Google is rolling out free wifi in New York as part of a trial the company hopes will eventually span across the whole of the world.
目前,谷歌向紐約全市提供免費(fèi)公共WiFi,而這只是試水,谷歌意圖將該計(jì)劃覆蓋全球。

The internet giant has even gone as far as to set up a company specifically dedicated to the task, called Sidewalk Labs.
這家互聯(lián)網(wǎng)巨頭為了完成這一計(jì)劃甚至還成立了專(zhuān)門(mén)的公司,名字就叫人行道實(shí)驗(yàn)室(Sidewalk Labs)。

How will they do this you ask – through turning 10,000 of the big apple’s old phone booths into ad-supported ‘Wi-Fi pylons’.
你或許會(huì)問(wèn),谷歌要如何完成這一計(jì)劃?他們的做法是把紐約市里多達(dá)1萬(wàn)個(gè)的老舊電話亭改裝成帶數(shù)字面板和大型廣告牌的“柱子”,這些“柱子”將為附近一定范圍內(nèi)的區(qū)域提供免費(fèi)WiFi。

These converted booths are also intended to provide cell-phone charging, free domestic phone calls and a touch screen information hub about the city and transit directions.
這些改裝后的“柱子”,其功能還包括免費(fèi)手機(jī)充電、撥打市內(nèi)電話、上網(wǎng),以及獲取本地服務(wù)和信息等。

According to Bloomberg News, these ‘pylons’ will be rolled out across New York this autumn.
根據(jù)彭博社新聞報(bào)道,這些“柱子”將于今秋入駐紐約全市。
