9、如维克多雨果曾经说过的：“笑声如驱走人们脸上寒冬的太阳”。关于这一点，直到今天也没有人能比查理卓别林做得更好。2Unfortunately his father died,leaving the family even worse off,so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.句式分析 此句为so连接的并列句，so在句中表示结果。第一分句中“”为现在分词作结果状语。尝试翻译 leaving the family even worse off不幸的是，他的父亲去世了，这使得他的家境
10、更加贫寒，所以查理的童年是在照顾生病的母亲和弟弟中度过的。3The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!句式分析 此句为主从复合句。主句结构为“如此以至于”，that引导结果状语从句；第二个that引导的从句在句中作动词believe的宾语。句中的“”为省掉关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词meals。尝试翻译 so.thathe has ever tastedthat(卓别林的)表演是那么有说服力，以至于你会相信这顿饭是他吃过的最
11、美味的一顿！A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs victor Hugo once said【1】，“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【2】.He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in betwee
12、n【3】.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed【4】，so they could feel more content with their lives.【1】As Victor Hugo once said是As引导的非限制性定语从句。As指代整个主句的内容，意为“正如”。【2】nobody与better连用，属于“否定词比较级”用法，表示最高级含义。【3】in betweenin between two world wars,为避免重复，承接上文，省略了宾语。in between为双重介词，是介词的一种特殊用法。【4】
13、when they felt depressed是when引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a time，关系副词when代替先行词在从句中作时间状语。Not that Charlies 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
14、 he could walk.【5】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【6】，so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother.By his teens，Charlie had,th

16、n as he could speak和as soon as he could walk是as soon as引导的两个时间状语从句。【6】现在分词短语leaving.off作结果状语，表示一种自然而然的结果。【7】现在分词短语watching him作时间状语，相当于时间状语从句when they were watching him。As time went by【8】，he began making films.He grew more and more popular as his charming character,the little tramp,became known thro

18、culties.He was the underdog24 who was kind even when others were unkind to him.【8】As time went by意为“随着时间的推移”，是as引导的时间状语从句，相当于with time going by。【9】as his charming character.the world是as引导的时间状语从句，the little tramp是character的同位语。【10】此处“a poor,homeless man with a moustache”作The tramp的同位语。【11】现在分词短语carry
19、ing a walking stick作伴随状语，与walked around stiffly表示的动作同时发生。How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining?Here is an example from one of his most famous films【12】，The Gold Rush.It is toward the end of the nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in Alaska.Like so many others,th
20、e little tramp has rushed there in search of25 gold,but without success.Instead he and another man are hiding in a small hut during a snowstorm26 with nothing to eat【13】.They are so hungry that the little tramp tries boiling one of his leather27shoes for dinner.Charlie cuts off28 the leather top of

22、 it makes you believe that it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!【15】【12】此句是全部倒装句，已形成了惯用句式：Here is./Here are.,用来引出下文的内容。【13】with nothing to eat是with复合结构，在句中作状语。【14】as if it were the finest steak是as if引导的状语从句，使用了虚拟语气，从句表示与现在事实相反的假设，故从句用一般过去时，be动词常用were。此处as if意为“好像”。【15】此句包含了“so.that.”结构，tha
23、t引导结果状语从句，that it is.tasted是宾语从句，作believe的宾语，he has ever tasted是定语从句，修饰先行词one of the best meals，关系代词that因作宾语已省略。Charlie Chaplin wrote,directed35 and produced the films he starred in36【16】.In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding37 work in films.He lived in England and the USA but spe
24、nt his last years in Switzerland,where he was buried in 1977【17】.He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence【18】【16】he starred in是省略了关系代词that/which的定语从句。【17】where he was buried in 1977是where引导的非限制性定语从句，关系副词where代替先行词在从句中作地点状语。【18】who could inspire peopl
25、e with great confidence是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a great actor,who在定语从句中作主语。词语积累humour/hjum/n.幽默，滑稽up to nowuntil now 直到现在(常与现在完成时连用)brighten/bratn/vt.使更愉快；使更有希望depressed/dprest/adj.忧愁的；沮丧的feel/be content with 对满足content/kntent/adj.满足的；满意的 n满足 vt.使满足not that倒不是，并不是说performer/pfm/n.表演者；演出者astonishing/stn/adj.

30、喜剧。卓别林也通过他的角色“流浪汉”成为全球偶像，并被认为是电影界历史上最重要的人物之一。,课文翻译无声的幽默大师维克多雨果曾说过：“笑声如阳光，驱走人们脸上的寒冷冬意。”迄今为止，没有人能比查理卓别林在这方面做得更好。在一战到二战之间的艰苦岁月里，他使英美人民充满对生活的希望。在人们感到沮丧的时候，他可以使他们开怀大笑，于是人们就对自己的生活感到比较满足。卓别林自己的生活并不那么容易！1889年他出生于一个贫寒的家庭。他的父母都是音乐厅里的贫穷演员。你可能会感到惊奇，查理刚会说话时大人就教他唱歌，他刚会走路时大人就教他跳舞了。这样的训练在当时的演员家庭里很普遍，尤其是在家庭收入经常不稳定的时
31、候。不幸的是，他父亲的离世使得他的家境更加艰难，所以查理的童年是在照顾生病的母亲和弟弟中度过的。到十几岁时，凭借自己的幽默，查理成为英国最受欢迎的童星之一。他能够用哑剧动作来演傻瓜做普通的日常工作。看他表演的时候，没有人会感到无聊他技艺精湛的表演使得一切都是有趣的。随着时间的推移，他开始拍电影。他塑造的小流浪汉这一迷人的角色开始闻名于世时，查理越来越受欢迎。这个贫穷的、无家可归的小流浪汉留着小胡子，穿着大裤子、破鞋子，头戴黑色小圆帽。他(手里)拿着一根拐杖，僵硬地四处走动。这个角色是个社会生活中的失败者，但他乐观的精神和战胜困难的决心使得他深受(观众的)喜爱。他属于弱势群体，但他很善良，即使别
32、人对他并不友善。这个小流浪汉是如何把悲惨的境遇变得令人愉快的呢？这里有一个例子出自他最著名的电影之一淘金记。将近19世纪末期，人们在阿拉斯加发现了金子。像其他许多人一样，这个小流浪汉也赶到那儿去寻找金子，但是没有成功。相反，他和另一个人在暴风雪中躲在一个小屋里，没有任何东西可吃。他们是如此饿，以至于这个小流浪汉试着煮了他的一只皮鞋来充饥。查理把皮鞋的鞋帮切下来，和那个人分吃这只鞋。他试着把鞋底切下来吃，就好似它是一块最好的牛排。然后他挑出鞋带来吃，像是吃意大利面条一样。他每一口都嚼得津津有味。(卓别林的)表演是那么有说服力，以至于使你相信这是他吃过的最好的一顿饭。查理卓别林自编、自导、自制他主演的电影。1972年他被授予奥斯卡特别奖，以表彰他在电影界的杰出工作。他在英国和美国生活过，在瑞士度过了他的余生，1977年他被安葬在那里。人们热爱和怀念这位伟大的演员，(因为)他能用极大的信心鼓舞人们。
