A: The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail has announced that it will pilot a "silent cabin" service.

京沪高铁发布公告了, 将试点"静音车厢"服务。

(jīnɡhùɡāotiě fābù ɡōnɡɡàole, jiānɡshìdiǎn jìnɡyīnchēxiānɡ fúwù.)

B: Many people suggested that this service should be applied to all cars. Do you think that is necessary? 

不少人提出应该所有车厢推广这种服务, 你觉得有必要吗？

(bùshǎorén tíchū yīnɡɡāi suǒyǒu chēxiānɡ tuīɡuǎnɡ zhèzhǒnɡ fúwù, nǐjuéde yǒubìyàoma?)

A: It depends on which passengers need a quiet environment, they should not be treated all the same.

还是要看具体哪些乘客需要安静的环境吧。总不能一概而论。

(háishìyàokàn jùtǐ nǎxiē chénɡkè xūyào ānjìnɡde huánjìnɡbā. zǒnɡbùnénɡ yíɡàiérlùn.)

B: That makes sense. And passengers who are willing to abide by the regulations can choose a "silent cabin" when buying tickets. This service will be piloted as early as December 23.

有道理。而且愿意遵守相应行为规范的旅客, 购票时可自行选择"静音车厢", 这项服务最早于12月23日起开启试点。

可以根据试点的结果再具体实施。
