Dear Ms Sanders,
I read in the newspaper today that you are to be① the architect for the new Bankstown cinema. I hope you will not mind me writing② to ask if you have thought about the needs of disabled customers. In particular I wonder if you have considered the following things:
“be+不定式”此处表
将来。
mind sb.doing sth.
“介意某人做某事。”
inparticular=particularly
尤其;特别
be particular about /over
对... 挑剔
specially 特意地; 专门地
1.Adequate(足够的) access(通路) for wheelchairs. It would be handy(方便的) to have lifts to all parts of the cinema.③ The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold, unattractive places. As disabled people have to use the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers.④
access n. 接近; 进入; 使用
access to 进入/到达…的通路/方法;
拥有…的机会
accessible adj. 可接近的; 可进入的;
可使用的
It would be handy to have...中,it为形
式主语,动词不定式部分为真正主语。
④此句为主从复合句,as引导时间状语
从句,feel后为省略that的宾语从句。
2.Earphones(耳机) for people who have trouble hearing⑤. It would help to fit⑥ sets of earphones to all seats, not just to some of them. This would allow hearing impaired customers to enjoy the company⑦ of their hearing friends rather than having to sit in a special area.
have trouble(in)doing sth.=have trouble with sth做某事有困难。
fit 此处意为“安装”。
a set of ...一套。 sets of成套的
company n.[U]陪伴。
keep company with...
keep sb company
in company with sb
accompany vt.陪伴
companion n. 同伴
rather than 而不是
other than 除..外
or rather 更确切地说
have difficulty (in) doing sth. 做某事有困难 have trouble (in) doing sth. 做某事有麻烦
have a hard time (in) doing sth. 做某事很艰难
have an easy time (in) doing sth. 做某事轻而易举
have fun (in) doing sth. 做某事很开心
3.Raised⑧ seating. People who are short cannot always see the screen. So I'd like to suggest that the seats at the back be placed higher than those at the front so that everyone can see the screen easily⑨. Perhaps there could be a space at the end of each row(一排;一行) for people in wheelchairs to sit next to their friends.
raise vt.抬高,提起。
本句为主从复合句,suggest后跟宾语从句,从句中又包含so that引导的目的状语从句,句中those为代词,指代seats。
4.Toilets. For disabled customers it would be more convenient to place⑩ the toilets near the entrance to the cinema. It can be difficult if the only disabled toilet is in the basement(地下室) a long way from where the film is showing . And if the doors could be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.
It be convenient (for sb)to do sth做某事对某人来说是方便的。
place vt.放置,安排。
the entrance to ...的入口处
where the film is showing 是where引导的宾语从句。
5.Car parking. Of course, there are usually spaces specially reserved for disabled and elderly drivers . If they are close to the cinema entrance and/or exit, it is easier for disabled people to get to the film in comfort.
reserve vt.保留;预定 n.自然保护区
此处为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰
spaces,句中elderly意为“年纪大的”。
be close to靠近,离……近的。
It is +adj.+for sb to do sth
in comfort舒适地
Thank you for reading my letter. I hope my suggestions will meet with your approval. Disabled people should have the same opportunities as able bodied people to enjoy the cinema and to do so with dignity(尊严). I am sure many people will praise your cinema if you design it with good access for disabled people. It will also make the cinema owners happy if more people go as they will make higher profits(利润) !
able bodied“身体健全的”。
the opportunity/chance to do sth做
某事的机会
if引导条件状语从句,as引导原因状语
从句。
with dignity体面地;有尊严的
make a profit获利;盈利;利润
Thank you!
