1.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.尽管如此,卓别林的喜剧乞丐形象并不显得那么像英国人,甚至也
没有劳动阶级的特色。
3.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,则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.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.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.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.
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
的挑战也做好了充分准备,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.但是人们不禁会感到,卓别林一定会把这一奇怪的事情看作是对他
的十分恰当的纪念。他以这种方式给这个自己曾带来那么多笑声的世界留下了
最后的笑声。

不仅容易使救济对象滥用权力,也很容易使福利提供者滥用权力。

孤独或许是这里的种民族弊病,它比起其他任何过错更加令人难以启齿.而
另一方面,故意选择独处,拒绝别人的陪伴而非为同伴所抛弃,这正是美国式英
雄的一个特点.
孤独的猎人,孤独的探险者,在鹿群和狼群中间冒险,去征服广袤的荒野,这时
他们并不需要有人陪伴.梭罗独居在湖畔的小屋,有意抛弃了城市生活.现在,
这成了你的个性.
独处的灵感是诗人和哲学家最有用的东西.他们都赞成独处.
也许你已经注意到,这些艺术家类型的人,大多是到户外独处,而家里则自有亲
人们备好了热茶,等着他们回家.
美国的独处高士是梭罗.我们钦佩他,并非因为他倡导自力更生精神,而是因为
他孤身一人在瓦尔登湖畔生活,这是他自己想要这么做的.他独居在湖畔的树
林中.
自由.你可以随意来去而无需道歉.
重要的是要在我们自身的条件下发现一些优雅和乐趣,不要做一个以自我为中
心的英国诗人,而要像一个被关在塔楼里的公主,耐心地等待着我们的童话故
事进入快乐的结局.
毕竟,事已至此,这或许不是我们所期望的局面,但眼下我们不妨称之为家吧.
不管怎么说,没有什么地方比家还好.
