audience-specific movie Explanation: 这是针对“大众”而言，“小众”即特定的群体。我想英文中的"audience-specific movie"应该可以翻译成“小众电影”。 |

small attraction Explanation: da zong refers to the masses, the people if you like. What xiao zong is referring to here, is that it is not a blockbuster, but rather something that attract a small audience only. This may not be because of the quality of the film, it may just be a very esoteric movie. In any case, this type of inference has to be derived from context. Experience |
