如果有人头戴一顶圆顶大礼帽，上身穿一件窄小的礼服、下身穿一件特大的肥腿裤，脚登翘尖大皮鞋，留着一撇小胡子，手持细拐杖、迈着企鹅步，你猜他在模仿谁？
rúguǒ yǒu rén tóu dài yī dǐng yuándǐng dà lǐmào ， shàngshēn chuān yījiàn zhǎixiǎo de lǐfú 、 xiàshēn chuān yījiàn tè dà de féituǐkù ， jiǎo dēng qiàojiān dà píxié ， liú zhe yī piě xiǎohúzǐ ， shǒu chí xì guǎizhàng 、 mài zhe qǐé bù ， nǐ cāi tā zài mófǎng shéi ？
Guess: if someone wears a big round top hat, with a very tight top and extremely baggy pants, with pointy leather shoes, and they have a little moustache, carry a thin walking stick and waddle like a penguin, who are they imitating?
这还用说吗？当然是卓别林！这可是他的经典形象。
zhè hái yòng shuō ma ？ dāngrán shì Zhuōbiélín ！ zhè kěshì tā de jīngdiǎn xíngxiàng 。
Doesn't it go without saying? Charlie Chaplin, of course. That's the classic representation of him.
哈哈。没想到你对卓别林也这么熟悉，一猜就猜出来了。
hāhā 。 méixiǎngdào nǐ duì Zhuōbiélín yě zhème shúxī ， yī cāi jiù cāi chūlai le 。
Ha ha. I had no idea you were so familiar with Chaplin. You guessed it immediately.
那当然，他可是我的偶像。我觉得他是无声电影时期最有才能和影响最大的人物之一。我一直很喜欢他表演的讽刺电影和他的黑色幽默。即便是无声电影，也能通过他出色的表演来表达出深刻的内涵，让人在忍俊不禁的同时又能感受出他所表达的对当时社会黑暗的讽刺，这在当时真的是很了不起。

Well, of course-- he's my idol. I think he's one of the most influential and talented people of the silent film era. I've always liked his satirical movies and his black humor. Even though they're silent movies, he's able to convey deep meaning with his excellent performances. You can't help laughing, and you can enjoy his send-ups of the dark side of society. At the time, that was really something.
