  集合名词 audience 的用法要点   

  1. 表示听众、观众,是集合名词,用作主语时,其谓语可用单数或复数。如:

  The audience is [are]listening attentively. 听众都在聚精会神地听着。

  The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 观众对演出非常欣赏。

  有时由于语义的需要,分别用单数或复数更合适。如:

  The audience was enormous. 观众人很多。

  The audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 观众要在八点前都入座。

  2. 形容听众人数之多或少,通常用 large, small, crowded, thin等形容词修饰audience。如:

  There was a large audience of young people at the pop concert. 流行音乐演奏会上有大量青年听众。

  Her lecture had a crowded audience. 她的演讲挤满了听众。

  The speaker had a small but attentive audience. 这位演讲者的听众不多,但很专心。

  要在那么多观众面前唱歌她感到很紧张。

  正:She felt nervous at having to sing before so large an audience [such a large audience].

  误:She felt nervous at having to sing before so many audience.

  3. audience 虽为集合名词,但有时可用复数形式。如:

  The audiences were enormous. 听众特别多。

  He addressed audiences all over the country. 他向全国各地的听众作地演讲。

  4. audience 有时可表示读者。如:

  That book has a large audience. 那本书有广大的读者。
