。
