I hope you will not mind me writing③ to ask if you have thought about④ the needs of disabled customers. In particular⑤ I wonder if you have considered the following things： 1 Adequate⑥ access⑦ for wheelchairs⑧. ⑨It would be handy⑩ to have lifts to all parts of the cinema. The buttons in the lifts should be easy for a person in a wheelchair to reach, and the doors be wide enough to enter. In some cinemas, the lifts are at the back of the cinema in cold, unattractive? places. As disabled people have to use the lifts, this makes them feel they are not as important as other customers?. 2 Earphones? for people who have trouble hearing? . ?It would help to fit? sets of earphones to all seats, not just to some of them. This would allow hearing-impaired? customers to enjoy the company? of their hearing friends rather than? having to sit in a special area. ①architect /ɑ?kItekt/ n．建筑师 be＋不定式，此处表示将来。还可表示“计划/安排/打算做某事；按义务/要求应做某事”。 mind sb. doing sth.介意某人做某事，此处mind后接动名词复合结构。 think about考虑 in particular尤其；特别是(＝particularly) adequate /?dIkw?t/ adj.足够的；充分的 access /?kses/ n．(接近的)方法；通路；可接近性 accessible /?kses?bl/ adj.可接近的；可使用的 wheelchair /wi?lt?e?/ n．轮椅 It would be handy to have ...中，it为形式主语，动词不定式短语to have ...作真正主语。 handy /h?ndI/ adj.方便的；有用的 unattractive adj.不漂亮的；无趣的 As ..., this makes them feel they are ...为主从复合句。as引导原因状语从句，主句中包含“make＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构，feel后为省略that的宾语从句。 earphone /I?f??n/n.耳机 have trouble (in) doing sth.做某事有困难 It would help to fit ...中，it为形式主语，动词不定式短语to fit ...为真正的主语。 fit此处为“安装”的意思。 hearing-impaired adj.听力有缺陷的 impair /Impe?/ vt.削弱；损伤 company n.
