.buying theater tickets 買戲票
going to the theater is very popuar and shows are often sold out far in advance. it is a good idea to buy your tickets in advance if you want to see a particular show. it is not necessary to tip the person who shows you to your seat in a theater.
人們很喜歡看戲,而且戲票常常是很早就預售一空. 如果你想看某一場演出,最好是提前買票. 沒有必要給劇院領座的人付小費.
