It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away
the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele.
①It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele.
②They come entirely for the plays, not the sights.
③They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over) -- lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.

①(论点:总1)把价格提高太多将是一件令人遗憾的事,因为这样做将会赶走斯特福特镇最有吸引力的客户群——年轻人。
②(并列:总2)他们来这里就是为了欣赏戏剧,而不是观光。
③(具体:分)他们虽然来自世界各地,看起来却都很相像——身材削瘦,言语直率,神情执着,穿着牛仔裤和凉鞋,啃着圆面包,躺在剧院外的石板上过夜,等着买 20 张座位票和 80 张站票,这些票是为露宿者准备的,在上午 10 点半售票处开门时他们就可以买到。
