11、His mother was temporarily declared mad. 他的妈妈一度被诊断为精神失常。,Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplins childhood. may/might have done 表示没有任何事实依据的猜测,might的可能性更小。 也许没做某事。 狄更斯或许能创作出查理卓别林的童年故事,Notes to the TextFocus Study,1. Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplins childhood.,Practice,might have v-ed:

12、used to say that something was possible in the past, but it did not in fact happen,Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 9 June 1870) was an English writer, generally considered to be the greatest novelist of the Victorian period During his lifetime Dickens works enjoyed unprecedented popularity and fame

13、, and they remain popular today.,But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of the Tramp, the great comic character of the Tramp, the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame. But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of the Tramp,

14、 the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame. 但只有查理卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪汉”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。,Other countries have provided more applause (and profit) Other countries France, Italy, Spain, even Japan have provided more applause (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of

15、 his birth. 就卓别林而言，其他国家，如法国、意大利、西班牙，甚至日本，都比他的出生地给予了他更多的掌声（和更多的收益）。,Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 for good: for ever 两国之间没有永恒的友谊 The friendship between two countries can not last for good,Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America

16、with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, (the king of Hollywood comedy films.) 在1913年，卓别林永

17、久地离开了英国，与一些演员一起启程到美国进行舞台喜剧表演。在那里，他被星探招募到好莱坞喜剧片之王麦克塞纳特的旗下工作。,Mack Sennett, Hollywood,Sad to say, many English people thought Chaplins Tramp a bit crude.,crude a., rude;,Hes always telling crude jokes.,crude rubber 天然橡胶 native iron 生铁 raw cotton 原棉, in its natural state,crude oil 原油,Words and Expressi

18、onsWord Using,Sad to say, many English people thought Chaplins Tramp a bit crude. Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplins Tramp a bit, well, crude. 令人遗憾的是，20世纪二、三十年代的很多英国人认为卓别林的“流浪汉”多少有点“粗俗”。,the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who rev

19、olted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear.,trip it up,to cause sb. to fall or nearly fall over; force someone to make a mistake by tricking them,李伸出脚把约翰绊倒了。,Lee stuck out his foot and tripped John up.,

20、Words and ExpressionsWord Using,Usually she was careful, but once she tripped up by a plot.,她一向谨慎，但有一次还是中了圈套。,Certainly middle-class audiences did; 中产阶级当然这样认为。 the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it

21、 up, or aiming the heel of his boot for a well-placed kick at its broad rear. 劳动阶层反倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色拍手喝彩：他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子，或用皮靴后跟对准权势者肥大的臀部踢一下。,All the same, Chaplins comic beggar didnt seem all that English or even working-class. 尽管如此，卓别林的滑稽乞丐形象并不那么像英国人，甚至也不像劳动阶级的人。,all that,very; particularly,事情并不那么顺利。

22、He wasnt all that older than we were.,Things arent all that good. 他并不比我们年纪大多少。,Words and ExpressionsWord Using,English tramps didnt sport tiny moustaches, huge pants or tail coats: European leaders and Italian waiters wore things like that. 英国流浪者并不留小胡子，也不穿肥大的裤子或燕尾服：欧洲的领导人和意大利的侍者才那样穿戴。,sport v.,to we

23、ar or show publicly and sometimes proudly,Back in the 1960s he sported bell-bottom trousers, platform heels and hair down past his shoulders.,回顾20世纪60年代，他那时穿着喇叭裤、木屐式坡形 高跟鞋、蓄着过肩的长发。,Words and ExpressionsWord Using,Then again, the Tramps quick eye for a pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was c

24、onsidered, well, not quite nice by English audiencesthats how foreigners behaved, wasnt it? 另外，“流浪汉”瞟着漂亮女孩的眼神也有些粗俗，被英国观众认为不太正派只有外国人才那样，不是吗？,But for over half of his screen career, Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his British nationality. 而在卓别林大半的银幕生涯中，银幕上的他是不出声的，也就无从证明他是英国人。,Indeed, it was a h

25、eadache for Chaplin when he could no longer resist the talking movies and had to find the right voice for his Tramp. 事实上，当卓别林再也无法抵制有声电影，不得不为他的“流浪汉”寻找“合适的声音”时，他确实很头疼。,He postponed that day as long as possible: In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he made

26、up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. 他尽可能地推迟那一天的到来：在 1936 的摩登时代里，他第一次在影片里发声唱歌。在片中，他扮演一名侍者，满口胡言乱语，听起来不像任何国家的语言。,He later said he imagined the Tramp to be a college-educated gentleman whod come down in the world. 后来他说，他想象中的“流浪汉”是一位受过大学教育，但已经没落的绅士。,come down in the world,to h

27、ave less money and a worse social position than one had before,她感到她的确已经穷困潦倒了。,She felt she had really come down in the world.,Words and ExpressionsWord Using,But if hed been able to speak with an educated accent in those early short comedies, its doubtful if he would have achieved world fame. 但假如他在早

28、期那些短小的喜剧电影中能操一口受教育人的口音，那么他是否会闻名世界就难说了,And the English would have been sure to find it odd. No one was certain whether Chaplin did it on purpose but this helped to bring about his huge success. 而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。没有人知道卓别林这么干是不是有意的，但这促使他获得了巨大的成功。,He was an immensely talented man, determined to a degree

29、unusual even in the ranks of Hollywood stars. 他是一个才能非凡的人，他的决心之大甚至在好莱坞明星中也十分少见。,His huge fame gave him the freedom and, more importantly, the money to be his own master. 他的巨大名声为他带来了自由，更重要的是带来了财富，他因此得以成为自己的主人。,He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent He already had the urge to explore an

30、d extend a talent (he discovered in himself as he went along.) 在事业发展之初，他就感到一种冲动要去发掘并扩展自己身上所显露的天才。,It cant be me. Is that possible? How extraordinary, is how he greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp on the screen. 当他第一次在银幕上看到自己扮演的“流浪汉”时，他说：“这不可能是我。那可能吗？瞧这角色多么与众不同啊！”,But that shock roused hi

31、s imagination. 这种震惊唤起了他的想象。,Chaplin didnt have his jokes written into a script in advance; 卓别林并没有把他的笑料事先写成文字。 he was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. 他是那种边表演边根据感觉去创造艺术的喜剧演员。,Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make contact with himself as an a

32、rtist. 没有生命的物体特别有助于卓别林发挥自己艺术家的天赋。,He turned them into other kinds of objects. 他将这些物体想象成其他东西。,Thus, a broken alarm clock (in the movie The Pawnbroker) became a sick patient (undergoing surgery); boots were boiled (in his film The Gold Rush )and their soles eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts o

33、f fish (the nails being removed like fish bones). 因此，在当铺老板中，一个坏闹钟变成了正在接受手术的“病人”；在淘金记中，靴子被放在锅里煮，靴底被蘸着盐和胡椒吃掉，就像上好的鱼片一样（鞋钉就像鱼骨那样被剔除）。,This physical transformation is surely the secret of Chaplins great comedy. This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, is su

34、rely the secret of Chaplins great comedy . 这种对事物的转化，以及他一次又一次做出这种转化的技巧，正是卓别林伟大喜剧的奥秘所在。,He also had a deep need to be lovedand a corresponding fear of being betrayed. 他也深切地渴望被爱，同时也害怕遭到背叛。,The two were hard to combine the collision between them resulted in disaster. The two were hard to combine and som

35、etimesas in his early marriages the collision between them resulted in disaster. 这两者很难结合在一起，有时这种冲突导致了灾难，就像他早期的几次婚姻那样。,Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations. 然而即使是这种以沉重代价换来的自知之明也在他的喜剧创作中得到了表现。,find ones way,to arrive or get somewhere after some time,Rive

36、rs find their way into the sea. 据说多媒体将很快进入家用市场。,条条江河通大海。 Its said that multimedia will soon find its way into the home market.,Words and ExpressionsWord Using,The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a sy

37、mbol of hatred for women . The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl wholl be waiting to walk into the sunset with him; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for women. “流浪汉”始终没有失去对卖花女的信心，相信她正等待着与自己共同走进夕阳之中；而卓别林的另一面使他的凡尔杜先生，一

38、个杀了妻子的法国人，成为了仇恨女人的象征。,Its a relief to know that Its a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happiness Its a relief to know that life eventually gave Charlie Chaplin the stability and happiness it had earlier denied him. 令人宽慰的是，生活最终把卓别林先前没能获得的稳定和幸福给了他。,In Oona ONe
