Charlie Chaplin
查理•卓别林
In the early 1950s, Charlie Chaplin reportedly said he had "no further use for America" and "wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President".
据报道,在20世纪50年代初,查理•卓别林称他已经“不再需要美国”,还说“如果美国总统是上帝的话,那么他不会回去了”。
After a series of political controversies, personal scandals and falling audiences, he decided to hold the world premiere of Limelight in London, where the film was set, rather than the US, where he had settled.
在经历了一系列政治纠纷、个人丑闻和人气下滑之后,他决定在拍摄地伦敦举行《舞台春秋》的全球首映式,而没有选择自己的定居地美国。
Boarding the RMS Queen Elizabeth in New York in 1952, he received word that his re-entry permit had been revoked and he would have to be interviewed about his political views and moral behaviour if he wanted to return.
1952年,卓别林在纽约登上伊丽莎白皇后号时,收到消息称,他的入境许可已被吊销,如果还想回国,就必须接受关于其政治观点和道德行为的采访。
He said: "I have been the object of lies and propaganda by powerful reactionary groups who, by their influence and by the aid of America's yellow press, have created an unhealthy atmosphere in which liberal-minded individuals can be singled out and persecuted."
他说:“我一直是强大的反动团体欺骗和洗脑的对象,他们通过自己的影响力和美国低级报刊的协助,营造了一种不正之风,在这样的环境中,思想解放的个人将成为他们的目标并被迫害。
By 1972, feelings had softened on both sides and the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences offered Chaplin an honorary Oscar.
到1972年,双方态度有所缓和,美国电影艺术与科学学院为卓别林颁发了奥斯卡终身成就奖。
Chaplin was given a 12-minute standing ovation, the longest in the Academy's history, as he accepted his award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century".
卓别林“在让电影成为20世纪的艺术形式方面发挥了不可估量的影响”,他因此得奖,领奖时全场起立为其鼓掌长达12分钟,这是奥斯卡历史上时间最长的一次。
