4、e 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.1.为乘坐轮椅的人进入(电影院)提供充分的便利。电影院的各个部分都设置电梯将会很方便。电梯里的按钮应当让坐轮椅的残疾人容易够到,门也应当足够宽以方便轮椅进入。在一些电影院里,电梯设在电影院后面寒冷不显眼的地方。 由于残疾人不得不使用电梯,这使他们感到他们不像其他顾客那样重要。助读讲解It would be

9、e the film is showing. And if the doors could be opened outwards, disabled customers would be very happy.4.厕所。对于残疾人顾客来说,在影院的入口附近设置厕所将更加方便。如果唯一的残疾人厕所设在离放映大厅很远的地下室可能很麻烦。并且如果厕所门可以朝外开,残疾人顾客会非常高兴。助读讲解place vt.放置,安排。where the film is showing 是where引导的宾语从句。5Car parking.
