楼主你太赞了！每个句子都学到了好多~
想请教下这句话：虽然每个单词意思懂 但是不知道在说什么
Finally, they suggested that popular demand for substandard fare created a market unfriendly to higher expressions of dramatic art.



原文在此：
While the influence of British magazines in shaping public opinion predates the nineteenth century, it was during the 1800s that mass distribution became possible and an explosion in periodical readership occurred, vastly increasing magazine’s opinion-shaping powers. The role of magazines as arbiters of nineteenth-century taste is seen in their depictions of the London theater. The magazines accorded some legitimacy to East End working-class theaters that mirrored the format of the fashionable West End theaters serving middle-and upper-class audiences. However, the magazines also depicted music halls—which competed for patronage with all theaters—as places where crass entertainment corrupted spectators’s taste and morals. Finally, they suggested that popular demand for substandard fare created a market unfriendly to higher expressions of dramatic art.

是不是结论dramatic和上文的theater同义？前后先说报纸影响读者，大量介绍theater 又说还会贬低music hall 那么finally这个结论为什么dramatic art的市场不乐观了呐？

万分感谢！！！

是的，两个是同义的。
理解最后一句话的关键就是“which competed for patronage with all theaters”这 ...
