Sweet-faced, curly-haired Shirley Temple was born in Santa Monica, California in April, 1928. She was enrolled (入學(xué)) in dance school at the age of three.
一頭卷發(fā)、長(zhǎng)相甜美的秀蘭·鄧波兒1928年四月出生于加利福尼亞州的圣塔莫尼卡市。她三歲就進(jìn)入舞蹈學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)。
By the age of six, she had been able to match the great Bill Robinson and tap-dance (跳踢踏舞) down the staircase (樓梯) in “The Little Colonel”. She found fame as a young girl in the 1930s in films like “Bright Eyes”, “Stand Up and Cheer” and “Curly Top”.
六歲的時(shí)候,她就已經(jīng)能在電影《小上?!防锱浜媳葼枴ち_賓遜,沿著寬大的樓梯跳踢踏舞。她在20世紀(jì)30年代年少成名,出演過(guò)《亮眼睛》、《起立歡呼》、《卷毛頭》等多部電影。
She acted in even better “Captain January”, for her role in which she got a special Academy Award in 1935, when she was just six years old. To this day (迄今), she is still the youngest person to receive an Academy Award. Between 1935 and 1938, her films had been tops for four years. No one would doubt that she could act if they watched her five different expressions while eating in “Poor Little Rich Girl”.
她在《一月船長(zhǎng)》這部電影中的表演更為精彩。憑借本片中的角色,她在1935年獲得了奧斯卡特別金像獎(jiǎng),當(dāng)時(shí)她年僅6歲。迄今,她仍是有史以來(lái)年齡最小的奧斯卡金像獎(jiǎng)獲得者。1935年至1938年間,她的電影一連四年穩(wěn)居票房榜首。只要看到她在《可憐的富家小女孩》中用叉子吃飯時(shí)的五種表情,沒有人會(huì)質(zhì)疑她的演技。
In the films, Temples sparkling (閃亮的;燦爛的) eyes fascinated (令……著迷) everyone; her shiny curls brought joy to everyone. Her genuine (純真的) smile of delight was the rare thing in Hollywood and even in the world. Her singing, dancing and acting won over fans worldwide. Audiences around the world flocked (蜂擁而至) to see their “Americas little darling” in films.
在電影中,鄧波兒明亮的眼睛讓每個(gè)人著迷;她閃亮的卷發(fā)為每個(gè)人帶來(lái)了歡樂(lè)。她純真快樂(lè)的笑容不僅在好萊塢十分少有,更是世間罕見。她的歌、舞蹈以及表演贏得了世界范圍內(nèi)粉絲們的喜愛。全世界的觀眾都蜂擁到電影院觀看這位“美國(guó)大眾小情人”的電影。
Her films were all about bringing grown-ups back together and melting (融化) frozen hearts. She cheered up (使……振作) the nation during the Great Depression (經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條) so that President Franklin D. Roosevelt called her “Little Miss Miracle” and said, “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right”.
她主演的電影主題都是讓成年人破鏡重圓,融化人們冰冷的內(nèi)心。她在經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條時(shí)期使美國(guó)人振奮精神,因此富蘭克林·羅斯??偨y(tǒng)管她叫做“奇跡小姐”,并且說(shuō)“只要我們的國(guó)家有秀蘭·鄧波兒,我們就會(huì)好起來(lái)的”。
Advertisers adored (崇拜;熱愛) Temple, from General Electric to soap to cars. Her face was on the food boxes, bowls and cups. She even had a drink named after her. After “Stand up and Cheer”, dolls wearing her polka-dot (圓點(diǎn)紋) dress appeared, and after “Bright Eyes”, the music “The Good Ship Lollipop” was on every piano, as well as in everyones brain.
鄧波兒是廣告商的寵兒,代言的產(chǎn)品從通用電氣、香皂到汽車。她的頭像被印在食物盒子上,碗上和水杯上。甚至還有一種飲料是用秀蘭·鄧波兒的名字命名的。電影《起立歡呼》上映后后,穿著她那身波點(diǎn)裙子的洋娃娃立即就面世了,而《亮眼睛》上映后,每臺(tái)鋼琴都會(huì)彈奏起《好船棒棒糖號(hào)》這首音樂(lè),每個(gè)人的腦海里都會(huì)回響著這段旋律。
Temple loved films, both then and years later, even when the cuteness (嬌小可愛) had gone but the dimples (酒窩) remained.
無(wú)論當(dāng)年還是日后,鄧波兒都熱愛電影,即使不再嬌小可愛,她依然有迷人的酒窩。
After retiring from films in 1950 at the age of 21, Temple returned to the public eye in politics. She unsuccessfully ran for Congress (議會(huì)) as a Republican (共和黨) in 1967. But, she was appointed as Americas ambassador (大使) to Ghana (加納) in 1974.
1950年,21歲的秀蘭·鄧波兒退出電影界,等再次回到人們的視線中時(shí)她已經(jīng)走上了政壇。她曾作為共和黨人在1967年國(guó)會(huì)議員競(jìng)選中失敗。但是后來(lái)在1974年,她被任命為美國(guó)駐加納大使。
In 1988, Temple Black became the first person to achieve the rank of honorary Foreign Service officer of the United States (美國(guó)榮譽(yù)外交官頭銜) and then she took up the post of ambassador to Czechoslovakia (捷克斯洛伐克) until 1992.
1988年,鄧波兒成為首個(gè)獲得美國(guó)榮譽(yù)外交官頭銜的人。之后,她擔(dān)任美國(guó)駐捷克斯洛伐克大使一職直到1992年。
In 1999, the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
1999年,美國(guó)評(píng)選出的50大銀幕傳奇人物榜單的25位女演員中,鄧波兒排名第18位。
