广播电视英语短句 第 64 课：钱再多也不嫌多-6

When you add the word gallery to the word peanut you have the name of an area in an American theater. 当你把GALLERY这个词加上花生后，你就会得到表示美国剧院里的一个区域的一个词。

A gallery is a high seating area or balcony above the main floor.
所谓GALLERY指的是剧院里主层之上的高位置座位或者阳台。

The peanut gallery got its name because it is the part of the theater most distant from where the show takes place. “花生位置”之所以得名，是因为它指的是剧院里离表演区最远的位置。

So, peanut gallery tickets usually cost less than other tickets. People pay a small amount of money for them. 所以“花生座位”的票也比一般的票便宜，出点小钱就可以买到了这些“花生座位”票了。
