India's touring cinemas
文India's touring cinemas are dying, and being reborn
印度的流动影院在消亡中重生
It is one more paradox among the millions of contradictions that constitute India that what is perhaps the most film-mad country in the world also has among the lowest ratios of screens to human beings.***
在构成印度这个国家的数百万个矛盾之中，还有一个（我们不了解的）就是，在这个大概是全世界对电影最狂热的国家里，人均荧幕的数量却是全球垫底的水平。

The screens that do exist are unevenly distributed. PVR, India's biggest cinema operator, has more screens in Chandigarh, a prosperous city of about a million people, than it does in Rajasthan, a poor state of 80m.***
而那些仅存的荧幕也分布得不均匀。PVR 是印度规模最大的影院公司，它在昌迪加尔这座城市设立的影院数量超过了拉贾斯坦整个邦；前者是一座拥有大约一百万人口的繁荣城市，而后者是一个有着八千万人口的贫穷邦。

It was in this world that the touring talkies played a crucial role: if Muhammad could not go to the movies, the movies had to come to Muhammad***.
正是在这些经济落后的区域里，流动影院扮演了一个重要的角色：“如果穆罕默德不能到电影院那边去，电影院就到穆罕默德身边来”。

The collapse of the touring talkies was for two interlinked reasons.
流动影院衰败的背后，有两个相互关联的原因。

One is smartphone and internet penetration. Which leads to the other reason for the collapse of the touring cinemas: they failed to move with the times.
第一个是智能手机和网络对日常生活的渗透。而这一点也引出了另一个流动影院消亡的原因：这些影院没能与时俱进。

Sushil Chaudhary, the founder of a new chain of touring talkies called PictureTime, is making a different bet on the possibilities of cinema.
而苏希尔·乔杜里——新兴连锁流动影院 PictureTime 的创始人——却对影院的可能性有着不一样的预期。

Mr Chaudhary started his company in 2015 and has since set up 37 moving screens seating between 100 and 250 people.
乔杜里先生在 2015 年开创了这家公司，自那以后，他已经设立了 37 家可容纳 100 至 250 人不等的流动影院。

The touring cinema was nothing like the one in Pusegaon. The floor was carpeted and there were plastic chairs. The picture was crystal clear, the sound Dolby.
这些新式的流动影院跟普塞冈的那些完全不一样，它的地板上铺着地毯，还有塑料的座椅；电影的画面清晰，音响也是杜比系统。

PictureTime's tickets are cheap, at between 30 and 70 rupees, compared with an average ticket price of 191 rupees at PVR's multiplexes.
PVR 旗下多影厅影院的平均票价是 191 卢比，相比之下，PictureTime 的票价很便宜，只要 30 到 70 卢比。
