由ballroom联想到词典的时效性
今天看到一些描写ballroom的图片，发现里面全是餐桌，地面还铺有地毯，感觉理解成“舞厅”肯定不对。于是，查了很多词典，发现只有wiktionary包含有"宴会厅"的意思：
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ballroom
A large room used for dancing and banquets.

看来，词典还是应该随时代变化和人们的使用而变化。

这个词我最近在新闻中听到过，好像是Donald trump在好几个州连续胜选以后，其在他opulent ballroom里举行了一个press conference，当时记得下面就是像结婚的那种场景一样，坐满了一桌一桌的人，应该是餐厅，当然把座椅取掉也可以跳舞（现在的很多酒店的餐厅其实也是多功能的，把座椅取掉换成特殊的椅子也用来作为meeting room），
