That was the opinion of the greatest comedy star of silent films, and one of the most important names in movie history, Charlie Chaplin. 所谓穷人的孩子早当家，卓别林儿时的贫困也为他以后的艺术生涯奠定了基础： Millions of fans all over the world came to love the antics（滑稽的动作） 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，在美国的发展也不是一帆风顺的。卓别林的电影表达了太多对社会上贫穷和无权势的人的同情，引起了美国政府的反感： 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. |
