Popcorn, soda, candy bars the size of floor tiles - is that all your local movie theater has to offer?
爆米花、汽水、糖果----这就是你所处影院所能提供的所有食品吗？
If so, consider broadening your horizons. While most movie houses stick to the usual goodies, some are taking a more creative approach, offering fresh pastries, locally made biscotti and cafe-style cappuccinos. One multiplex will even deliver an entire dinner to your seat.
如果真是这样的话，那就把你的视野拓宽些吧。当大多数影院仍坚守于传统的食品方面时，已有一些影院在着手创新：提供新鲜的糕点、现场制作的意式脆饼以及卡布其诺咖啡等等。一家多厅影院甚至还可将全套的晚餐食品送达你的座位。
And while theaters generally live and die by their concession sales - conventional wisdom says they can account for more than 40 percent of a large chain's profits - you can still find prices that reflect these lean times. Would you believe a fresh-baked apple turnover for around $2? Or a Black Angus burger with bacon and real Cheddar cheese for less than $10?
由于其利润率的贡献，可以说小卖柜台左右着影院的兴衰。
