A pregnant woman got a $74 fine for walking the wrong way in the Paris Metro. The woman took a shortcut to save time on her journey. A station inspector caught her and immediately fined her. A Metro spokesman said the woman correctly got a fine for not following rules. He said the rules are so everyone can quickly get to trains or out of stations. He added that there are many easy-to-see "walk this way" signs in the stations.

임산부가 파리 지하철의 일방통행을 걷었단 이유로 74$의 벌금을 물었다. 그녀는 여행길에 시간을 아끼기 위해 지름길로 갔다.역무원은 그녀를 잡고 즉시 벌금을 부과했다. 지하철 대변인은 그녀가 분명히 룰을 지키지 않은 위반을 했다고 말했다. 그는 그것이 모든 사람들이 빠르게 기차를 타거나 역으로 나가는 것을 도와주는 룰이라고 말했다. 그는 덧붙여 역에는 쉽게 눈에 띄는 "일방 통행" 이라는 표지판도 많고 첨언했다.

Many social media users are angry that a pregnant woman got fined. A passenger group said it was "completely stupid". It wants the rules to change. A woman shared a similar story. She said: "I was the only person in the corridor when they stopped me." The Metro wrote: "I am sorry that this situation surprises you, but these are the current regulations. In the same way that if a car drives in a prohibited area, the car's driver...receives a fine."

많은 소셜 미디어의 사용자들은 임산부에게 벌금을 물었다는 것에 화가났다. 보행자들은 "아주 멍청한 짓"이라고 말했다. 그들은 그 룰이 바뀌길 바란다. 한 여자는 비슷한 이야기를 공유했다. "그들이 나를 세웠을 때 난 복도 끝에 있는 유일한 사람이었다" 라고 말했다. 메트로 관계자는 "이 상황이 당신을 놀라게 한 것에 대해 매우 유감이지만, 이것이 지금의 규칙이다. 마찬가지로 금지된 지역에서 차를 운전하면, 운전자도 ... 벌금을 받는다."

The online company Airbnb is moving into the luxury travel market. Its new business model will try to attract richer people. It will offer new places to stay, like vacation homes and boutique hotels. Airbnb offers over four million rooms in 191 countries. It has had over 260 million reservations since it started nine years ago. It wants to increase this to more than one billion by 2028. The CEO said Airbnb is still an "alternative". He wants it to be for everyone.

온라인 회사 Airbnb는 럭셔리 여행 시장에 뛰어들었다. 새로운 비지니스 모델은 부유층에 시선을 끌도록 노력할 것이다. 그것은 별장이나 부티크 호텔 같은 새로운 장소를 제공할 것이다. Airbnb는 191 나라에 4백만 이상의 방을 제공한다. 서비스를 시작한 9년전부터 2.6 억 이상의 예약이 되고 있다. 2028년까지 10억 이상의 예약으로 증가되길 바란다. CEO는 Airbnb는 아직 "대안" 이라고 말했다. 그는 Airbnb가 모든사람을 위한 것이 되길 원한다.

Airbnb does not own any properties. It is a broker between property owners who want to rent out their homes, and travelers looking for different places to stay. The company makes money from booking fees. It will also offer adventure travel and "unique spaces," like yurts - the large, round tents in which many people in Mongolia live. Airbnb's new "Beyond" option will offer travelers "full-on luxury stays" that include "some of the world's nicest homes".

Airbnb는 어떤 자산도 가지고 있지 않다. 집을 렌트하길 원하는 집주인과 머물 장소를 찾는 여행객 사이의 중개자이다. 회사는 예약 수수료로 돈을 번다. 또한 모험적인 여행과 요르트(몽골리아에 많은 사람들이 사는 크고 둥근 텐트) 같은 독특한 장소를 제공한다. Airbnb의 새로운 "Beyond" 옵션은 여행객들에게 세계에서 가장 멋진 집을 포함한 "최대 럭셔리 스테이" 를 제공 할 것이다.
