[00:00.00]My name is Tommy Toon and I'm a big fan of entertainment . [00:01.91]我的名字叫托来·吐恩，我是个超级影迷， [00:03.82]I guess it's existed as long as people have gathered together to take time out from their everday lives. [00:06.75]我想娱乐自从人们能够从日常生活中抽出时间聚在一起共度时光以来便存在了， [00:09.68]All it requires is an audience and well,maybe some talent. [00:12.15]它需要的是一群观众，或许还需要点财富。 [00:14.62]Today there's entertainment on every side to suit every taste with so many stars one can hardly keep track, [00:18.34]当今世界有各种各样的娱乐来迎合各类不同的口味，而且明星如此之多，要保持对他们发展动态的热烈追踪可真不容易， [00:22.07]Imagine then a time when for more than five years,one small girl could grip the attention of an entire movie going world, [00:27.14]想象一下一个小女孩能够连续五年之多的时间里，受到整个娱乐界的垂青和瞩目，受到世界各阶层人们的爱慕，是多么不容易。 [00:32.22]could be adored by the high and the mighty and by millions of ordinary folk.

[00:52.24]似乎这不过是一个在特定的时代里出现了一个受欢迎的演员而已，但事实却不仅仅如此。 [00:55.91]Before and since there was never anyone else quite like her,she was the child star loved by an entire world ,her name was Shirley Temple. [01:02.33]无论以前还是以后无人能够与她相媲美，她是一位风靡全球的童星，她就是秀兰·邓波尔。 [01:08.76]For four years in a row form 1935 to 1938 Shirley Temple was the number one box office star in Hollywood , [01:13.28]1935年到1938年期间，有连续四年时间里秀兰·邓波尔是好莱坞最卖座的影星， [01:17.80]she was even more popular than Clark Gable,Robert Taylor,and GaryCooper , [01:20.73]好甚至比当时的当红明星克拉克·盖博、罗伯特·泰勒和加利·库柏更有名， [01:23.66]Because of her films ,her studio ,Fox,were saved from bankruptcy.

[01:49.98]这一点无论是在她的歌，她的舞，还是在她的表演中都表现出了，这就是她为什么如此受欢迎的原因。 [01:55.70]She was a product of the great depression . [01:57.14]她是美国经济大萧条时期的产物。 [01:58.58]President Franklin Delinor Roosevelt recognized her appeal when her said that it was a splendid thing , [02:01.68]美国总统富兰克林也意识到她的吸引力， [02:04.78]that for just fifteen cents,Americans can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a little girl and forget their troubles.
