23、d)人名；(英)里德桑达斯女士 爱丽斯梅杰总建筑师 剑桥街64号影院设计公司 班克斯敦 希尔街44号 班克斯敦 200-_年9月24日 亲爱的桑达斯女今天我从报上了解到您将成为班克斯敦新影院的建筑设计师。我希望您不介意我写信询问您是否已考虑到残疾顾客的需要。尤其是以下几点不知您是否考虑到了:Adequate dkwtadj. 充足的；适当的；胜任的accesskses for wheelchairs wilten. 轮椅.

26、电梯这就使残疾人感到比别的观众低一等。Earphones rfonzn. 电讯 耳机（earphone的复数）for people who have trouble hearing. It would help to fitft sets of earphones to all seats, not just不仅仅；不只是to some of them.

(Happy)人名；(英、瑞典、喀)哈皮happen hp()n vi. 发生；碰巧；偶然遇到3.抬高座位。身体矮小的人常常看不到屏幕。所以我想建议影院后排的座位应该比前排的高这样每个人都能很容易地看到屏幕。也许可以在每一排的排尾都留出空位

30、以便坐轮椅的人坐在他们的朋友旁边。Toiletstlt. For disabled customers it would be more convenient knvinntadj. 方便的；废语适当的；口语近便的；实用的to place the toilets near the entrance entr()nsn. 入口；进入vt. 使出神，使入迷to the cinema.
