Charlie Chaplin

Para 1 He was born in a poor area of South London. He wore his mother’s old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His mother was temporarily declared mad. Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplin’s childhood. But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of “the Tramp”, the little man in rags who gave his creator permanent fame.

Para 2 Other countries—France, Italy, Spain, even Japan—have provided more applau (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of his birth. 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.
For good---for ever
I hardly realized she was leaving me for good. 我没有意识到她将永远离开我了。
Para 3a Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplin’s
Tramp a bit, well, “crude”. Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted 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. All the same, Chaplin’s comic beggar didn’t em all that English or even working-class.

Trip up 使出错，暴露
Just as fire finds no way to wrap itlf in paper, so your wrong doing will trip itlf up in time.
就像纸里包不住火，你干的坏事终将会暴露。

Para 3b English tramps didn’t sport tiny moustaches, huge pants or tail coats: European leaders and Italian waiters wore things like that. Then again, the Tramp’s quick eye for a pretty girl had a coar way about it that was considered, well, not quite nice by English audiences—that’s how foreigners behaved, wasn’t it? But for over half of his screen career, Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his British nationality.
Para 4a Indeed, it was a headache for Chaplin when he could no longer resist the talking movies and had to find “the right voice” for his Tramp. He postponed that d
ay as long as possible: In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he made up a nonn language which sounded like no known nationality.
