问题描述
The _______ (大多数) of people seem to prefer TV to radio.
本题答案是填 majority，这不是问题。我理解的问题是：句中的 TV 可以不用冠词，但radio前面也可以不用冠词吗？
老师答疑
陈老师：
▲radio表示无线电节目或无线电传送的信息时，通常是要连用定冠词的。如：
Do you listen to the radio much? 你经常收听广播吗？
A lot of people listen to the radio in the mornings. 很多人早上收听广播节目。
I enjoy listening to the radio while I’m driving. 开车时，我喜欢收听电台广播。
I was only listening to the radio with half an ear, while preparing some food. 我正在做吃的，没太留心听收音机。
▲但如果与 TV, television 进行对比时，考虑到平行关系，通常两者都不用定冠词。如：
Do you prefer radio or television? 你喜欢听广播，还是喜欢看电视?
Politicians are often satirized on TV and radio. 政客常遭到电视与无线电广播的讥讽。

The concert will be broadcast live on television and radio. 音乐会将通过电视和电台现场直播。
There will be simultaneous transmission of the concert on TV and radio. 电视和收音机将同步转播这场音乐会。
但如果 TV, television 前用了定冠词，则 radio 前也要用定冠词。如：
The government made the announcement over the TV and the radio. 政府通过电视和收音机发表那个通告。
陈老师：
