One way to hold this word: a room with a stage, and an evening built out of short turns. Somebody sings, somebody dances, somebody tells jokes, and the room sings along — then it starts again with the next act. From that one evening the word reaches in two directions: the style of show itself, and the building where it happens. Today the building has outlived the style, so a modern music hall is simply a hall for music.
可以想成:一個有舞台的廳,加上一個由許多短節目串起來的晚上。有人唱歌,有人跳舞,有人上台講笑話,台下跟著一起唱,唱完換下一組。這個畫面往兩個方向長:一邊是「那種表演形式」,一邊是「辦這種表演的那棟建築」。後來表演形式淡掉了,建築物的意思留了下來,所以今天看到的 Music Hall 多半就是一個放音樂表演的場地。
