VOA英语学习，这里是科技报道。
Facebook and other social media sites are free for everyone. But a new social media site promises to be more exclusive by only permitting people who are rich to join. The site is called Netropolitan. To join, users must pay $9,000. This includes a $6,000 entry fee plus $3,000 for the yearly membership fee.
脸书以及其它的社交媒体网站对任何人都是免费的。但是一个新的社交网站承诺更排外，只允许富人加入。这个网站叫那不勒斯。想要加入，使用人必须支付9000美元，其中包括6000美元加入费，还有每年3000美元的会员费。
James Touchi-Peters is the founder of Netropolitan. He is a composer and orchestra conductor from the eastern American state of New York. He says he believes there is a need and an audience for this service. He says he had trouble finding people like him on other social sites.
詹姆斯·塔奇·皮特是那不勒斯网站的创始人。他是来自位美国纽约东部的作曲家和乐队指挥。他说他相信这项服务有需求人群。他表示在其他社交网站上很难找到像他那样的人。
He says Netropolitan is a place where rich people can talk about what he calls "the finer things in life." In his words, "Netropolitan is an online country club focused on connecting members around the world." He says it is "for people with more money than time."
他说在那不勒斯，富人可以谈论他称之为“生活中美好的事情”。用他的话说：“那不勒斯是一个在线的国家俱乐部，关注于把世界各地的会员联系起来。”这是为拥有金钱多于时间的人准备的。
Unlike Facebook, everything on Netropolitan is private. The site is not included -- or indexed -- by search engines like Google or Bing. Non-members can only see the log-in screen when they visit the site. Information to and from the site is hidden, or encrypted. This gives the site's members even more privacy.
与脸书不同，那不勒斯上得任何东西都是私人的。这个网站用搜索引擎谷歌或者必应没办法涵括或者检索到。非成员在访问网站的时候只能看到登陆界面。网站的登陆信息是隐藏的或者说是加密的。这给网站的会员更多私人空间。
Netropolitan does not have any advertising. And it will employ monitors to prevent bad behavior. Members must be 21 or older. And they must use their real names and addresses to register. Once they have registered, members can do things like create groups and join discussions on the site.
那不勒斯网站没有任何广告，雇用监督员来阻止不良行为。会员年龄必须至少21岁。他们必须使用自己的真实姓名和地址进行注册。一旦注册成功，会员可以创建群组，加入网站讨论中。
Mr. Touchi-Peters has not said how big he hopes the site's membership will grow. And he has not said how many members the site has. He does say it has a small group of "pre-qualified members."
詹姆斯·皮特先生没有说他希望网站会员人数会增加到多少。他也没有说网站有多少会员，只是说现在有一小组“预获资格的会员”。
The website says it "will never publicly state the exact number of members in the club. And especially, we will NEVER release or verify the identity of any of our members -- ever."
网站表示：“永远不会在俱乐部里公开会员的确切数目。特别是我们不会泄露或者核实任何会员的身份信息。”
