英国流浪者并不留小胡子，也不穿肥大 的裤子或燕尾服：欧洲的领导人和意大利 的侍者才那样穿戴。另外，“流浪汉”瞟着 漂亮女孩的眼神也有些粗俗，被英国观众 认为不太正派──只有外国人才那样，不是 吗？而在卓别林大半的银幕生涯中，银幕 上的他是不出声的，也就无从证明他是英 国人。
Indeed, it was a headache for Chaplin when he could no longer resist the talking movies and had to find "the right voice" for his Tramp. He postponed that day as long as possible: In Modern Times in 1936, the first film in which he was heard as a singing waiter, he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. He later said he imagined the Tramp to be a college-educated gentleman who'd come down in the world.
事实上，当卓别林再也无法抵制有声电影，不 得不为他的“流浪汉”寻找“合适的声音”时，他确实 很头疼。他尽可能地推迟那一天的到来：在1936 年的《摩登时代》里，他第一次在影片里发声唱 歌。在片中，他扮演一名侍者，满口胡言乱语， 听起来不像任何国家的语言。后来他说，他想象 中的“流浪汉”是一位受过大学教育，但已经没落 的绅士。
先来看个
小电影
Sad to say, many English people in the 1920s and 1930s thought Chaplin's Tramp a bit, well, "crude". Certainly middle-class audiences did; the working-class audiences were more likely to clap for a character who revolted against authority, using his wicked little cane to trip it up, or aiellplaced kick at its broad rear. All the same, Chaplin's comic beggar didn't seem all that English or even working-class.
English tramps didn't sport tiny moustaches, huge pants or tail coats: European leaders and Italian waiters wore things like that. Then again, the Tramp's quick eye for a pretty girl had a coarse way about it that was considered, well, not quite nice by English audiences—that's how foreigners behaved, wasn't it? But for over half of his screen career, Chaplin had no screen voice to confirm his British nationality.
But if he'd been able to speak with an educated accent in those early short comedies, it's doubtful if he would have achieved world fame. And the English would have been sure to find it "odd". No one was certain whether Chaplin did it on purpose but this helped to bring about his huge success.

令人遗憾的是，20世纪二三十年代的很 多英国人认为卓别林的“流浪汉”多少有点“ 粗俗”。中产阶级当然这样认为。劳动阶层 反倒更有可能为这样一个反抗权势的角色 拍手喝彩：他以顽皮的小拐杖使绊子，或 用皮靴后跟对准权势者肥大的臀部踢一下 。尽管如此，卓别林的滑稽乞丐形象并不 那么像英国人，甚至也不像劳动阶级的人 。
doubtful a. 1. probably not true or not likely to happen 难以预料的 ，未定的 It is doubtful whether they ever reached the summit before they died. 他们不大可能在去世前登上过山顶。 2. having doubts about sth. 有疑问的，感到怀疑的 She looked rather doubtful. 她看上去很疑惑。
但假如他在早期那些短小的喜剧电影中能操一 口受教育人的口音，那么他是否会闻名世界就难 说了，而英国人也肯定会觉得这很“古怪”。没有 人知道卓别林这么干是不是有意的，但这促使他 获得了巨大的成功。
