Thousands of telecom and tech CEOs, vendors, suppliers government officials, reporters and gadgets junkies are descending on Fira Gran Via exhibition center in Barcelona this weekend for the start of Mobile World Congress.成千上万名电讯、科技公司首席执行长、零售商、供应商、政府官员、记者本周末齐聚巴萨罗那Fira Gran Via展出中心，参与全球移动大会(Mobile World Congress)，同时亮相的还有近期的电子产品。It may not have the cachet of the Consumer Electronics Show, held each January in Las Vegas. But MWC has over the years transformed itself--from largely a trade show for European telecom executives and telco suppliers, into a global showcase in its own right for gadgets and tech companies.全球移动大会有可能不像每年1月份在拉斯维加斯举办的消费电子产品展览(Consumer Electronics Show)那么出名，但是多年来它早已从欧洲电讯业高管和电讯供应商参与的贸易展览逐步改变为电子产品和科技公司展出自己的全球性舞台。Much of the shows new swagger comes thanks to the explosive intersection of computing and mobile devices in recent years. Underscoring its new position in the tech world, Facebook Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is giving one of the shows keynotes.全球移动大会近年来日益引人注目的主要原因是电脑和移动设备正在呈现出爆炸式的交融。

Oh, and 3,400 journalists.去年的移动大会更有了多达72,000人参与，还包括4,300名移动运营商、设备制造商和科技公司的首席执行长，还有1,700名参展商和3,400名记者。So what are the biggest things to watch?那么，最有一点注目的事件是什么呢？-- Samsungs new flagship: Samsung hosts its Unpacked event on Monday evening, where the company is expected to unveil its next Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone.三星电子(Samsung)的近期旗舰产品：该公司将在周一晚间举办公布仪式，预计将发售下一代Galaxy S5旗舰智能手机。--The future of Tizen: Samsung is also expected give its home-grown OS a leg up by offering its own Tizen-driven devices.
