无论一款手机配置了多少功能，人们总是会问同一个问题：这款手机有几个颜色？人们想让手机看起来与众不同，这确实不足为奇。他们每天、每时、每刻都把手机带在身上，而他们的智能手机却几乎和别人手上的毫无二致。
No matter how many features come loaded on a phone, people always ask: Does it come in different colors?
Moto X─这款即将推出的合约价为200美元（约合人民币1,220元）的手机─出自谷歌(Google)旗下的摩托罗拉移动公司(Motorola Mobility)。通过将定制化作为主打特色，这款机型致力于打破手机外型雷同的现状。在购买Moto X的时候，商家会鼓励你体验MotoMaker.com的定制流程。MotoMaker.com是一个在线工作室，在那里每部Moto X手机都可以被设计成用户喜爱的独一无二的样式。并且，这项手机的定制服务是免费的。
It's no wonder people are trying to differentiate. They carry these gadgets with them all day, every day, and their smartphones look almost exactly like the ones held by everyone else around them.
手机定制包括从18种背板颜色、七种搭配颜色和两种正面颜色中做出选择。手机背板上能够刻写用户指定的个性化信息。你还可以在黑色或白色的充电器中任选其一。此外，你能够用你的谷歌账号(Google ID)对手机进行预设，选用16张 纸（由制造商依据手机颜色而设置）中的一张，并可以设置开机时出现在屏幕上的信息。除此之外，你还可以在16G或32G的手机存储空间中做出选择（选择32G版需要格外支付50美元，约合人民币306元）。
Moto X, the $200 phone coming soon from Google GOOG -0.93% -owned Motorola Mobility, aims to change that by using personalization as one of its key components. When buying a Moto X, you are encouraged to walk through steps on MotoMaker.com, an online studio where each phone can be uniquely designed to look exactly how you'd like it to look. And the phone personalization is free.
摩托罗拉移动公司正计划于今年年底前，在Moto Maker上添加四种木质手机背板（柚木、花梨木、竹木和乌木）以供选择，用户选择木质背板需要额外付费。你还可以挑选手机配件，比如配套的耳机或手机壳（共有九种颜色），这些也需要额外付费。
This includes choosing from one of 18 back colors, seven accent colors and two front colors. The phone can be inscribed with a custom message on the back. You can choose a black or white charger. And you can preset the phone with your Google ID, one of 16 wallpapers (suggested to match your phone's colors) and a custom message that appears when you turn the phone on. It can be sent to you loaded with 16 or 32 gigabytes of storage (a 32-GB device costs $50 more).
通过美国电话电报公司(AT&T)发售的Moto X手机将支持Moto Maker上的所有定制选项。但是，通过Verizon、Sprint、T-Mobile和US Cellular发售的Moto X手机则只有黑白两色，至少在发售之初是如此。美国电话电报公司将在不确定的时间段内独家享有在Moto Maker上的销售权，不过Verizon宣布，该公司将在年底前让其用户实现在Moto Maker上的手机定制。
Motorola MSI +0.53% Mobility is exploring adding four wooden-back options (teak, rosewood, bamboo and ebony) to Moto Maker by the end of this year and these will cost extra. You can also select accessories, like a matching set of headphones or a case in one of nine colors, also at extra cost.
我使用Moto Maker定制了一款薄荷绿色背板、黑色正面和亮黄色为配色的Moto X手机。我选择了白色的充电器以搭配我卧室的地板颜色，因为我每天晚上都在卧室给手机充电。我还选择了薄荷绿色的入耳式耳机，它的颜色正好搭配我的手机。我在手机背板上刻上了我的名字，并且用我的谷歌账户信息对手机进行了预设，所以，当我从包装里把Moto X拿出来的时候，它就是那部属于我的手机。
Moto X will launch on AT&T T -0.53% with all the customization options of Moto Maker. Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular will only have black or white phones, at least to start. AT&T will retain the exclusive rights to Moto Maker for an unspecified period, though Verizon announced that it will offer use of Moto Maker to its customers by the end of the year.
手机定制在线工作室的用户体验令人愉悦。网站将手机定制划分成了四个步骤，并将这一定制过程称作"定制你的手机"，在整个过程中你都可以前进或后退到其他步骤对自己的选择进行调整。每当你做出调整，页面就会明确地显示出你需要支付的费用和手机送货上门所需的天数。
I used Moto Maker to make a phone with a spearmint-green back, metallic-yellow accents and a black front. I chose a white wall charger to match the floorboards in my bedroom where I plug in my phone each night, and chose spearmint in-ear headphones that would match the phone when I used them. I set it up with my name inscribed on the back and my Google account information, so it would arrive feeling like mine, out of the box.
摩托罗拉移动公司承诺，从你递交订单的那一刻起到你最终收到手机，你等待的时间不会超过四天。该公司能够做出这样的承诺是因为，Moto X是在德克萨斯州的沃斯堡(Fort Worth)，而不是在亚洲进行组装的，尽管这款手机很多的零部件都来自于亚洲国家。
The online studio where phones are built is a delight to use. It breaks down the personalization steps into four categories labeled 'Make It Yours,' and lets you skip forward or back throughout the creation process to quickly change your mind as you go. Every screen clearly displays how much the phone will cost and how long it will take to ship to you.
想要体验Moto Maker的消费者必须要等到8月底或9月初，直到那时Moto X手机才会开始发售，与此同时，在其他电信商开通定制工作室的业务前，想要体验Moto Maker的消费者还必须是美国电话电报公司的客户。
Motorola Mobility vows to ship your phone to you in four days or less, from the minute you submit your order to when you see the package arrive at your door. The company is able to do this because it is assembling phones in Fort Worth, Texas, rather than Asia, though plenty of the phone's parts come from Asian countries.
如果你对Moto X的各种实物颜色感到好奇，你可以到美国电话电报公司的网点查看样品。在美国电话电报公司的网点内，当你确定手机内存的大小（16G或32G）、选好手机月度合约的种类并付款后，你就能得到Moto X的兑换卡。刮开卡片的刮层有一个密码，凭借这个密码你可以登陆Motorola.com/designit。如果你收到手机后并不满意，你可以在14日内免费退货。
People who want to try Moto Maker will have to wait until the Moto X phone is available in late August or early September, and they must be AT&T customers, at least until other carriers get access to this design studio.
如果你在网点查看样品后发现自己喜欢更为低调的黑白色设计，那么你在店内就可以买到你青睐的Moto X，但店内出售的Moto X无法提供背板刻字或颜色定制服务。
If you're curious about how the Moto X colors look in person, AT&T stores stock samples. There, you can buy a Moto X redemption card, which you'll pay for in the store after selecting the phone's 16- or 32-gigabyte storage size and setting up a monthly plan. The card has a scratch-off PIN, which you'll enter at Motorola.com/designit. If you receive the phone and don't like its looks, you can return it free within 14 days.
如果你不想去电信商网点，MotoMaker.com将引导你一步步地选定手机合约或请你输入现有手机合约的细节，最后网站会指示你输入支付信息。
If you get to the store and find that you like a plainer black or white design, those will be available for purchase on the spot, without any inscription on the back or personalized colors.
Moto X手机软件的某些功能也能根据你的要求特别定制，这款手机使用的是安卓果冻豆(Android Jelly Bean) 4.2操作系统，而不是最新的4.3操作系统。例如，该款手机的"非触摸式控制"(Touchless Control)功能可以通过语音激活来执行任务，但是这项功能只有经过初始训练步骤后才能识别你的声音。这意味着，如果别人拿起你的手机并试图使用语音控制指令，你的手机不会响应他/她的要求。Moto X的另一项个性化功能就是"摩托罗拉助手"(Motorola Assist)，这项功能可以让你设定你选择接听的电话和选择过滤掉的电话，比如，它能够在你开会期间屏蔽除你伴侣以外其他人打来的电话。
To avoid the store altogether, MotoMaker.com will walk you through steps to select a cellular plan or ask you to enter details about your existing plan, and then prompt you to enter billing information.
对于那些想让自己的手机在千篇一律的手机汪洋中脱颍而出的人，Moto Maker非常具有吸引力。它就像一阵清风，使购买智能手机第一次变成了一件有趣的事情。
