最喜欢的电影明星周星驰英语作文
最喜欢的电影明星周星驰英语作文My Favorite Movie Star Jackie ChanDo you like action movies? I love them! They are so exciting with all the cool fighting scenes, stunts, and special effects. My favorite action movie star is Jackie Chan. He's a kung fu master who does all his own stunts and stunts are the best part of his movies!Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong in 1954. His real name is Chan Kong-sang. He started training in the Peking Opera as a little kid at the China Drama Academy. The Peking Opera isn't like an regular opera with just singing. It includes martial arts, acting, and acrobatics too. Jackie had to practice for many hours every day. The training was very strict but it taught him amazing skills like how to fight with swords and spears, do flips and high kicks, and fall from great heights without getting hurt. His skills made him the perfect action movie star when he grew up!The first movies Jackie made were kung fu action flicks in Hong Kong in the 1970s. My favorite Hong Kong Jackie Chan movies are Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, Drunken Master, and The Young Master. In the Drunken Master, Jackie plays a young guy named Wong Fei-hung who has to learn a special drunkenboxing style to fight off bad guys. He looks so silly staggering around pretending to be drunk, but then he busts out these crazy moves! The fight scenes where he's wobbling and falling down but still kicking butt are hilarious. I loved that movie.After he became a big star in Hong Kong, Jackie Chan started making movies in Hollywood too. His first big American hit was Rumble in the Bronx in 1995. I'll never forget the scene where he's hanging onto the side of a rocket-powered motor hovercraft going like a hundred miles an hour! That's some crazy stunt work right there. He must have been terrified but he never uses a stunt double. Jackie Chan does it all for real which makes the stunts and fight choreography look so much cooler.My all-time favorite Jackie Chan movie is Rush Hour from 1998. Jackie teams up with a loud-mouthed Los Angeles police detective named Carter played by Chris Tucker. Carter has to work with Jackie who is a Hong Kong police inspector to rescue a friend's kidnapped daughter. The two of them just don't get along at first and they have the funniest arguments! But eventually they become a great crime-fighting duo using Jackie's martial arts skills along with Carter's tough police work. I loved seeing the odd couple pairing of the laid-back Jackie contrastedwith the hotheaded Chris Tucker. They made such a hilarious team.The stunts and fight scenes in Rush Hour were justmind-blowing. I've watched the highway chase scene like a million times where Jackie is jumping from car to car on the highway while they're all going full speed! And he takes out a whole van full of bad guys all by himself using everything he can grab – punches, kicks, a sledgehammer, even a freakin' ladder! There's no CGI or camera tricks either. Jackie did all those wild stunts for real just like he always does.That final showdown when Jackie and Carter infiltrate the bad guys' convention center lair and take on the seemingly endless stream of henchmen was pure action magic. The fight choreography and stuntwork coordinating all those complex moves with like 20 guys at once was just flawless. And hilarious too with Jackie's trademark moves like that shaky drunken style he mixes in with his kickboxing skills. Jackie made it all look simultaneously intense yet funny and effortless. That's what makes him the greatest action comedy movie star ever!I could watch Rush Hour again and again just for thenon-stop laughs, excitement and insane stunts. I don't know how Jackie did half that crazy stuff like when he hung off thatdouble-decker tour bus by his foot or when he swung that hostage from a fire hose between two buildings. No way I could ever do stunts like that! But Jackie makes it look easy because he's been practicing kung fu gymnastics and stunts since he was a little kid. The lifetime of acrobatic training is what makes the 65-year-old Jackie Chan still the best practitioner of movie stuntwork today.People might think that computer-generated special effects have made human stuntmen obsolete. But CGI can never capture the charisma, humor and real physical skill of Jackie Chan doing the stunts for real. His work feels more thrilling and intense because you can see it's an actual person risking his life doing those stunts, not just an animator's creation. The outtakes of Jackie Chan's stunts gone wrong where he crashes or gets banged up show just how much real effort and danger goes into capturing those awesome stunts on film.Beyond his stunt abilities, Jackie Chan is also a true movie star because he's an incredible all-around performer. He's a legit actor who can do comedy, drama, romance - anything. Jackie starred in some really serious dramatic films like Crime Story and The Young Master where he showed his emotional acting range too. And on top of that, he's also an amazing martial artschoreographer, director, producer, screenwriter and singer too! He sings the theme songs for all his movies in addition to staging the action scenes. Talk about a multi-talented renaissance man!When you watch a Jackie Chan film, you're not just getting mind-blowing physical stunts. You're getting a full, entertaining movie experience with real heart and humor thanks to Jackie's charismatic screen presence and creative vision. Whether he's doing bone-crunching martial arts sequences, hilarious slapstick comedy, or heartfelt emotional scenes, Jackie Chan always gives 110%. His work ethic, skills, and commitment to entertaining audiences while constantly pushing himself is just so inspiring. That's why at 65 years old, he remains my favorite movie star of all time.If you've never seen a Jackie Chan movie, I highly recommend you check one out, like Rumble in the Bronx or Rush Hour. You'll get to experience the greatest stuntman and action comedy star who ever lived! With his fancy footwork, comedic timing, and willingness to put his body on the line, Jackie Chan is simply unmatched. He's one of a kind. I'll never get tired of watching his stunts because each one is a real-life superhuman feat. Maybe when I grow up I'll be a stuntman like Jackie Chan! Thanks for being awesome, Jackie!。

《中英天津条约》英文版内容一I.The Treaty of Peace and Amity between the two nations, signed at Nanking on the 29th day of August, in the year 1842, is hereby renewed and confirmed.The Supplementary Treaty and General Regulations of Trade having been amended and improved, and the substance of their provisions having been incorporated in this Treaty, the said Supplementary Treaty and General Regulations of Trade are hereby abrogated.II.For the better preservation of harmony in future, Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and His Majesty the Emperor of China mutually agree that, in accordance with the universal practice of great and friendly nations, Her Majesty the Queen, may, if she see fit, appoint ambassadors, ministers, or other diplomatic agents to the Court of Peking; and His Majesty the Emperor of China may, in like manner, if he see fit, appoint ambassadors, ministers, or other diplomatic agents to the Court of St. James.III.His Majesty the Emperor of China hereby agrees that the ambassador, minister, or other diplomatic agent, so appointed by Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, may reside, with his family and establishment, permanently at the capital, or may visit it occasionally, at the option of the British Government. He shall not be called upon to perform any ceremony derogatory to him as representing the Sovereign of an independent nation on a footing of equality with that of China. On the other hand, he shall use the same forms of ceremony and respect to His Majesty the Emperor as are employed by the ambassadors, ministers, or diplomatic agents of Her Majesty towards the Sovereigns of independent and equal European nations.It is further agreed, that Her Majesty's Government may acquire at Peking a site for building, or may hire houses for the accommodation of Her Majesty's Mission, and that the Chinese Government will assist it in so doing.Her Majesty's Representative shall be at liberty to choose his own servants and attendants, who shall not be subjected to any kind of molestation whatever.Any person guilty of disrespect or violence to Her Majesty's Representative, or to any member of his family or establishment, in deed or word, shall be severely punished.IV.It is further agreed, that no obstacle or difficulty shall be made to the free movements of Her Majesty's Representative, and that he, and the persons of his suite, may come and go, and travel at their pleasure. He shall, moreover, have full liberty to send and receive hiscorrespondence, to and from any point on the sea-coast that he may select; and his letters and effects shall be held sacred and inviolable. He may employ, for their transmission, special couriers, who shall meet with the same protection and facilities for travelling as the persons employed in carrying despatches for the Imperial Government; and, generally, he shall enjoy the same privileges as are accorded to officers of the same rank by the usage and consent of Western nations.All expenses attending the Diplomatic Mission of Great Britain in China shall be borne by the British Government.V.His Majesty the Emperor of China agrees to nominate one of the Secretaries of State, or a President of one of the Boards, as the high officer with whom the ambassador, minister, or other diplomatic agent of Her Majesty the Queen shall transact business, either personally or in writing, on a footing of perfect equality.VI.Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain agrees that the privileges hereby secured shall be enjoyed in her dominions by the ambassadors, ministers, or diplomatic agents of the Emperor of China, accredited to the Court of Her Majesty.VII.Her Majesty the Queen may appoint one or more Consuls in the dominions of the Emperor of China; and such Consul or Consuls shall be at liberty to reside in any of the open ports or cities of China, as Her Majesty the Queen may consider most expedient for the interests of British commerce. They shall be treated with due respect by the Chinese authorities, and enjoy the same privileges and immunities as the Consular officers of the most favoured nation . . . .VIII.The Christian religion, as professed by Protestants or Roman Catholics, inculcates the practice of virtue, and teaches man to do as he would be done by. Persons teaching or professing it, therefore, shall alike be entitled to the protection of the Chinese authorities, nor shall any such, peaceably pursuing their calling, and not offending against the law, be persecuted or interfered with.IX.British subjects are hereby authorized to travel, for their pleasure or for purposes of trade, to all parts of the interior, under passports which will be issued by their Consuls, and countersigned by the local authorities. These passports, if demanded, must be produced for examination in the localities passed through. If the passport be not irregular, the bearer will be allowed to proceed, and no opposition shall be offered to his hiring persons or hiring vessels for the carriage of his baggage or merchandize. If he be without a passport, or if he commit any offence against the law, he shall be handed over to the nearest Consul for punishment; but he must not be subjected to any ill-usage in excess of necessary restraint. No passport need be applied for by persons going on excursions from the ports open to trade to a distance not exceeding 100 li, and for a period not exceeding days.The provisions of this Article do not apply to crews of ships, for the due restraint of whom regulations will be drawn up by the Consul and the local authorities.To Nanking, and other cities disturbed by persons in arms against the Government, no pass shall be given, until they shall have been recaptured.X.British merchant ships shall have authority to trade upon the Great River (Yang-tse). The Upper and Lower Valley of the river being, however, disturbed by outlaws, no port shall be for the present opened to trade, with the exception of Chin-kiano, which shall be opened in a year from the date of the signing of this Treaty.So soon as peace shall have been restored, British vessels shall also be admitted to trade at such ports as far as Han-kow, not exceeding three in number, as the British Minister, after consultation with the Chinese Secretary of State, may determine shall be ports of entry and discharge.XI.In addition to the cities and towns of Canton, Amoy, Fuchow, Ningpo, and Shanghai, opened by the Treaty of Nanking, it is agreed that British subjects may frequent the cities and ports of New Chwang, Tang-Chow, Tai-Wan (Formosa), Chau-Chow (Swatow), and Kiung-Chow (Hainan).They are permitted to carry on trade with whomsoever they please, and to proceed to and fro at pleasure with their vessels and merchandise.They shall enjoy the same privileges, advantages, and immunities, at the said towns and ports, as they enjoy at the ports already opened to trade, including the right of residence, of buying or renting houses, of leasing land therein, and of building churches, hospitals, and cemeteries.XII.British subjects, whether at the ports or at other places, desiring to build or open houses, warehouses, churches, hospitals, or burialgrounds, shall make their agreement for the land or buildings they require, as the rates prevailing among the people, equitably, and wtihout exactions on either side.XIII.The Chinese Government will place no restrictions whatever upon the employment, by British subjects, of Chinese subjects in any lawful capacity.British subjects may hire whatever boats they please for the transport of goods or passengers, and the sum to be paid for such boats shall be settled between the parties themselves, without the interference of the Chinese Government. The number of these boats shall not be limited, nor shall a monopoly in respect either of the boats, or of the porters or coolies engaged in carrying the goods, be granted to any parties. If any smuggling takes place in them, the offenders will, of course, be punished according to law . . . .XV.All questions in regard to rights, whether of property or person, arising between British subjects, shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the British authorities.XVI.Chinese subjects who may be guilty of any criminal act towards British subjects shall be arrested and punished by the Chinese authorities, according to the laws of China.British subjects who may commit any crime in China shall be tried and punished by the Consul, or other public functionary authorized thereto, according to the laws of Great Britain.Justice shall be equitably and impartially administered on both sides.XVII.A British subject having reason to complain of a Chinese, must proceed to the Consulate, and state his grievance. The Consul will inquire into the merits of the case, and do his utmost to arrange it amicably. In like manner if a Chinese have reason to complain of a British subject, the Consul shall no less listen to his complaint, and endeavour to settle it in a friendly manner. If disputes take place of such a nature that the Consul cannot arrange them amicably, then he shall request the assistance of the Chinese authorities, that they may together examine into the merits of the case, and decide it equitably.XVIII.The Chinese authorities shall at all times afford the fullest protection to the persons and property of British subjects, whenever these shall have been subjected to insult or violence. In all cases of incendiarism or robbery, the local authorities shall at once take the necessary steps for the recovery of the stolen property, the suppression of disorder, and the arrest of the guilty parties, whom they will punish according to law.XIX.If any British merchant-vessel, while within Chinese waters, be plundered by robbers or pirates, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities to use every endeavour to capture and punish the said robbers or pirates, and to recover the stolen property, that it may be handed over to the Consul for restoration to the owner.XX.If any British vessel be at any time wrecked or stranded on the coast of China, or be compelled to take refuge in any port within the dominions of the Emperor of China, the Chinese authorities, on being apprized of the fact, shall immediately adopt measures for its relief and security; the persons on board shall receive friendly treatment, and shall be furnished, if necessary, with the means of conveyance to the nearest Consular station.XXI.If criminals, subjects of China, shall take refuge in Hong Kong, or on board the British ships there, they shall, upon due requisition by the Chinese authorities, be searched for, and, on proof of their guilt, be delivered up.In like manner, if Chinese offenders take refuge in the houses or onboard the vessels of British subjects at the open ports, they shall not be harbored or concealed, but shall be delivered up, on due requisition by the Chinese authorities, addressed to the British Consul.XXII.Should any Chinese subject fail to discharge debts incurred to a British subject, or should he fraudulently abscond, the Chinese authorities will do their utmost to effect his arrest, and enforce recovery of the debts. The British authorities will likewise do their utmost to bring to justice any British subject fraudulently absconding or failing to discharge debts incurred by him to a Chinese subject.XXIII.Should natives of China who may repair to Hong Kong to trade incur debts there, the recovery of such debts must be arranged for by the English Courts of justice on the spot; but should the Chinese debtor abscond, and be known to have property, real or personal, within the Chinese territory, it shall be the duty of the Chinese authorities, on application by, and in concert with, the British Consul, to do their utmost to see justice done between the parties.XXIV.It is agreed that British subjects shall pay, on all merchandise imported or exported by them, the duties prescribed by the tariff; but in no case shall they be called upon to pay other or higher duties than are required of the subjects of any other foreign nation.XXV.Import duties shall be considered payable on the landing of the goods, and duties of export on the shipment of the same.XXVI.Whereas the tariff fixed by Article X of the Treaty of Nanking, and which was estimated so as to impose on imports and exports a duty at about the rate of 5 percent. ad valorem, has been found, by reason of the fall in value of various articles of merchandise, therein enumerated, to impose a duty upon these considerably in excess of the rate originally assumed as above to be a fair rate, it is agreed that the said tariff shall be revised, and that as soon as the Treaty shall have been signed, application shall be made to the Emperor of China to depute a high officer of the Board of Revenue to meet, at Shanghai, officers to be deputed on behalf of the British Government, to consider its revision together, so that the tariff, as revised, may come into operation immediately after the ratification of this Treaty.。
