| Against the backdrop of China's fast growing film industry, an expert painted a far-from-rosy picture of the country's film market, citing extremely low cinema admissions, the Legal Evening News reported. |
據(jù)《法制晚報(bào)》報(bào)道，如今國(guó)內(nèi)的電影工業(yè)發(fā)展蒸蒸日上，但一位專(zhuān)家描述的電影市場(chǎng)卻遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)那么樂(lè)觀，證據(jù)是極低的觀影人次。 |
| Pan Tianqiang of Renmin University recently said that China's cinema admissions reached 2.25 billion in 2010, less than one-tenth of the record set in 1979 -- 29.3 billion. |
中國(guó)人民大學(xué)的潘天強(qiáng)近日表示，2010年國(guó)內(nèi)的觀影人次達(dá)22.5億，不及1979年最高紀(jì)錄——293億的一成。 |
| 250 million urban residents went to theaters last year, almost three times more than four years ago. But the figure is still less than 20% of urban admissions last year in the US despite a population six times larger. |
去年，2.5億名城鎮(zhèn)居民走進(jìn)電影院，幾乎是4年前的3倍。但這個(gè)數(shù)字還不到美國(guó)去年城鎮(zhèn)觀影人次的兩成，而中國(guó)的人口是美國(guó)的6倍。 |
| The average Chinese sees 0.19 films at the cinema a year, or just 1 movie every 5.3 years. In Japan, South Korea and the US, the figure ranges from 1 to 5 movies per year. Last year, Americans went to the theater every 85 days on average. |
普通中國(guó)人一年在電影院看0.19部電影，也就是說(shuō)每5.3年只看一部電影。而在日本、韓國(guó)和美國(guó)，這個(gè)數(shù)字為每年1部到5部不等。去年，美國(guó)人平均85天進(jìn)一次電影院。 |
| Pan said high ticket prices should be blamed for such low admissions. The average ticket price is about 40 yuan in China, and in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, prices usually starts at 60 yuan. This is way too expensive for ordinary residents with an average monthly income of 2,000 yuan. |
潘天強(qiáng)強(qiáng)調(diào)，電影票價(jià)太高導(dǎo)致了如此低的觀影次數(shù)。國(guó)內(nèi)現(xiàn)在平均票價(jià)約為40元，而在上海、北京這樣的大城市，電影票起步價(jià)通常為60元。這對(duì)于平均月收入2000元的普通居民來(lái)說(shuō)高得實(shí)在離譜。 |
|
Meanwhile, ticket prices in the US have remained very low, accounting for 0.0025 of average monthly income. By this standard, China should have the price set at 7 yuan, Pan said.

而美國(guó)的電影票價(jià)一直保持得很低，只占人們平均月收入的0.0025。潘天強(qiáng)說(shuō)，按照這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，中國(guó)的電影票價(jià)應(yīng)定在7元。 |
