audience的用法

1. 表示“聽(tīng)眾”、“觀(guān)眾”,是集合名詞,用作主語(yǔ)時(shí),其謂語(yǔ)可用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)。如:

The audience is [are]listening attentively. 聽(tīng)眾都在聚精會(huì)神地聽(tīng)著。

The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 觀(guān)眾對(duì)演出非常欣賞。

有時(shí)由于語(yǔ)義的需要,分別用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)更合適。如:

The audience was enormous. 觀(guān)眾人很多。

The audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 觀(guān)眾要在八點(diǎn)前都入座。

2. 形容聽(tīng)眾人數(shù)之多或少,通常用 large, small, crowded, thin等形容詞修飾audience。如:

Her lecture had a crowded audience. 她的演講擠滿(mǎn)了聽(tīng)眾。
