10、of Nonverbal Humour”译成汉语，然后参考译文助读自主勘误译文助读：无声的幽默大师维克多雨果曾经说过“笑容如阳光，驱走人们脸上的冬天”，关于这一点，直到今天也没有人能比查理卓别林做得更好。在两次世界大战以及之间的艰苦岁月里，他给英国和美国人民带来了快乐。在人们感到沮丧的时候，卓别林使他们开怀大笑，于是人们对自己的生活感到比较满足。然而卓别林自己的生活也并不容易。他生于1889年，出身贫寒。他的父母都是杂耍戏院里贫穷的演员。你可能会感到惊奇，查理刚能说话时大人就教他如何唱歌，他刚能走路时大人就教他跳舞。这样的训练在当时的演员家庭中是很普遍的，尤其是在家庭收入不稳定的时候。不幸的是
11、他的父亲去世了，整个家庭状况更糟了。所以查理在童年时期就要照顾生病的母亲和弟弟。在十多岁的时候，凭借着自己的幽默，查理已经在英国成为最受欢迎的童星之一。他能够不说话而仅靠动作来模仿傻子做日常的事务。看他的表演没有人会感到无聊他巧妙的表演使得一切都那么滑稽可笑。随着时间的推移，他开始拍电影。他塑造的可爱的“小流浪汉”角色开始闻名于世，而查理也越来越受欢迎。这个穷苦的无家可归的小流浪汉，留着小胡子，穿着大裤子、破鞋子，头顶着黑色的小圆帽。他手里拿着一根手杖迈着僵硬的步伐四处走动。这个角色是这个社会生活中的失败者，但他的乐观精神和战胜困难的决心使他受到人们的喜爱。面对并不善待他的人，这个弱者依然保持
12、友善的态度。然而这个小流浪汉是如何把悲凉的遭遇变得滑稽可笑的呢？这里有一个例子，来自于他最著名的电影之一淘金记。到19世纪末，在阿拉斯加州发现了金子。像其他很多人一样，小流浪汉和他的朋友也涌向那里去淘金，但却没有成功。相反，他们被暴风雪困在山边的一个小木屋中，没有任何东西可吃。他们饿极了，只好煮了一双皮鞋来充饥。首先，查理切下了皮鞋顶端的一块皮子并和其他人一起分享这双鞋。他努力地切并嚼着鞋底，就像在享用最好的牛排一样。然后他像吃意大利面一样，挑出鞋带来吃。他每一口都嚼得津津有味。卓别林的表演是那么有说服力，以至于你会相信这顿饭是他所吃过的最美味的一餐！查理卓别林自编、自导、自制他主演的电影。1
13、972年他被授予奥斯卡特别奖，以表彰他在电影界里的杰出工作。他生活在英国和美国，却在瑞士度过了生命中最后的日子，并于1977年被安葬在那里。人们热爱和怀念这位伟大的演员，因为他鼓舞人们并增强了他们的信心。二、课文精选段落背诵，请注意意群、连读和升降调A Master of Nonverbal HumourHow did the little tramp/makea sad situation entertaining？Hereisan example/from one of his most famous films.The Gold Rush.It is toward the end of
