Charlie Chaplin

Hannah

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. His father was an entertainer and although not one of the big names, he was doing very well. His mother Hannah was also an entertainer. A wonderful mimic, she had a sweet, charming voice. While they were by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately the happy life didn't last long. Father's alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce, but Hannah was indomitable. Without her, Charlie Chaplin would have become just one more child lost in the poverty of Victorian London. Somehow she not only managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed but she conjured little treats for them. She would sit at the window watching the passersby and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, spinning tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
1889年4月16日查理·卓別林出生于倫敦。 他父親是一個(gè)演員,雖然不是什么大人物,但也表現(xiàn)不俗。 他母親哈那是一位出色的喜劇演員,嗓音甜美動(dòng)人。 雖然談不上富裕,可戲院的工作畢竟能使卓別林一家過(guò)上安逸的生活。 然而,幸福的生活并不長(zhǎng)久,父親對(duì)酒的嗜好緩慢地、但卻毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)地破壞著他的婚姻生活。 這樁婚姻最終以離婚而宣告結(jié)束,但哈娜是不會(huì)輕易認(rèn)輸?shù)摹?沒(méi)有母親,查理·卓別林充其量也只是維多利亞時(shí)期倫敦城里又一位窮困潦倒的兒童。 她不僅想方設(shè)法讓查理和弟弟西尼吃飽穿暖,保持干凈整潔,而且動(dòng)足腦筋變換方法,讓他們過(guò)得歡樂(lè)愉快。 她有時(shí)站在窗邊,注視行人,通過(guò)行人的外表和舉止猜測(cè)他們的性格,繼而仿造故事,逗查理和西尼樂(lè)。 查理繼承了母親的這點(diǎn),而這也正是他一生用之不盡的財(cái)富。
