词语用法

1. 从严格意义上来说，audience多指“听众”，并无“观众”的意思，不过习惯上常将其做“观众”的意思；
2. audience和audition均可表示“某种正式的场合”。一般来说，audience指得是国家领导人或是名流人物就商业事务上的会见，而audition则是指制作人或经理人给一个有抱负的演员的试镜机会。

n. (名词)

1. audience的基本意思是“观众,听众”。当视其为一个群体而强调整体时,谓语动词要用单数; 但如果强调每个人相对的独立性时,谓语动词就要用复数形式。audience有时引申可指代场所,表示“观众席”; 也可作“与统治者〔要人〕的正式会见”“谒见”解,此时是可数名词; 还可作“爱好者,支持者”“读者,读者大众”解。
2. audience用于贬义时,用it或its代指; 没有贬义时,则往往用they, them或their代指。
3. audience前可用形容词large, small, big, huge等词来修饰,以表达听〔观〕众的多少。

词源解说

• ☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自古法语的audience；最初源自拉丁语的audentia，意为听。
