jìn rì近日,zhōng guó中国yī一kuǎn款míng wèi名为“sǐ le me死了么”de的shǒu jī手机yìng yòng ruǎn jiàn应用软件chéng wéi成为le了wǎng shàng网上de的rè mén热门huà tí话题。

Recently, a Chinese mobile app called 'Are You Dead?' has become a hot topic online.

zhè这kuǎn款Appzài在píng guǒ苹果yìng yòng应用shāng diàn商店de的fù fèi付费bǎng dān榜单shàng上pái排dào到le了dì yì míng第一名。

This app ranked first on the paid apps chart in the Apple App Store.

zhè这kuǎn款Appde的gōng néng功能fēi cháng非常jiǎn dān简单,zhǔ yào主要shì是wèi le为了“dú jū独居rén qún人群”shè jì设计de的ān quán安全gōng jù工具。

The app's function is very simple; it is mainly designed as a safety tool for people living alone.

yòng hù用户xià zài下载hòu后,xū yào需要shè zhì设置yī wèi一位jǐn jí紧急lián xì rén联系人,bìng并měi tiān每天zài在Applǐ里“qiān dào签到”。

After downloading, users need to set an emergency contact and 'check in' daily within the app.

rú guǒ如果yòng hù用户lián xù连续liǎng两tiān天méi yǒu没有qiān dào签到,xì tǒng系统jiù就huì会zài在dì第sān三tiān天zì dòng自动gěi给jǐn jí紧急lián xì rén联系人fā发yóu jiàn邮件,tí xǐng提醒duì fāng对方guān zhù关注yòng hù用户de的qíng kuàng情况。

If a user fails to check in for two consecutive days, the system will automatically send an email to the emergency contact on the third day to alert them to check on the user.

kāi fā开发zhè ge这个Appde的tuán duì团队zhǐ yǒu只有sān三gè rén个人,dōu都shì是“95 hòu95后”。

The team that developed this app consists of only three people, all born after 1995.

tā men他们biǎo shì表示,xiàn zài现在dà chéng shì大城市lǐ里yǒu有hěn很duō多dú jū独居nián qīng rén年轻人,rú guǒ如果yí gè一个rén人zài在jiā家fā shēng发生yì wài意外,kě néng可能méi没rén人zhī dào知道。

They said that many young people live alone in big cities nowadays, and if something happens to them at home, no one might know.

wèi le为了jiě jué解决zhè ge这个shè huì社会wèn tí问题,tā men他们kāi fā开发le了zhè这kuǎn款qīng liàng huà轻量化de的ruǎn jiàn软件。

To address this social issue, they developed this lightweight software.

jù据liǎo jiě了解,zhè这kuǎn款Appde的kāi fā开发chéng běn成本zhǐ yǒu只有1000 duō yuán1000多元rén mín bì人民币。

It is reported that the development cost of this app was only a little over 1,000 yuan RMB.

guān yú关于ruǎn jiàn软件de的míng zì名字,wǎng shàng网上yǒu有hěn很duō多tǎo lùn讨论。

There has been much discussion online about the app's name.

yǒu xiē有些rén人jué de觉得“sǐ死le了me么”zhè ge这个míng zì名字tīng qǐ lái听起来bù jí lì不吉利,jiàn yì建议gǎi chéng改成“huó zhe活着me么”。

Some people feel that the name 'Are You Dead?' sounds unlucky and suggest changing it to 'Are You Alive?'.

dàn但kāi fā zhě开发者rèn wéi认为,sǐ wáng死亡shì是měi gè rén每个人dōu都yào要miàn duì面对de的shì事,zhèng shì正视sǐ wáng死亡kě yǐ可以ràng让rén人gèng更hǎo好dì地miàn duì面对dāng xià当下de的shēng huó生活。

However, the developers believe that death is something everyone must face, and confronting death can help people better appreciate life.

mù qián目前,suí zhe随着xià zài liàng下载量de的dà liàng大量zēng jiā增加,zhè这kuǎn款Appyǐ jīng已经kāi shǐ开始yíng lì盈利。

Currently, with a large increase in downloads, the app has started to make a profit.

kāi fā zhě开发者jì huà计划wèi lái未来zēng jiā增加duǎn xìn短信tōng zhī通知gōng néng功能,bìng并xī wàng希望xī yǐn吸引gèng更duō多de的tóu zī投资lái来wán shàn完善fú wù服务。

The developers plan to add SMS notification features in the future and hope to attract more investment to improve the service.

zhè ge这个Appde的liú xíng流行,fǎn yìng反映le了xiàn dài现代shè huì社会zhōng中rén men人们duì对dú jū独居ān quán wèn tí安全问题de的guān zhù关注,yě也yǐn fā引发le了dà jiā大家duì对shēng mìng生命hé和sǐ wáng死亡de的sī kǎo思考。

The popularity of this app reflects people's concern about safety for those living alone in modern society and also sparks reflection on life and death.
