（33）Buying Theater Tickets 买戏票

    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.

    人们很喜欢看戏,而且戏票常常是很早就预售一空。 如果你想看某一场演出,最好是提前买票。 没有必要给剧院领座的人付小费。
