Charlie Chaplin

Hannah

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. His father was an entertainer and although not one of the big names, he was doing very well. His mother Hannah was also an entertainer. A wonderful mimic, she had a sweet, charming voice. While they were by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately the happy life didn't last long. Father's alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce, but Hannah was indomitable. Without her, Charlie Chaplin would have become just one more child lost in the poverty of Victorian London. Somehow she not only managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed but she conjured little treats for them. She would sit at the window watching the passersby and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, spinning tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.
1889年4月16日查理·卓别林出生于伦敦。 他父亲是一个演员，虽然不是什么大人物，但也表现不俗。 他母亲哈那是一位出色的喜剧演员，嗓音甜美动人。 虽然谈不上富裕，可戏院的工作毕竟能使卓别林一家过上安逸的生活。 然而，幸福的生活并不长久，父亲对酒的嗜好缓慢地、但却毫无疑问地破坏着他的婚姻生活。 这桩婚姻最终以离婚而宣告结束，但哈娜是不会轻易认输的。 没有母亲，查理·卓别林充其量也只是维多利亚时期伦敦城里又一位穷困潦倒的儿童。 她不仅想方设法让查理和弟弟西尼吃饱穿暖，保持干净整洁，而且动足脑筋变换方法，让他们过得欢乐愉快。 她有时站在窗边，注视行人，通过行人的外表和举止猜测他们的性格，继而仿造故事，逗查理和西尼乐。 查理继承了母亲的这点，而这也正是他一生用之不尽的财富。
