Charlie Chaplin is irresistible (无法抵御) because he is one of the first and most enduring (持久的) movie
stars, because he quickly gained creative and financial control (创作权和财政权) of his movies, because he
invented such a fascinating (引人入胜的) series of comic (喜剧的) films, because he experienced such a
stormy personal life, and because his 40-year filmmaking career in the United States was such a rollercoaster
ride of boom and bust.
Every few weeks outside the movie theater in virtually any American town in the late 1910s,stood the life-
size card board figure of small tramp-outfitted in tattered (破旧的), baggy (肥大的) pants, a cutaway coat
and vest(背心), impossibly large, worn-out shoes, and a battered derby (扁顶) hat-bearing the inscription (印
象) "I am here today." An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that precious,
almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot.
In a 1995 worldwide survey (调查) of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history.
He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process-founding his
own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting
(演员挑选人), directing, writing, and editing the movies he starred in.
In the first decade of the twentieth century, when weekly movie going was a national habit, Chaplin more
or less invented global recognizability (世人的赞扬) and helped turn an industry into an art. In 1916, his third
year in films, his salary of $10 000 a week made him the highest paid actor-possibly the highest paid person-in
the world.
By 1920, "Chaplinitis" accompanied (伴随) by a flood of Chaplin dances, songs, dolls, comic books and
cocktails, was rampant. Filmmakers Mack Sennett thought him "just the greatest artist who ever lived". Other
early admirers included George Bernard Shaw, Marcel Proust, and Sigmund Freud. In 1923 Hart Crane, who
wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime"represents the futile gesture (无用的) of the poet today".
Later in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation. From 1981 to 1987, IBM used the
Tramp as the logo to advertise its venture (冒险精神) into personal computers.
He has been called the single most influential artist in the history of motion pictures; certainly no other
movie star enjoyed the international, iconographic (象征性的) status (地位) he attained early in the silent era
and maintained (保持) well past the coming of sound. And certainly no other creative talent did as much as he
to elevate (提高) screen comedy to a high art.
of motion pictures?

I shook hands with my father in the truck，and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word.But I knew he was going to say a little to me.“I can’t tell anything，” he finally said.“I never went to college，and none of your brothers went to college.I can’t say don’t do this and do that，because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up.I can’t help much with money either，but I think things will work out.”
He gave me a new check?book.“If things get pushing，write a small check.But when you write one，send me a letter and let me know how much.There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars.My part?time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.
“You know what you want to be，and they’ll tell you what to take，” my father went on.“When you get a job，be sure it’s honest，and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town，and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old，broken Bible that he had read so often，the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours.I knew he would miss it.I knew，though，that I must take it.
He didn’t say read this every morning.He just said，“This can help you if you will let it.”
Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family.I have been able to make money since.
