15. Film is Giving Way to TV

电影让位于电视

There is a common phenomenon in our daily lives, during the period from 1975 to 1985, film goers declined dramatically from 85,000 to about 12,000, while TV-watchers sprung up from 5,000 to 100,000.

在日常生活中有这样一个普遍现象,那就是从1975年到1985年，去电影院看电影的观众从85,000骤减到12,000，而电视观众则从5,000激增到100,000。

As to the reasons, we may consider the following aspects. With the popularity of TV in our households, more and more people want one because of its cheapness and convenience; on the other hand, TV programs can offer us more options at the same time.

我们可以从以下方面考虑该现象的原因。随着电视在家庭的普及，越来越多观众被它的廉价和方便所吸引；另一方面，电视节目给观众提供了更多选择。

Nevertheless, films have not fully give their way, some people still prefer going to the cinema. They feel the audio-visual effects offered in the cinema is a permanent temptation.

然而，电影并没有被完全取代，仍有人坚持去电影院看电影。对于他们来说，电影院的音响效果是永远吸引他们的地方
