点评:We visited this afternoon to see Barnum and it was our first visit since the renovations. We sat in the front row of the circle and the show itself was excellent and well worth seeing. But WHY do people pay around £50 each to go to a performance only to sit there talking, fiddling with noisy plastic and kicking the seat in front of them. Perhaps the kids were bored and didn't want to be there but the adults with them should have more consideration and instil this upon their charges. Like other patrons , we pay good money in the hope of enjoying a show without the likes of inconsiderate people in the audience. There have been several reports in the media recently whereby actors have stopped the performances because of unruly members of the audience talking between themselves or on mobile phones, because they and the paying public are fed up with it, as are we and, no doubt, many others. Just go to a show, enjoy it and let others enjoy it, too - or - if you are not enjoying it , either shut up or leave.
翻译:我们今天下午去观看了巴纳姆的演出,这也是翻新后我们第一次去。我们坐在圆形剧场的前排,演出本身非常精彩,绝对值得一看。但是,为什么人们要花大约50英镑买票,结果却只是坐在那里闲聊、摆弄发出噪音的塑料玩具,还踢前排的座椅呢?也许孩子们觉得无聊、不想待在那里,但陪同他们的成年人本应更加体贴一些,并教导孩子也要这样做。和其他观众一样,我们花大价钱买票,就是希望能安心欣赏演出,而不希望周围有那些不懂礼貌的人。最近媒体上多有报道,称演员们因观众不守规矩、交头接耳或打电话而不得不中断演出;演员们以及其他付费观众都对此忍无可忍,我们当然也是如此,想必还有许多人同感。请安安静静地看演出吧,享受表演的同时也让别人能好好欣赏。要么——或者,如果你不喜欢,那就闭嘴或者离开。
