　　There’s a growing chorus of complaints in society about the loud music late at night. If it’s near a mall or public square, there is no problem, but when it’s near apartment blocks and disturbs residents, it would be better if the government regulates it, just like in many western countries。

　　社会越来越多人抱怨晚上吵闹的音乐。我认为如果是在购物中心或者公共广场附近，那没有问题。但是如果是在住宅区附近，打扰到居民时，政府就应该出面管理一下，很多西方国家就是这样做的。

　　It’s a load of (mostly) older women getting together to do some exercise and, judging by the smiles on their faces, having a good time while they’re at it. I love cycling around a city and seeing people dancing. It’s fantastic. Long may it continue。

　　现在很多中老年(大部分是)妇女们聚在一起做锻炼，从她们脸上的笑容就能看出她们很享受。我喜欢骑自行车在城市里瞎转，看大家一起跳舞。感觉非常棒。希望广场舞可以继续跳下去。

　　I live in China, and find this a rather charming pastime. But there is a need for a restriction on the number of loudspeakers in a given area。

　　我住在中国，我认为广场舞是个非常有魅力的娱乐活动。但是一块区域的喇叭数量应有所限制。

　　Oh please. The dancing grannies are hardly out there all night long rocking out. Yes, it’s a little loud for about an hour somewhere between 7-9 pm. I absolutely love cruising around Shanghai on a nice evening and seeing all the ladies getting their groove on, such as it is. It’s a lovely aspect of life here。

　　拜托，这些跳舞大妈又没有一晚上都在嗨皮。的确，7点9点那会儿确实会有点吵。但我特别喜欢在舒服的傍晚绕着上海市瞎转悠，看见这些女士们开心地跳舞，虽然她们有时跳得并不好。这是这个城市生活中很有爱的一面。

　　I absolutely HATE it because I experienced it. They dance more than 10 hours a day everyday, often ’til midnight, on the ground of your apartment building with loud, noisy music. Is this kind of you life you want to live on daily basis? It becomes so infectious now in the cities throughout China. It’s time to have government step in to regulate it。

　　我真的很讨厌。广场舞，因为我经历过。她们在楼下一天能跳十个小时以上，经常会跳到深夜，音乐声很大，很吵。要是你，你愿意每天在这种环境中生活吗？现在广场舞在中国太泛滥了。政府是时候介入来管一管了。
