今年，幽默大師卓別林迎來130歲誕辰，這個在大銀幕上給無數(shù)觀眾帶來歡笑的默片時代巨星，現(xiàn)實生活卻并非總是一帆風順……

Say the name Charles Chaplin and most people immediately think of a bowler hat, baggy pants and a silly mustache. Behind this silly character, however, Chaplin was a serious filmmaker.

說到查理·卓別林的名字，大多數(shù)人都會立刻想到他戴著圓頂禮帽，穿著松垮的袋形褲，留著傻兮兮的胡子的形象。但在這個滑稽的角色背后，卓別林卻是個認真嚴肅的電影制作人。

Chaplin, who died in 1977, would be 130 years old this month. He was silent film’s first superstar.

卓別林于1977年逝世，本月將迎來130歲誕辰。他是默片時代的首位超級巨星。

US blogger Scott Parker-Anderson writes that Chaplin had a natural ability for acting and comedy. Maybe it came from his mother, a singer and stage actress. Unfortunately, she lost her voice, so Chaplin and his brother had to make money any way they could.

美國博主斯科特·帕克-安德森寫道，卓別林生來就有表演和喜劇的天賦�；蛟S這一點遺傳自其身為歌手和舞臺劇演員的母親。但由于母親不幸失聲，卓別林和兄弟們不得不想盡一切辦法自謀生路。

“I was newsvendor, printer, toymaker, doctor’s boy, etc., but … I never lost sight of my ultimate aim to become an actor,” said Chaplin. After years of trying to find acting work, he was finally hired at Keystone Studios, where his life changed forever.

“我做過報童，印刷工，玩具師傅，醫(yī)生助手等等，但我從未放棄成為演員的終極目標，”卓別林說道。他多年來一直在找演戲的工作，最終被啟斯東電影公司聘用，從此改變了他的一生。

One day, Chaplin was told to dress funnier, wrote Pamela Hutchinson in the Guardian. He went to the wardrobe and when he came back, The Tramp was born.

一天，卓別林被通知要穿得滑稽一點，帕梅拉·哈欽森在《衛(wèi)報》上寫道。他去衣櫥里翻了翻，回來后電影《流浪漢》中的形象便誕生了。

Chaplin made the character funny by mismatching his looks. “I wanted everything a contradiction,” said Chaplin. Chaplin mixed baggy pants with a tight coat, giant shoes and a little hat.

卓別林不協(xié)調(diào)的穿搭令這一角色滑稽可笑。“我希望一切都是自相矛盾的，”卓別林說道。卓別林將袋形褲和緊身大衣、大皮鞋、小禮帽搭配在了一起。

Audiences immediately loved The Tramp. His style of physical comedy was perfect for silent films. In one famous scene, the Tramp roller skates around a department store with his eyes covered. It’s both funny and horrifying as he nearly falls off a ledge.

觀眾瞬間就愛上了《流浪漢》這部電影。他表演動作喜劇的風格再適合默片不過了。在一個著名的場景中，“流浪漢”蒙著雙眼在百貨公司里滑起了旱冰鞋。他差點摔下窗臺的鏡頭好玩又嚇人。

Besides acting, Chaplin wrote, directed and even composed the music for many of his films – he was a violinist, cellist and pianist. He loved every aspect of filmmaking, and was a famous perfectionist, according to historian Hooman Mehran.

除了演戲之外，卓別林創(chuàng)作、執(zhí)導了多部電影，甚至還為他的不少作品配樂 —— 他能演奏小提琴、大提琴以及鋼琴。歷史學家胡曼·邁赫蘭認為，他熱愛電影制作的方方面面，也是出了名的完美主義者。

Speaking to CNN, Mehran called the director “the king of the re-take”. Indeed, Chaplin once made an actress say “Flower sir?” 342 times before he was satisfied with her performance.

邁赫蘭在接受美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)采訪時稱這位導演為“重拍之王”。的確，卓別林曾讓一位女演員說了342遍“要花嗎？先生”，直到對她的表演感到滿意為止。

This dedication to his art was the key to Chaplin’s success. He is perhaps the only silent film star anyone remembers. Film critic Andrew Sarris says Chaplin’s legacy is much bigger. He calls Chaplin “the single most important artist” in film history.

對藝術(shù)如此專注是卓別林獲得成功的關(guān)鍵。他或許是被世人所銘記的唯一一位默片時代明星。影評人安德魯·薩瑞斯認為卓別林留下的遺產(chǎn)還遠不止如此。他稱卓別林是影史上“最重要的一位藝術(shù)家”。
