　　Action is more generally understood than words. That was the opinion of the greatest comedy star of silent films, and one of the most important names in movie history, Charlie Chaplin.

　　所謂窮人的孩子早當(dāng)家，卓別林兒時(shí)的貧困也為他以后的藝術(shù)生涯奠定了基礎(chǔ)：

　　Millions of fans all over the world came to love the antics（滑稽的動(dòng)作） of his Little Tramp（流浪者）, a character that grew out of（源于） the actors own youth.

　　In 1889, Charlie Chaplin was born in London, England to parents who both worked in theater. His fathers death and mothers illness left Charlie in poverty for most of his childhood. He first went on stage at the age of five, and by seventeen he was a leading member of a music hall group. While Chaplins group was traveling in the United Stated he got his big break.

　　可是，在美國的發(fā)展也不是一帆風(fēng)順的。卓別林的電影表達(dá)了太多對社會(huì)上貧窮和無權(quán)勢的人的同情，引起了美國政府的反感：

　　The U.S. government attacked Chaplin for the political ideas they believed he had. He left the country in 1952 and stayed in Switzerland until he died in 1977, only going back to Hollywood in 1972 to receive a special award for his remarkable work in film.

　　opinion意思是觀點(diǎn)，常用in someones opinion來表示依某人的看法，如：In my opinion, the scheme is unsound.（依我看,這計(jì)劃不夠妥當(dāng)。）

　　全世界數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的影迷為屏幕上流浪者的滑稽動(dòng)作深深著迷，而這個(gè)角色其實(shí)是卓別林少年生活的寫照。（that grew out of the actors own youth修飾a character）

　　1889年，卓別林出生于英國倫敦，父母都在劇場工作。（Charlie Chaplin was born in London, England to parents who both worked in theater）父親的去世與母親的疾病纏身讓他在貧困中度過了童年的大部分時(shí)光。（His fathers death and mothers illness left Charlie in poverty for most of his childhood）

　　生活在貧困之中，常用介詞in，如：He lived in poverty.（他生活貧窮。）poverty line就是貧困線，生活在貧困線以下，用介詞below，如：His family lives below the poverty line.（他的一家生活極端艱苦。）

　　卓別林五歲初次登臺(tái)表演，（He first went on stage at the age of five）到十七歲他已經(jīng)是一個(gè)喜劇綜藝團(tuán)中的主要演員了。（and by seventeen he was a leading member of a music hall group）當(dāng)他與劇團(tuán)一起到美國巡回表演時(shí)，他得到了一個(gè)大展身手的機(jī)會(huì)。（While Chaplins group was traveling in the United Stated he got his big break.）

　　美國政府借口卓別林的政治觀點(diǎn)不當(dāng)而抨擊他。（The U.S. government attacked Chaplin for the political ideas they believed he had.）

　　還記得911恐怖襲擊怎么說嗎？對，就是September 11th terrorism attacks，而這句話里的attack指的可是抨擊，再如：The governor was attacked by the press for failing to keep a campaign promise. （州長因沒能履行一項(xiàng)競選時(shí)的承諾而受資訊界抨擊。）

　　他于1952年離開美國，直到1977年去世一只住在瑞士。（He left the country in 1952 and stayed in Switzerland until he died in 1977,）在這期間，卓別林只在1972年回到好萊塢，接受一個(gè)表彰他對影壇的卓越貢獻(xiàn)的特別獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。（only going back to Hollywood in 1972 to receive a special award for his remarkable work in film.）

　　注意award和reward的區(qū)別，它們都可以指獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，獎(jiǎng)品，但前者側(cè)重于榮譽(yù)本身，如：The novel earned him a literary award.（這部長篇小說為他贏得了文學(xué)。）而后者側(cè)重于獎(jiǎng)金，如：A large reward is offered for the capture of the criminals.（巨額懸賞捉拿這些罪犯。）
