Gmail通讯录更新

We've heard from some of you that Gmail's auto-added contacts can lead to too much address book clutter. One of the advantages of automatically creating contacts is that all of the addresses you email subsequently show up in auto-complete. We wanted to preserve this benefit while giving you the ability to have a clean, uncluttered contact list, and we've come up with a solution that's rolling out this week. It separates your contacts into two groups: "My Contacts" and "Suggested Contacts."
我们从一些用户那里了解到Gmail的自动添加联系人会使通讯录变得非常的凌乱。自动创建联系人的好处是你经常发送邮件的地址会在自动完成里面全部显示出来。我们希望在保留自动完成的便利的同时提供干净而不凌乱的通讯录，这周我们想出了解决问题的办法。新的方案会把你的通讯录分成两组：我的通讯录和推荐联系人。


My Contacts contains the contacts you explicitly put in your address book (via manual entry, import or sync) as well as any address you've emailed a lot (we're using five or more times as the threshold for now).
我的通讯录包含你自己确认添加的联系人（手工输入的，导入的或者是同步的）还有你经常发邮件的联系人（目前这里的经常以五次或五次以上为门槛）。
Suggested Contacts is where Gmail puts its auto-created contacts. By default, Suggested Contacts you email frequently are automatically added to My Contacts, but for those of you who prefer tighter control of your address books, you can choose to disable usage-based addition of contacts to My Contacts (see the checkbox in the screenshot above). Once you do this, no matter how many times you email an auto-added email address it won't move to My Contacts.
推荐联系人是那些Gmail自动创建的联系人。在默认情况下你经常发邮件的推荐联系人会自动转到我的联系人里，想进一步控制自己通讯录的用户还可以关掉基于使用情况向我的通讯录添加联系人的功能（具体参看上面截图上的勾选框）。这样做之后无论你发多少邮件给自动创建的联系人，这个联系人都不会转到我的通讯录里。
We realize there's a lot more we can do to make Gmail contacts even more useful, but let us know what you think so far.
把Gmail的通讯录做的更好用我们还有很长的路要走，请让我们知道你有什么好的想法。
