Charlie Chaplin is a great comic for his native land Britain, but even more so for the world. On the
stage he often wore tiny moustaches, huge pants and tailcoats that were perhaps more characteristic of
Europeans and may be not much of the British. Since more than half of the roles Chaplin played were
in silent films, people throughout the world had no difficulty understanding his films. With sound
movies, Chaplin created a nonsense language that sounded like no known nationality and was accepted
and appreciated by people all over the world. For most of his lifetime he did not stay in his mother
country; he traveled throughout the world to appear on stage for people of different nationalities.

Compare the new welfare system with the old one and you would find a world of difference between
the two. Under the new welfare system, the law encourages welfare clients to work on their own for a
gradual shift away from welfare, and this is not the case in the past. Welfare clients now can develop
their talents to make money. In the past, they often cheated to bleed the system for a few extra dollars.
Now caseworkers will gladly help their clients find appropriate jobs rather than act like detectives to
try to seek out any unreported properties. Today many welfare clients have made a choice to live a life
of complete honesty and they tell the truth to caseworkers and declare any extra income they make.
In cases like this, caseworkers will feel greatly relieved because they don't need to search for any
cheating as in the past.

XV. Some people prefer to live alone whereas some others have to live alone for one reason or another.
Those people believing in inspirational solitude argue that no companion is more companionable than
solitude. Literary giants such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry Thoreau enjoyed living
alone on purpose. Hunters or explorers enjoy themselves as they venture out to tame the great wild
areas. On the other hand, there are some other people who have to live alone due to various reasons:
being divorced, widowed or never married. Many of them feel bitter to live in solitude. They have no
one to talk to and as a result they talk at length to themselves and to their pets and to the television.

Typically there are two kinds of people who choose to live alone on purpose. The first group of people
is artists. They believe in the inspiration in solitude. One of my friends is a writer. He enjoys the time
when he is alone because he can stay up late to read and, above all, concentrate on his writing without
fear of being interrupted by others. On his wall he posts a quotation from Thoreau: "I never found
the companion that was so companionable as solitude." The second group consists of people who
are disappointed with their marriage or family life. A woman I know has been living alone since her
husband left her five years ago. She is not waiting for his return but she is just disappointed with life.

Then he presented it to the minister in charge of transportation. This minister examined its contents，
pretending he didn’t see the check at all．Then he said with a smile："Young man，I hear London is at

From Gouvernail's talk, Mrs. Baroda came to know that his periods of silence were not his basic nature, but the result of moods.

7. 令加斯顿高兴的是，他妻子终于不讨厌古韦内尔了，主动提出邀请他再来。

To Gaston's delight, his wife had finally overcome her dislike for Gouvernail and invited Gouvernail to visit them again wholly from herself.

8. 巴罗达太太对古韦内尔令人迷惑的性格颇为不解，并觉得很难打破他这种并非有意的沉默。

Mrs. Baroda felt confused with Gouvernail's puzzling nature and found it hard to penetrate the silence in which he had unconsciously covered himself.

1. After a few days, when she could understand him no better than at first, she left her husband and his guest, for the most part, alone together.

几年后在一起待了几天，她仍感到对这个客人很陌生，只得大部分时间让丈夫陪着他。

2. Gaston pulled the sleeve of his wife's dress, gathered his arms around her waist and looked merrily into her troubled eyes.

加斯顿拉了拉妻子的衣袖，双手搂着她的腰，快乐地望着她那充满困惑的眼睛。

3. He seated himself upon the bench beside her, without a suspicion that she might object to his presence.

他在她身旁的长凳上坐下，丝毫不曾想到她可能会反对他坐在那儿。

4. 这种对具体事物的发挥转化，以及他一次又一次做出这种转化的技巧，正是卓别林伟大喜剧的奥秘

This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, are surely the secrets of Chaplin's great comedy.

5. 而这种吃惊唤起了他的想像。卓别林并没有把他的笑料事先写成文字。他是那种边表演边根据身体感觉去创造艺术的喜剧演员。

But that shock roused his imagination. Chaplin didn’t have his jokes written into a script in advance; he was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along.

6. 他也深切地渴望被爱，也相应地害怕遭到背叛。这两者很难结合在一起，有时这种冲突导致了灾难，就像他早期的几次婚姻那样。

A 但只有查理?卓别林才能塑造出了不起的喜剧角色“流浪者”，这个使其创作者声名永驻的衣衫褴褛的小人物。

2. All the same, Chaplin's comic beggar didn't seem all that English or even working class.

尽管如此，卓别林的喜剧乞丐形象并不那么像英国人，甚至也没有劳动阶级的特色。

3. But if he'd been able to speak with an educated accent in those early short comedy movies, it's doubtful if he would have achieved world fame — and the English would have been sure to find it "odd".

但假如他在早期那些短小喜剧电影中能操一口受过教育的人的口音，那么他是否会闻名世界就值得怀疑了，而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。

4. He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along.

随着事业的发展，他感到了一种冲动要去发掘并扩展自己身上所显露的天才。

5. Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make "contact" with himself as an artist.

没有生命的物体特别有助于卓别林发挥自己艺术家的天赋。

6. Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations.

然而即使是这种以沉重代价换来的自知之明也在他的喜剧创作中得到了表现。

7. As Oona herself was the child of a large family with its own problems, she was well-prepared for the battle that Chaplin's life became as unfounded rumors of Marxist sympathies surrounded them both — and, later on, she was the center of rest in the quarrels that Chaplin sometimes sparked in their own large family of talented children.

由于沃娜本人出生在一个被各种麻烦困扰的大家庭，她对卓别林生活中将面临的挑战也作好了充分准备，因为当时有毫无根据的流言说他俩是马克思主义的同情者。后来在他们自己的有那么多天才孩子的大家庭中，卓别林有时会引发争吵，而她则成了安宁的中心。

8. But one can't help feeling Chaplin would have regarded this strange incident as a fitting memorial — his way of having the last laugh on a world to which he had given so many.

但是人们不禁会感到，卓别林一定会把这一奇怪的事件看作是对他的十分恰当的纪念。他以这种方式给这个自己曾带来这么多笑声的世界留下最后的笑声。

7. There is no provision in the law for a gradual shift away from welfare.

实际上，那种认为某一种群比另一种群的基因更优越的理论是毫无科学根据的。

3. And to ensure the populations were “pure”, the study was confined to groups that were in their present locations as of 1492, before the first major movements from Europe began — in effect, a genetic photo of the world when Columbus sailed for America.

为了确保种群的“纯正”，这项研究将对象限定于其目前的生活区域仍与1492年以来相同的那些群体，即在来自欧洲最初的大规模迁移之前。这实际上就是一幅真实的哥伦布驶向美洲时期的世界人口基因分布图。

4. What the eye sees as racial differences — between Europeans and Africans, for example — are mainly a way to adapt to climate as humans moved from one continent to another.

我们眼中看到的人种差异，例如欧洲人与非洲人的差异，主要是人类从一个大陆向另一个大陆迁移时为适应气候所产生的。
