【英语学习】 第31天翻译练习之博物馆是否应当免费开放

Practice 373

博物馆需要很多的东西，比如售货机和影印资料。这些东西都不简单，参观者都需要。没有钱的话，这些东西没法弄。最重要的是，通过这些东西，学生可以学到很多科学知识和原理。这就是为什么博物馆不能免费。

My：
Museums need many things, such as vending machines and photocopies. None of these things is simple and visitors need them. These things can't be done without money. Most importantly, through these things, students can learn a lot of scientific knowledge and principles. That's why museums can't be free.

Teacher's:
Museums need lot of stuff such as vending machines and audiovisual materials. These kinds of machines are very complicated and benefit customers. These kinds of things cannot be run and developed without more budgets. Most of all, students can gain a variety of scientific knowledge and principles through them. That's why people need to pay admission fees with regular prices.
