維克多·雨果曾說,“笑是陽光,驅(qū)走人們臉上的冬天”,到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有人做的比查利卓別林更好.他點亮了美國和英國人在兩次世界大戰(zhàn)和之間的艱苦歲月里的生活.他使人們在沮喪的時候微笑,所以他們對生活感到更滿足.
然后查利卓別林自己的生活并不容易!他于1889年出生在一個貧困的家庭.你可能會感到驚奇因為他幾乎在會走路的時候就開始說話和跳舞.這樣的訓練在當時的家庭非常普遍,尤其是這個家庭的收入不定的時候.不幸的是他的父親去世了,整個家庭的狀況更糟了,所以查利在童年時期就要照顧生病的母親和弟弟.在他十幾歲時,查利,通過他的幽默,成為英國最受歡迎的兒童演員之一,他能表演出做日常生活的愚者.看他的時候沒有人會感到無聊——他精妙的表演使每個人都很開心.
隨著時間的流逝,他開始演電影.由于他迷人的性格,小流浪漢的樣子,他變得越來越受歡迎.那個流浪漢,是個留著胡子的貧窮,無家可歸的人,穿著大褲子,破舊的鞋子和一個黑色的小圓帽,走路的時候手里拿著一根手杖.這個角色是個社會生活中的失敗者,但由于他所演繹的樂觀的堅定而被喜愛.他是個對人友好的人,即使別人對他不好.
他是如何讓這個悲劇的局面變得快樂的呢?從他最著名的電影之一,淘金,舉一個例子.19世紀中葉,人們剛剛在加利福尼亞發(fā)現(xiàn)了金子.像其他人一樣,他和他的朋友一起去那兒尋找黃金,但沒有成功.在暴風雪中,們只能躲在山邊的一間小屋里沒東西吃.他們是如此的饑餓以至于嘗試煮一雙皮鞋來充饑.查利首先挑出鞋帶,就像吃意大利面條一樣.然后他切斷皮革鞋面仿佛是最好的牛排.最后,他試圖切割和嚼鞋的底部.他以一種享受的態(tài)度吃著每一口.這場表演如此有說服力以至于你相信他吃的東西是他所吃過的最好吃的東西.
查利卓別林編寫、導演和制作他主演的電影.由于在電影中出色的工作,在1972年他被授予奧斯卡獎.他生活在英國和美國,但在瑞士度過了他的晚年.1977年他被埋葬在那里.作為偉大的演員.他能以極大的自信鼓舞別人的演員,為此他被我們喜愛和銘記.
原文如下：
As Victor Hugo once said,"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face",and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin.He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed,so they could feel more content with their lives.
Not that Charlie's own life was easy!He was born in a poor family in 1889.His parents were both poor music hall performers.You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk.Such training was common in acting families at this time,especially when the family income was often uncertain.Unfortunately his father died,leaving the family even worse off,so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.By his teens,Charlie had,through his humour,become one of the most popular child actors in England.He could mime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks.No one was ever bored watching him -his subtle acting made everything entertaining.
As time went by,he began making films.He grew more and more popular as his charming character,the little tramp,became known throughout the world.The tramp,a poor,homeless man with a moustache,wore large trousers,worn-out shoes and a small round black hat.He walked around stilly carrying a walking stick.This character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.
How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining?Here is an example from one of his most famous films,The Gold Rush.It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in California.Like so many others,the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold,but without success.Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat.They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner.Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti.Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak.Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe.He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment.The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!
Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed and produced the films he starred in.In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films.He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977.He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.
