Tencent launches WeChat 'mini apps'

 本来几个人组了个口语小组，兴冲冲地感觉提高很多。
 但现在大家都在忙自己的事，说好的视频练习似乎不了了之。
 有点失望。被打击了。

   上海万青咨询公司的CEO卢真王说：
   “小程序的发布解决了一些由应有程序引发的问题，
   但这并不会取代苹果应用商店或者安卓市场。”
   

• "Some 'lightweight' apps, which possess fewer functions and more simple algorithms, and apps that are not commonly used, are more suitable as WeChat's mini apps. However, the commonly used ones should still be downloaded to your phone," Lu added.
  

  
   "一些提供服务较少且只需简单算法轻量级的应用，使用频率较少，
   比较适合运作在微信小程序上。
   但对于那些被用户经常使用的应用程序，仍然会被下载到手机上。”
