【美国人物志】马克思兄弟 (10/12)

英语自学网

美国早期的喜剧演员中，除了卓别林Charles Chaplin、巴斯特·基顿Buster Keaton和劳埃德Harold Lloyd之外，Marx兄弟也非常受欢迎。他们也是最经典的喜剧之王，被称为无政府主义四贱客，尽管他们只合作了十数部电影，但仍被誉为影史最成功的喜剧团体之一，他们堪称无厘头的鼻祖，热衷于塑造或癫狂或装傻充愣的人物，表现荒诞不经的内容，并凭此独步20世纪 30年代的喜剧电影界。 今天，他们的喜剧看起来已经过时了，但在30年代，他们给人们带来的惊喜不亚于卓别林，凡是比较权威的电影史书籍，都不会错过介绍这几个活宝。

Now I say to you gentlemen that this college is a failure. The trouble is, we're neglecting football for education.
Exactly, the professor is right.
Oh, I'm right, am I? Well, I'm not right. I'm wrong. I just said that to test you. Now I know where I'm at. I'm dealing with a couple of snakes. What I meant to say was that there is too much football and not enough education.
That's what I think.
Oh you do, do you? Well, you're wrong again. If there was a snake here, I'd apologize. Where would this college be without football? Have we got a stadium?
Yes.
Have we got a college?
Yes.
Well, we can't support both. Tomorrow we start tearing down the college.
But, professor, where will the students sleep?
Where they always sleep, in the classroom!
