In January, British actor Eddie Redmayne made headlines around the world as he became the latest in a growing band of smartphone refuseniks.

今年1月，英国演员埃迪雷德梅因(Eddie Redmayne)成为全球头条资讯，因为他加入了人数越来越多的智能手机拒绝者的行列。

“It was a reaction against being glued permanently to my iPhone during waking hours,” he explained, turning instead to an old-fashioned “dumb phone” handset that could only make and take calls.

他解释说：“这是对于在清醒时刻与我的iPhone永远粘在一起的反应。”他转而使用只能接打电话的老式“傻瓜手机”。

He is not alone. There is a small but busy market for phones that are simple and cheap at a time when smartphones are becoming ever more complex and expensive.

他并非唯一这么做的人。在智能手机变得越来越复杂和昂贵之际，简单而廉价的手机拥有一个规模不大但颇为忙碌的市场。

Feature phones — handsets with some basic functions such as playing music and accessing the internet — are gradually being replaced by low cost smartphones, according to Francisco Jeronimo, research director for European mobile devices at IDC, the research group. But there is still a significant demand for older-style phones.

研究机构IDC的欧洲移动设备研究总监弗朗西斯科瀠坧尼莫(Francisco Jeronimo)表示，功能手机（具备一些基本功能的手机，例如播放音乐和上网）正逐渐被低价智能手机取代。但更老式的手机仍有可观需求。
