35. Later Life of Charlie Chaplin

35. 查理·卓别林的晚年生活

After failure of the third marriage in 1942, He had met a young woman, the daughter of the great American playwright, Eugene O'Neill. She was only 17 years old and she and Charlie had fallen deeply in love. Her name was Oona. And now it was 1945, after the World War II, America had become affected by a kind of madness, an obsessive fear and hatred of Communism. Charlie became the victim of this persecution. On his way to London for the premiere of the film Limelight, the US Attorney General had forbidden Chaplin re-entry to the United States. He was an exile.

第三次婚姻失败以后，1942年他遇识了一位年轻的女郎，她是美国著名剧作家尤金·奥尼尔的女儿。她才17岁，却与查理相亲相爱，难舍难分。她，名叫奥娜。1945年的美国己弥漫开对共产主义的疯狂仇视和困恼。卓别林成为这次迫害的牺牲品。在赴伦敦举行《舞台生涯》首映典礼的路上，美国司法部长宣布禁止卓别林再度入境美国。他成了一位流亡者。

He was received warmly welcome in London and hailed as a genius. In the US, the vicious attacks continued, Charlie couldn't go back, and the family left for Switzerland. In January 1953, they settled in the beautiful house at Corsier-sur-Vevey that was to be Charlie's home for the rest of his life.

查理在伦敦受到盛情欢迎，被兴高采烈的人们捧为天才。然而在美国，对他的恶毒攻击仍在继续。查理无法返回，于是合家迁居就士。1953年1月，他们在坐落于维也纳成城科西尔的漂亮宅院里定居下来，查理在那里度过了余生。

Though America had denounced Charlie, he had his family-and the acclaim of the rest of the world. In 1945 when McCarthy and his henchmen was discovered that they had been faking evidence. Now America opened its arms to Charlie once more and he showered with awards.

尽管美国对查理横加指责，他却拥有一个团聚的家庭，还享有世界其他各国的赞誉。1945年，麦卡锡及同伙，已经变得声名狼藉，因为他们一直作伪证的事被揭发出来。于是美国又向查理展开了欢迎的双臂，给予他的各种奖励也纷至沓来。

In 1975, just before his eighty-sixth birthday, Charlie, who had been one of the London's "infant poor" was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

1975年86岁前，过去曾是维多利亚时代伦敦“儿童济贫院”小孩之一的查理，被英国女王伊丽莎白二世加封爵位。

After a life of incredibly hard work, of great and great sorrows and trials, Charlie seemed to have entered a golden time. He was becoming frail, but loved to work as always.

一生中异常勤奋地工作、取得辉煌成就和历经艰难困苦的查理，好似步入了人生黄金时代。尽管他身体渐趋虚弱，但仍一如既往地热爱工作。

"To work is to live-and I love to live."

他说：“工作就是生活，我热爱生活。”

On the morning of Christmas, 1977, when it was time to wake him and to wish him a happy Christmas, it was found that Charlie had died in his sleep. He was eighty-eight years old.

1977年圣诞节早晨，该唤醒他并祝他圣诞快乐的时候，他被发现已在睡眠中安然注世，享年88岁。

It was a good day for someone who had given so much laughter and encouragement to the world to slip.

对一位曾给世界人民带来如此之多的欢笑和鼓舞的人而言，这一天无疑是悄然谢世的好日子。
