About the year 1900,a dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen
waiting outside the back entrances of london theatres.He looked thin.He was
hoping to get work in show business.He could sing and dance,and above all,he
knew how to make people laugh.But he couldn't get work and therefore wandered
about the city streets.Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who
had no parents.
But twenty years later,this same Chaplin became the greatest,beat-
known,and best-loved comedian(喜剧演员）in the world.Any regular visitor to
the cinema,must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin's films.People everywhere
have hat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces.Even people
who don't understand English can enjoy his films,because they are mostly
silent.It isn't what he says that makes us laugh.His comedy doesn't depend on
words or language.It depends on little actions which mean the thing to people
all over the world.Acting out whitout words words,of common human situations
plays an important part in the dances and plays in many countries.It'sa kind
of the world language.
