The reading passage outlines three reasons for the unique design of Elizabethan playhouses. However, the lecturer counters these concerns by presenting evidence that these factors are not as significant as initially proposed. Firstly, the reading passage argues that the playhouses were derived from ancient Roman architectures because of prevail published books about the design of Roman theatretheater(misspelling). In contrast, the lecturer contends who were responsible for building these unusual theatrestheaters(misspelling) were not architects having familiarity with this book but the business manbusinessman(business man (businessman)) even without being aware of it because the book was published in Latin which only highly educated people can understoodunderstand(Non-infinitive verb after modal verbs) at that time. Secondly, the passage suggests that the unique theatretheater(misspelling) can be modeled on the designs of sports arenasarenas,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) where many performances usually carried on. The lecturer disputes this claim by emphasizing that sports arenas were not well-suited for the performances due to the dirty fence around the stages used to protect audiences from the playing animals, which can greatly block the sights from audiences and make a bad experiences to them. Lastly, the author posits that this unique design can lower the costs and bring more profits by containing larger audiences and using natural daylights. The lecturer refutes this notion by asserting that this design can be problematic and even reduce the profits in the rainy or cold days because the loss of roof can not protect the audiences from the bad weather, which can lead to decreasing audiences and make a smaller income instead.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three theories explaining the unique design of Elizabethan playhouses, while the lecture opposes these ideas by providing counterarguments.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that the influence of classical Roman architecture could have inspired the round design of Elizabethan playhouses due to a republished book describing Roman theater designs. However, the lecturer refutes this idea by pointing out that those responsible for constructing these playhouses were primarily business people and carpenters, not architects familiar with the book. Moreover, since the book was published in Latin, which only highly educated individuals could understand at that time, it is unlikely that those who built the playhouses were even aware of its existence.

Secondly, the passage proposes that Elizabethan playhouses may have been modeled on circular sports arenas where traveling theater companies sometimes performed before permanent theaters were constructed. Contrarily, the lecturer argues that sports arenas were not well-suited for theatrical performances due to high fences enclosing animals and protecting spectators during sporting events. These fences obstructed audience members' views during plays, making it improbable that sports arenas served as inspiration for permanent playhouse designs.

Lastly, the author asserts that financial benefits could have driven key features of playhouse design such as larger audience capacity and open roofs allowing daylight performances without artificial lighting costs. The lecturer challenges this theory by highlighting potential profit reductions caused by open-roof designs offering no protection from inclement weather. Smaller audiences during cold or rainy days would result in decreased income, suggesting that financial motivations may not have been behind these unique design elements. (263 words)
