博物馆需要很多的东西,比如售货机和影印资料。这些东西都不简单,参观者都需要。没有钱的话,这些东西没法弄。最重要的是,通过这些东西,学生可以学到很多科学知识和原理。这就是为什么博物馆不能免费。
My: Museums need many things, such as vending machines and photocopies. None of these things is simple and visitors need them. These things can't be done without money. Most importantly, through these things, students can learn a lot of scientific knowledge and principles. That's why museums can't be free.

That's why people need to pay admission fees with regular prices.
