>> 当初，这听起来像一个好主意。中国东部江西省省会南昌市要求网吧经营者使用红旗Linux或Windows
>> 服务器的合法拷贝，以取代盗版的服务器软件。这有什么不同吗？据估计，中国软件盗版率为82％。让企业走正道使用中国本地Linux
>> 对我来说就像赢得一场比赛。直到我发现红旗Linux的标价是：5000元即725美元为止。那远远超过一家小型中国企业的界线。

>> Nanchang has about 600 Internet cafes for its approximately 4-million
>> citizens. In China, for most people, Internet cafes are still the way they

>> Lenovo<http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/>and many other PC vendors, but you're

>> most homes.
>>
>> 南昌大约有600家网吧服务近四百万市民。在中国，对于大多数人来说，网吧仍然是他们用来连接互联网的方式。虽然联想集团和许多其他PC
>> 厂商的产地就在中国，但别想在大多数家庭中找到电脑和宽带。
>>
>> That said, no one's getting rich from the Internet cafes. They're small
>> mom
>> and pop businesses. They can't afford $725 for an operating system and
>> they're letting the officials know about it. Unfortunately, it's not doing
>> much good. One said, "When you talk to officials from the Culture
>> Department, they tell you, 'If you're willing to pay, pay; if not, you

>> 据说，没有人从网吧致富。这些小企业是家庭作坊。他们付不起725
>> 美元购买操作系统，而且他们正在让官员了解这一点。遗憾的是，没有多少效果。有一位说，"当你和文化部门的官员谈论时，他们告诉你，'如果你愿意付钱，就给；不然，你可以选择不付钱。'听到那样的话，心都变冷。我们真的无法赚钱过日子。"换句话说，不是付钱营业，就是关门大吉。

>> Why not use another Linux? The local Culture Department, which is in

>>
>> 为什么不用其他的Linux？当地负责这一新举措的文化部门不愿接受其他Linux发行版。就事论事，似乎他们也不相信网吧业主坚称他们拥有合法的
>> Windows拷贝。
>>
>> This sounds to me like a straight-forward shakedown. I have no doubt that

>>
>> 对我来说，这听起来简直就是敲诈。我毫不怀疑，许多网吧正在使用非法软件。这就是说，政府应该让他们去选择一个负担得起费用而且合法的Linux

>>
>> Linux is a winning operating system because it's a great, affordable

>> Linux是一个得人欢心的操作系统，因为它是一个伟大的、负担得起的选择。强迫人们接受高价是没有办法赢得朋友、或者让他们与Linux更好相处。
