 A famous writer who was visiting Japan was invited to give a lecture at a university to a large group of students. As most of the students couldn't understand spoken English, he had to have an interpreter(口语翻译).

 During his lecture he told an interesting story which went on for rather a long time. At last he stopped to allow the interpreter to translate it into Japanese, and was very surprised when the man did this in a few seconds, after which all the students laughed loudly.

 After the lecture, the writer thanked the interpreter for his good work and then said to him, Now, please tell me how you translated that long story of mine into a short Japanese one.

 “I didn't tell the story at all, the interpreter answered with a smile, I just said, The honourable lecturer has just told a funny story. You will all laugh, please.

At first all films were in black and white, but in 1932 the first color film was made. It proved as unpopular as making films had done in the late 1920’s. It was not until 1938 that a full length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers(制片人) everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated (翻译)into ten different languages and made Hollywood(好莱坞)the main center( 中心)of film industry(电影业)
In the early days of the cinema, other countries had also film industries. Very good films were made in Sweden, Britain, Russia and France. However, because Holleywood had so much money to spend, it kept its position as the world’s most important film center. Film actors went to America because they knew they could get a lot of money for every film they made. In 1918 Charlie Chaplin (查理·卓别林)received $5 each day.
However, life was not always easy for the film actors. Newspapermen followed them everywhere, and after Charlie Chapine married for the fourth time he became so unpopular with the American public that he had to leave the country and live in Europe.
