元器件交易网讯  亚马逊在昨晚（4月2日）的新品发布会上正式推出了基于安卓的游戏机顶盒Fire TV。除了产品Fire TV，亚马逊创始人索贝斯的缺席也引起了业内的热议，纷纷猜测他未到现场的原因。《纽约时报》也刊发文章对此调侃称索贝斯乘坐火箭准备去一个没有营业税收的地方了。

　　以下是外媒原文翻译：

　　亚马逊4月2日晚的发布会揭开了科技领域的一大谜案——什么时候亚马逊发布被传说许久的设备。

　　不过，这又引发了另一个谜案：杰夫·贝索斯去哪儿了。

　　周三的发布会是亚马逊从2011年以来在硬件领域最大的举动，并且这也是亚马逊为实现其在任何地方卖给任何人任何东西的雄心的标志性时刻。因此，你原以为亚马逊的创始人，CEO和最大股东一定会出现在发布会现场。

　　另外，亚马逊的其他高管完全没有引发观众尖叫的舞台表现。种种迹象表明，贝索斯是亚马逊核心人物和最好的推销员。

　　也许他不得不处理自己的税收。也许他乘坐自己的火箭准备飞到一个没有营业税的地方。

　　“我的确不知道他在哪儿，”亚马逊副总裁Dave Limp在发布会后对我的同事Jonah Bromwich说。

　　外媒原文如下：

　　Jeff Bezos, Please Call Your Office

　　Amazon’s news conference on Wednesday solved one of the biggest riddles in technology — when would Amazon ever introduce one of the devices it has been endlessly rumored to be working on?

　　But it also introduced another mystery: Where the heck was Jeff Bezos?

　　This was Amazon’s biggest move in hardware since 2011, and might be a landmark moment in the company’s ambition to sell everything everywhere to everyone. So you would think the company’s founder, chief executive and biggest shareholder would be on hand.

　　Furthermore, Amazon’s other executives do not exactly have the stage presence to wow audiences. Along with everything else, Mr. Bezos is Amazon’s chief impresario and best salesman.

　　Maybe he had to do his taxes. Maybe he’s strapping himself into his rocket ship and getting ready to blast off to somewhere there’s no sales tax.

　　“I actually don’t know where he is,” Dave Limp, an Amazon vice president, told my colleague Jonah Bromwich after the event.

　　That makes two of us.
