The EU says a unified charging cable will reduce e-waste and empower consumers to make more sustainable choices.

欧盟表示，统一的充电线将减少电子垃圾，并使消费者能够做出更可持续的选择。

Well, who needs an outlet when you can plug that charging cable directly into a watermelon?

那么，当您可以将充电线直接插入西瓜时，谁还需要插座呢？

The joke was that there'll be certain old guys who forgot the charging cable but didn't notice until Covid was over because they never actually switched their machines on.

开玩笑的是， 有些老家伙忘记了充电线， 但直到 Covid 结束才注意到， 因为他们从未真正打开过机器。

This is why the European Union wants to tackle the e-waste problem at the source, by establishing one standard charging cable for all phones, which will stop Apple using its iPhone lightning connector in the bloc.

这就是为什么欧盟希望从源头上解决电子垃圾问题，为所有手机建立一条标准充电线，这将阻止苹果在欧盟范围内使用其 iPhone 的闪电接口。
