尴尬！华为用iPhone手机误发新年推文秒删，员工被罚

Two Huawei employees who sent a message from the Chinese telecom firm’s Twitter account using an iPhone device have been punished, a memo says.

一份备忘录称，两名华为员工使用iPhone设备在公司的推特帐户发布消息而受到了惩罚。

The tweet, posted on New Year’s Day, wished followers a "Happy #2019" while displaying "via Twitter for iPhone".

Chinese companies have been trying to steer employees toward Huawei products and away from US rival Apple.

中国企业一直在努力引导员工使用华为产品，远离美国竞争对手苹果。

Last year, Huawei overtook Apple in the number of handsets shipped worldwide, making it second only to Samsung.

去年，华为在全球出货手机数量上超过苹果，仅次于三星。

On Friday, a report by Reuters news agency - citing an internal company memo - said that the Huawei staff involved in the Twitter blunder had been demoted and would be receiving reduced salaries.

上周五，《路透社》报道，一份公司内部备忘录的报道称，涉及推特失误的华为员工已被降职，并被扣工资。

The new year message was quickly removed from Huawei’s official Twitter feed but was shared by users of the social media site.

这条新年贺语很快从华为的官方推特中删除，但社交媒体网站的用户已经截图并分享出去了。

The memo said the incident, which was linked to "VPN problems" with a desktop computer, had "caused damage to the Huawei brand", Reuters reported.

据《路透社》报道，该备忘录称，这起与台式电脑“VPN问题”有关的事件“对华为品牌造成了损害”。

China blocks access to many foreign websites, including Twitter, although many people circumvent the firewall by using virtual private networks.

中国阻止了许多外国网站的访问，包括推特，但尽管如此，许多人还是通过使用虚拟专用网络绕过防火墙访问这些网站。
