He has a reputation for constantly encountering awkward situations, which greatly amuses audiences of all nationalities and cultures. His humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language that is universal. 憨豆先生是一个国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于总是遇到尴尬的情 境，使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉得非常好笑。憨豆先生的幽默总 是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表达出来，完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界 都能理解的方式。One of my favourite episodes was Mr Bean in a fancy restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, puts it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.我喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐厅里安排就座后，憨 豆先生拿出一张卡片，在上面写了几个字，塞进信封，放在桌子上。过了一会儿， 他再看那信封，露出惊讶的表情，好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后，发现 是张生日贺卡，他便高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。When he looks at the menu, an astonished look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer. He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called usteak tartare . When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face as he is chewing that he finds the taste truly awful. He cannot hide his feelings, except when the waiters ask if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, indicating that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reachthe sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bread roll and under a plate. He becomes so desperate in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant' s violinist!看菜单时，憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来, 数了数，放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单，一会儿看看钱，最终找到了一 种食物，脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“勒靶牛肉”。可上菜的时候，憨豆 先生惊讶地发现“粒粗牛肉”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝，从他那咀嚼的表情就 能看出，这东西一点都不好吃。他无法掩饰自己的感觉，除了在服务员问他是否 一切满意时。服务员问他的时候，他笑着点点头，装作一切都好的样子。然而, 当服务员没有注意的时候，他却忙着把生肉藏到任何地方一一糖碗、小花瓶、小 面包卷里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施，居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包 里，塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里！I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldn' t want to meet someone like him in real life, and I certainly wouldn, t want to have dinner with him! 我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生，却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人，更不想 和他共进晚餐！TEXT 2 The Contemporary Chaplin当代卓别林Rowan Atkinson is an English actor, comedian and screenwriter. In Britain, Mr Atkinson is mostly famous for many successful TV shows but internationally we know him best as the awkward, clumsy, but always amusing Mr Bean. If you think that Rowan Atkinson is anything like his famous creation, then you are in for a surprise. On the contrary, he is nothing like Mr Bean.罗温艾金森，英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气主要源于他参演 了很多著名影视剧。但在国际上，我们所熟悉的他是那个尴尬、笨拙，总能把人 逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温艾金森和他扮演的憨豆先生角色一样，那你 一定会感到惊讶。相反，他本人实际上一点也不像憨豆先生。Rowan was born on 6 January, 1955. He grew up on a farm with his parents and three older brothers. His father was very strict and did not believe in the value of television.罗温出生于1955年1月6日，随父母在农场长大，家中有三个哥哥。他的父亲 非常严厉，不相信电视的价值。Rowan had a very successful academic career. At the age of 13, he was awarded a scholarship to a boarding school. Later, he studied at Newcastle University where he attained the highest marks in his year. At Oxford, he obtained his master, s degree in electrical engineering. This may explain why he loves fast cars, of which he has many.罗温的学生生涯非常成功。他13岁就获得了一所寄宿学校的奖学金，之后就读 于纽卡斯尔大学，并以专业第一名的优异成绩毕业。随后，他又取得牛津大学电 机工程硕士学位。这也许是他为什么那么喜欢跑车，而且收藏了很多跑车的原因 吧。When Rowan was young, he had a stutter and to make his speech clearer, he began to speak very carefully. This may be why some of his characters have unusual ways of speaking.罗温小时候有口吃的毛病，为了讲话更清楚，他说话格外仔细。这也是他所塑造 的一些角色讲话方式与众不同的原因。As early as primary school, Rowan had already shown a talent for acting, but it was only later at university that he decided to become an actor. A key event occurred one day in 1976 when he was playing around and pulling a face in the mirror. "I discovered my face, “ he said later. 早在小学时，罗温就表现出了表演天赋，但直到大学毕业,他才决定当一名演员。 1976年的一天发生了一件关键的事情，闲玩之中他对着镜子做鬼脸。后来他说， “那天，我发现了自己的另一副面孔。”John Lloyd, who worked as a producer for BBC Television, says that one rarely meets someone with such genius, and that when he worked with Atkinson he became convinced that Rowan wou 1 d be more famous than Charlie Chaplin.英国广播公司电视台的制片人约翰劳埃德说，遇到这样的天才很难得，与罗温 的合作使他相信罗温会比查理卓别林更出名。
