person who watches TV or video
A person who watches TV, online video, or other shows.
用法模式：
[number] viewers watch [a show/event]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use *audience* instead of *viewers* when talking about TV ratings or online video statistics. Use *viewers* when you mean people watching on screens (e.g., "The show had five million viewers"), and *audience* more generally for people at an event or as a single group (e.g., "The audience clapped loudly").
