Childhood: Shirley Temple
懵懂童年:秀兰·邓波儿
Before the age of 10, Shirley Temple enjoyed four years as the top box-office draw in America, earning an unprecedented $50, 000 per film from 20th Century Fox in the late 1930s. She gave definition to the term child star, which was the title of her autobiography.
不到10岁的秀兰·邓波儿在长达四年的时间里一直是最有票房号召力的明星。20世纪30年代晚期,她在20世纪福克斯公司(20th Century Fox)每部电影中的片酬达到史无前例的5万美元。她定义了“童星”一词,而这也是她自传的书名。
But early success often comes with the cost of devoting your childhood to hard work rather than play. Temple acted in four films a year at an age when ordinary children swing in the playground and master cursive writing.
但过早的成功往往伴随着把童年奉献给辛苦工作、而不是玩耍的代价。在普通孩子四处游玩和涂鸦的年纪,邓波儿每年就要参演4部电影。
