English term

match it up with

English to Chinese Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) cloud service
Buying music once and using it virtually everywhere is cool, and I'm honestly astounded that Apple has apparently gotten all its music partners to agree to let iTunes members have the same music collection across up to 10 devices. The bigger news, though, was Steve Jobs' famous "one more thing" reveal at WWDC.Now iTunes Match will take all that music you ripped off your old CD collection and ***match it up with*** Apple's 256kb, AAC, DRM-free music.
只需购买一次音乐,之后在几乎任何地方都能享用,这个想法很棒;苹果显然让其在音乐领域的所有合作伙伴都同意让iTunes的成员可以在多达10种设备上拥有同样的音乐库,老实说,我非常惊讶。不过更重大的新闻是,史蒂夫•乔布斯在全球开发者大会(WWDC)上透露的“还有一样东西”(注:乔布斯几乎在每次产品发布演讲末尾都要讲到这句话,也是大多数听众在发布会上最期待的一句话。)那就是在线音乐服务iTunes Match。现在,iTunes Match会拿过你从旧CD唱片库翻录过来的所有音乐,***与***苹果的256kb音质、AAC音频格式、不受DRM保护的音乐***进行比对***。
网上搜了一下,发现是说可以将翻录的音乐升级成256kb, AAC, DRM-free music。不知这里的match it up with是什么意思。

谢谢各位!

BTW, here’s the missing larger context. It is clear that we are not talking about guaranteed upgrades here, but instead of audio searches:

Ambrose Li Jun 10, 2011:
I am not sure about zh-CN, but in zh-TW, 匹配 is a simple match after performing a search. And this is exactly the case here: They will perform a search. If they find it, they give you what is most likely an upgrade (it need not be, if your own uploaded file is actually of higher quality); if they don’t, they give you what you’ve uploaded yourself. I don’t see anything wrong with 匹配 (unless, as you’ve indicated, this is not what it means in zh-CN). But in any case I don’t think “upgrade” is appropriate because upgrades are not guaranteed—they are conditional on finding a “match”.

"匹配" means "to pair up." That means having both stand together equally. It doesn't have the implication of adapting one in order to suit the other.

To match A UP with B as in the instance here has the implication of adapting (or changing) A in order to suit B. 

"Upgrade" might be a necessary process in order to match up with the Apple's new invention. IT IS OBVIOUS IN THE CONTEXT.

That's why I think 升级 may be a better option.
( Or: you can use "相合" or "符合":让你从旧CD唱片库翻录过来的所有音乐, 能和苹果的256kb音质、AAC音频格式、不受DRM保护的音乐相合。)

進行匹配好像沒有什麼問題

将你从旧CD唱片库翻录过来的所有音乐与苹果的256kb音质、AAC音频格式、不受DRM保护的音乐进行匹配?
clearwater (asker) Jun 9, 2011:
“升级”是查出来的,不是翻译出来的。
我想知道的是match it up with在这里的字面意思是什么。
jarv95888 Jun 9, 2011:
"Match it up with" means "配合"--to make it compatible with."
"进行比对" means only "compare."
I think the term "升级" you have found is a better choice.
