由于
audience">audience
是集合名詞，所以
an audience">audience
不是指
“
一個(gè)觀眾
”
，而是指某一群觀眾、某一個(gè)場(chǎng)次觀眾、某一方面的觀眾等。如：
She has never spoken to such a big audience">audience before. 她以前從未向這么多人講過(guò)話。
He loves holding forth on any subject once he has an audience. 不管是什么問(wèn)題，只要有人聽(tīng)，他就愛(ài)大發(fā)議論。
同樣地，audiences 也不是指“多個(gè)觀眾”，而是指多群觀眾，多個(gè)場(chǎng)次觀眾，多個(gè)方面的觀眾等。
Entertaining audiences is the purpose of movies. 娛樂(lè)觀眾是電影的目的。
The show had to be taken off because of poor audiences. 因觀眾太少而取消演出。
She has addressed audiences all over the country. 她曾向全國(guó)各地的聽(tīng)眾演講。
另外，audience作為集合名詞，原則上不能用它表示個(gè)體，但every audience是例外，當(dāng)要強(qiáng)調(diào)每一名觀眾時(shí)，可以這樣用。如：
The pianist made a conquest of every audience for which she played. 這位鋼琴家以她的演奏征服了每一位聽(tīng)眾。
