　　Vancouver is thinking about providing a Wi-Fi network for the downtown area. The city hasn't decided yet, but the network will probably be free. What do you think of the idea? Post your comment !

　　温哥华正考虑在市区提供Wi-Fi网络服务。关于是否提供还没有决定，但是网络提供之后会是免费的。你觉得这个想法怎么样？说出你的想法吧！

　　It's a good idea-but I'm sure it won't be free. Other cities have already tried it and it hasn't stayed free. Most of them charge about $10 a month. But people are happy to pay because then they can use Wi-Fi in their gardens or in Wi-Fi elevators. I've already said this, but I'Il say it again. Wi-Fi is a good idea , but I've never heard of a city where it's stayed free for very long.

　　这是一个很好的想法-但我不确定未来是不是会免费。其他城市已经开始尝试了，但是也没有一直免费。多数需要支付10加拿大元的费用。但是很多人也很愿意去支付是因为他们可以在他们的花园或者在有Wi-Fi的电梯中使用。我已经说过了，但我还要再说一次。Wi-Fi是一个很好的想法，但是我还没听过哪个城市能一直提供免费的Wi-Fi。

　　I've just read Mike's post. Incredible! I don't want to write mails from an elevator or my garden! I think this is going too far. There are other things the city government could spend the money on, aren't there? - for example , more sidewalks or a better bus system.

　　我刚刚读了Mike的评论。太赞了！我不想在花园里或者是电梯里面写邮件！我觉得这个太过分了！市政府应该把钱投入其他项目上，不是吗？举个例子，开设更多的人行横道或者是一个更好的公共交通系统。

　　I agree with Anna. A lot of people have already bought Wi-Fi for their homes-they don't need it in the street, do they? Spend the money on other things, things for teenagers! The city hasn't built enough schools or parks yet.

　　我同意Anna的说法。现在很多人已经在家里安装了Wi-Fi，他们不太需要在外面使用Wi-Fi了，不是吗？把钱投入到其他事情上，关于青少年的事情上！这个城市还没有建立起足够的学校和公园。
