Tweet seat is a section in a theater set aside for people who want to tweet during a performance.

 

Tweet seat指剧场中专为那些想在演出过程中通过推特等微博平台发表言论的观众指定的座位，即“微博专座”。

 

Several performing arts companies around the United States are providing in-house zones where patrons can use their cell phones to share thoughts during a show, using Twitter, the popular social networking service.

 

美国有几家艺术演出公司已在为观众提供指定座位，以方便他们在演出过程中通过社交网站推特分享观感。

 

The marketing¹ value of such an addition is clearly attractive. Subscription² rates are falling across the country, and a younger audience remains³ elusive⁴. Live tweeting - silent, of course - is seen as a way to enhance the experience for the tweeter and to encourage followers⁵ to see the show.

 

这一新增举措的市场价值显然是有吸引力的。全国剧场的门票收入都在下降，而年轻一代的观众又游移不定。在演出现场实时发微博，当然要在静音状态下进行，被视作是一种既可以提升微博观众观看演出的体验又能鼓励更多粉丝来看演出“一举两得”的方式。
