Sweet-faced, curly-haired Shirley Temple was born in Santa Monica, California in April, 1928. She was enrolled (入学) in dance school at the age of three.
一头卷发、长相甜美的秀兰・邓波儿1928年四月出生于加利福尼亚州的圣塔莫尼卡市。她三岁就进入舞蹈学校学习。
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 (楼梯) 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”.
六岁的时候,她就已经能在电影《小上校》里配合比尔・罗宾逊,沿着宽大的楼梯跳踢踏舞。她在20世纪30年代年少成名,出演过《亮眼睛》、《起立欢呼》、《卷毛头》等多部电影。
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《一月船长》这部电影中的表演更为精彩。凭借本片中的角色,她在1935年获得了奥斯卡特别金像奖,当时她年仅6岁。迄今,她仍是有史以来年龄最小的奥斯卡金像奖获得者。1935年至1938年间,她的电影一连四年稳居票房榜首。只要看到她在《可怜的富家小女孩》中用叉子吃饭时的五种表情,没有人会质疑她的演技。
In the films, Temple’s sparkling (闪亮的;灿烂的) eyes fascinated (令……着迷) everyone; her shiny curls brought joy to everyone. Her genuine (纯真的) 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 (蜂拥而至) to see their “America’s little darling” in films.
在电影中,邓波儿明亮的眼睛让每个人着迷;她闪亮的卷发为每个人带来了欢乐。她纯真快乐的笑容不仅在好莱坞十分少有,更是世间罕见。她的歌、舞蹈以及表演赢得了世界范围内粉丝们的喜爱。全世界的观众都蜂拥到电影院观看这位“美国大众小情人”的电影。
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 (经济大萧条) 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”.
她主演的电影主题都是让成年人破镜重圆,融化人们冰冷的内心。她在经济大萧条时期使美国人振奋精神,因此富兰克林・罗斯福总统管她叫做“奇迹小姐”,并且说“只要我们的国家有秀兰・邓波儿,我们就会好起来的”。
Advertisers adored (崇拜;热爱) 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 (圆点纹) dress appeared, and after “Bright Eyes”, the music “The Good Ship Lollipop” was on every piano, as well as in everyone’s brain.
邓波儿是广告商的宠儿,代言的产品从通用电气、香皂到汽车。她的头像被印在食物盒子上,碗上和水杯上。甚至还有一种饮料是用秀兰・邓波儿的名字命名的。电影《起立欢呼》上映后后,穿着她那身波点裙子的洋娃娃立即就面世了,而《亮眼睛》上映后,每台钢琴都会弹奏起《好船棒棒糖号》这首音乐,每个人的脑海里都会回响着这段旋律。
Temple loved films, both then and years later, even when the cuteness (娇小可爱) had gone but the dimples (酒窝) remained.
无论当年还是日后,邓波儿都热爱电影,即使不再娇小可爱,她依然有迷人的酒窝。
After retiring from films in 1950 at the age of 21, Temple returned to the public eye in politics. She unsuccessfully ran for Congress (议会) as a Republican (共和***) in 1967. But, she was appointed as America’s ambassador (大使) to Ghana (加纳) in 1974.
1950年,21岁的秀兰・邓波儿退出电影界,等再次回到人们的视线中时她已经走上了***坛。她曾作为共和***人在1967年国会议员竞选中失败。但是后来在1974年,她被任命为美国驻加纳大使。
In 1988, Temple Black became the first person to achieve the rank of honorary Foreign Service officer of the United States (美国荣誉外交官头衔) and then she took up the post of ambassador to Czechoslovakia (捷克斯洛伐克) until 1992.
1988年,邓波儿成为首个获得美国荣誉外交官头衔的人。之后,她担任美国驻捷克斯洛伐克大使一职直到1992年。
In 1999, the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.
1999年,美国评选出的50大银幕传奇人物榜单的25位女演员中,邓波儿排名第18位。
