Google Cast is the gold standard for streaming content from your phone to speakers, TVs, and more, but something that Amazon has refused adding to its devices and services. So instead, it created its own.
Google Cast是将内容从手机流到扬声器，电视等的黄金标准，但是亚马逊拒绝将其添加到其设备和服务中。 因此，它创建了自己的。
The aptly-named Alexa Cast is Amazon’s solution here, though it’s initial implementation is very limited—it only works on Alexa products (Echo, third-party Alexa speakers, and Fire devices) and with Amazon’s own music app. So, at least for the current time, it doesn’t support anything other than audio streaming.
命名恰当的Alexa Cast是Amazon在这里的解决方案，尽管它的最初实现非常有限-它仅适用于Alexa产品(Echo，第三方Alexa扬声器和Fire设备)以及亚马逊自己的音乐应用。 因此，至少在当前时间，它不支持音频流以外的任何功能。
While it’s not a true Google Cast competitor for the Alexa space yet, it’s a nice start. This will allow Alexa users to start music on their phone, seamlessly transfer it to a compatible Alexa-enabled device, then move it back to the phone.
虽然它不是对Alexa的空间真正的谷歌演员的竞争对手还没有，这是一个不错的开始。 这将使Alexa用户可以在手机上开始音乐，然后将其无缝传输到兼容的支持Alexa的设备，然后再将其移回手机。
It’s unclear where Alexa Cast will go from here, but one can speculate that Amazon intends on building a full Google Cast competitor for its own ecosystem. Just one more thing to add to the long list in Google and Amazon’s quarrel with each other.
目前尚不清楚Alexa Cast将从何处去，但人们可以推测，亚马逊打算为自己的生态系统打造一个完整的Google Cast竞争对手。 谷歌和亚马逊之间的争吵又增加了一长串。
According to Jacob Kastrenakes at the Verge, Amazon has more plans for Alexa Cast, it’s just not telling right now:
根据濒临边缘的雅各布·卡斯特雷纳克斯(Jacob Kastrenakes)的说法，亚马逊为Alexa Cast提供了更多计划，但现在还没有告诉我们：
Amazon hasn’t announced any details yet about where Alexa Cast will go next. So there’s no word on whether third-party apps, like Spotify, will be able to add this feature. “We’ll continue to improve this feature and expand support over time,” a spokesperson told The Verge in an email.
亚马逊尚未宣布有关Alexa Cast下一步发展的任何细节。 因此，尚无定论第三方应用程序(如Spotify)是否能够添加此功能。 发言人在一封电子邮件中对The Verge表示： “随着时间的推移，我们将继续改进此功能并扩大支持范围。”
Amazon will be updated its Music app for iOS and Android today with an Alexa Cast button on the Now Playing screen.
亚马逊今天将通过“正在播放”屏幕上的Alexa Cast按钮更新其iOS和Android音乐应用程序。
