No longer will we have to buy an?overpriced?coffee to get a?rubbish?wireless internet connection.
我們再也不用為了獲得渣速的無線互聯(lián)網連接而花錢買難喝的咖啡了。

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公共WiFi，而這只是試水，谷歌意圖將該計劃覆蓋全球。

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)網巨頭為了完成這一計劃甚至還成立了專門的公司，名字就叫人行道實驗室（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’.
你或許會問，谷歌要如何完成這一計劃？他們的做法是把紐約市里多達1萬個的老舊電話亭改裝成帶數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的區(qū)域提供免費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”，其功能還包括免費手機充電、撥打市內電話、上網，以及獲取本地服務和信息等。

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