你知道咖啡館精神嗎?

So the spirit of those 17th century coffee houses has disappeared then? No more lively debate and intellectual discussion?所以17世紀咖啡館的精神已經消失了?沒有熱烈的辯論和學術討論了?It seems so, Rob。 As Douglas Fraser says, many people sit alone plugged into their laptops。 And they’re all doing different things – working, writing, messing about on social media。看起來是這樣的,羅伯。正如道格拉斯弗雷澤所說,一些人獨自坐著沉浸於他們的手提電腦中。他們做著不同的事情,工作,創作,在社交媒體上閒逛。I think the café owners should turn off the free wifi and force these café squatters to move on! I don’t think people should be allowed to sit all day using the internet, hogging tables and not talking to anybody! Especially when some of them don’t even buy a coffee!我認為咖啡館老闆應該關閉免費無線網並強制那些蹭咖啡館資源的人的離開。我不認為應該允許人們整天坐著上網,佔用著桌子並且不和任何人交談。特別是他們中的一些人甚至連一杯咖啡都不買。

That’s a bit extreme, Rob。 Café owners need customers, and they encourage people to stay by having comfy sofas and newspapers to read and the free wifi! A squatter, by the way, is someone who lives in an empty building without paying rent。 And if you hog something you use most or all of it in a selfish way。那就有點極端了,羅伯。咖啡館老闆需要顧客並且他們透過提供舒適的沙發,報紙以及免費無線網來讓顧客留下來。順便提一下,squatter指的是那些住在空置的房屋中不用交房租的人。而且如果說你hog某些東西,指的是你自私地使用這個東西的大部分或者所有。

I suppose you’re right, Catherine。 Now, how about telling us the answer to today’s question then?我猜你是對的,凱瑟琳。現在告訴我們今天問題的答案怎麼樣?
