Gmail新功能可“撤回”已发邮件

 　　Our prayers have finally been answered.

　　我们的愿望终于要成真了。

　　On Tuesday, Google announced an official "Undo¹ Send" feature for all Gmail web accounts and the Inbox by Gmail app. The feature allows users to "take back" their emails within 30 seconds of sending them.

　　近日，谷歌宣布“撤回”功能正式应用于所有Gmail网络账号和Gmail应用软件的收件箱。这个功能能够让使用者在发出邮件的三十秒内“撤回”邮件。

　　To activate² the function, simply click onto Settings > General, and check the "Enable Undo Send" function. Then, you can choose whether to leave the function on for 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds.

　　想要开启这项功能，只要点击设置>通用，选择“允许撤回”功能。然后你能够选择5、10、20或者30秒内可以执行这项指令。

　　撤回已发邮件

　　After you send an email, a thin yellow strip appears under the search bar in your inbox, announcing that you've sent your email and giving you the option to undo or view your message. If you choose to undo the message -- within the given time frame of course -- your screen will bounce back to the original message, leaving you to delete or edit the message as you wish.

　　发送一封邮件之后，收件箱搜索栏的下方会出现一条黄色通知框，告诉你邮件已发出，可以选择撤回或者浏览。如果你选择撤回邮件——当然是在限定时间内——你的屏幕会跳转到原始邮件的界面，你可以选择删除或者重新编辑。

　　Previously³, the feature was available only to Gmail users who decided⁴ to enable the Labs function -- or, as Google says, "brave the Labs world." It's now a permanent Gmail function.

　　之前，这个功能仅应用于那些决定使用实验室功能的人——或者，如谷歌所说，“勇战实验世界”的人。现在这成为了Gmail的永久功能。

　　The feature is available on most accounts that use Google Mail, but not yet all corporate⁵ accounts.

　　这项功能适用于谷歌邮箱的大多数账号，但暂时不适用于公司账号。
