an occasion when actors read the script of a film, television programme, play, etc. together, for example to find out if the script needs changing in any way or if there are any production problems

We met for a table read, with about forty studio and network people listening. 我们见面进行了一次剧本围读，大约有40名电影制片厂和电视网的工作人员旁听。

At the first table read, we were all laughing so hard we could barely get through it. 第一次进行剧本围读的时候，我们都笑得很厉害，几乎进行不下去。
