About the year 1900, a small dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres. He looked thin and hungry, but his blue eyes were determined(堅定的). He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh.
His own father had died from drinking too much. And his mother wasn’t really able to look after Charlie. She was often sick in mind and had to be sent to hospital. So he was sent to a home for children who had no parents. He was cold and poor there and the children were punished for small mistakes.
Thirty years later this same Charlie Chaplin became the king of comedy. Many people must have seen some of his films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until tears flowed down their eyes. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. It isn’t what he said that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. From his very first appearance they know what to expect from the modest little man with the black moustache(小胡子), wide-open eyes, round black hat and shoes too large for his feet.
