Steps
步骤
STEP 1 Identify the evildoer
1.找出罪魁祸首
Positively identify the miscreant. You don’t want to wrongly accuse someone who appears to be speaking, but is actually just chewing his popcorn aggressively.
积极找出这个罪大恶极的人 。不要错误地指责看上去像是在说话,实际上只是在努力嚼爆米花的人 。
STEP 2 Consider moving seats
2.考虑换座位
See if there’s a seat you can move to without much fuss. In these situations, an avoidance maneuver is always preferable to a confrontation.
看一下是否能够不动声色地换座位 。在这些情况下,机动规避比避免冲突更加明智 。
STEP 3 Assess your adversary
3.评估对手
Assess your adversary. Does the loudmouth have tattoos that might have been acquired in prison? An aura of insanity? A weapon? If so, it’s probably best to wait until the movie comes out on DVD.
评估一下你的对手 。这个大喇叭是否有一些纹身表明曾经入狱?是否有些疯狂的意味?对方是否有武器?如果这样的话,你最好等到这部电影的DVD出炉 。
STEP 4 Start out nicely
4.以友好的态度开口
Begin with a polite approach. In a soft, calm voice, explain that while you are impressed with how well he is following the plot, you’d appreciate it if he’d keep his observations to himself.
以礼貌的态度开始 。用温和平静的声音解释,如果他能够遵守纪律的话你会印象深刻 。如果他能够严于律己,你将非常感激 。
STEP 5 Kick it up a notch
5.提高一个等级
If he ignores you, raise your voice a notch and say you are begging him to pipe down, as you paid good money to hear Daniel Day-Lewis’s voice, not his.
如果他无视你,把声音提高一个档次,说你求求他安静下来,因为你花钱买电影票是想听丹尼尔·戴-刘易斯的声音,而不是他的 。
Ask loudly if anyone else is bothered by this boorish behavior. It’s in your best interest to get the entire theater riled up against noise.
大声询问是否还有其他人为他讨厌的举动感到厌烦 。让整个电影院的人联合起来反对他的噪音对你来说是最有益的 。
STEP 6 Complain to management
6.向管理人员投诉
If nothing is getting through to this chucklehead, complain to management. Even if the 'manager' is a pimple-faced teen, he has the authority to throw out unruly customers.
如果任何方法都不能让这个讨厌的人停下来,向管理人员投诉 。即使“管理人员”是个脸上还在长粉刺的青少年,他也有权把不遵守纪律的观众请出去 。
STEP 7 Request a refund
7.请求退款
If all your efforts have led to naught, plus you’ve missed a good chunk of the movie, politely request a refund. If you come off as reasonable, you might even score some free passes.
如果所有努力都无效,而且你也未能好好观赏电影,礼貌地请求退款 。如果你表现得比较合理,你甚至可能会得到一些免费的入场券 。
Action movies and those with a PG rating are the most likely to have problems with audience behavior, according to officials at one large movie-theater chain.
根据一个大型连锁电影院的官员所说,动作片和PG级的电影最有可能遭遇行为有问题的观众 。
