common room Explanation: I'd never heard of this before, but from a couple of docs, it looks like this is a communal area where local people or workers and their families can get together to watch telly for example. The only equivalent I can think of is a common room, but there might be a better term out there... http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0003/000369/036912fo.pdf 4. Les cases d'écoute On les trouvait dans tous les quartiers populaires. Elles étaient destinées au public pour l'écoute de la télévision et leur local servait aussi au prêt de livres. Mais, vu leur étroitesse et leur emplacement, il n'était pas toujours agréable d'y suivre une émission de télévision. Et, finalement,, elles n'ont pas eu beaucoup de succès. |
