About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrances of London theatres(剧院). He looked thin and hungry. 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 (所以) wandered (流浪) 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, best known, and best loved comedian (喜剧演员) in the world . Any regular (经常的) visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Charlie Chaplin's films. People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don' t understand English can enjoy Chaplin's films because they are mostly silent(无声的) . It isn' t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn' t depend upon words or language. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out without words of common(普通的) human situations(状况) plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It's a kind of world language.

　　Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
