Read the passage and complete the time line on the next page. 阅读这篇文章，完成下一页的时间线。 短文 When people say "culture", we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears -- Mickey Mouse. Over 90 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.

Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the "little man" win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.

On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today's cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's? 当人们说“文化”时，我们想到的是艺术和历史。 但美国文化中一个非常著名的象征是卡通。 我们都知道并喜欢那只长着两只又大又圆的耳朵的黑色老鼠——米老鼠。 90多年前，他首次出现在动画片《威利汽船》中。 1928年11月18日，这部动画片在纽约上映，这是第一部有声音和音乐的动画片。 米奇背后的人是沃尔特·迪斯尼。 他变得非常富有和成功。 在20世纪30年代，他制作了87部米老鼠卡通。

有些人可能会问，这个卡通动物是如何变得如此受欢迎的。 其中一个主要原因是米奇就像一个普通人，但他总是试图面对任何危险。 在他早期的电影中，米奇很不幸，有很多问题，比如失去了房子和女朋友米妮。 然而，他总是准备尽自己最大的努力。 人们去电影院看“小人”获胜。 他们中的大多数人都想像米奇一样。

1978年11月18日，米奇成为第一个在好莱坞星光大道上拥有一颗星星的卡通人物。 今天的动画片通常不像小米老鼠那么简单，但每个人都知道并喜欢他。 谁的耳朵比米奇的还出名?

 中文多将 soap opera 译作 “肥皂剧”，这是西方广播电视节目中以家庭问题为主要内容的一种连续剧形式。

2. The man behind Mickey was Disney. 米老鼠的幕后之人便是华特 · 迪士尼。
 华特 · 迪士尼（1901-1966）是美国著名动画大师、企业家、导演及电影制片人，他创建了举世闻名的 “迪士尼公司”，他笔下的米老鼠使他一举成名，他还制作出诸如《白雪公主和七个小矮人》、《小鹿斑比》、《小飞侠》等大量优秀动画影片。影视事业成功后，他又创建了可供人们尽情欢乐的 “迪士尼乐园”。

3. However, he was always ready to try his best. 然而，他总是准备好去尽其所能。
 1）此句中的 always 表示一种长期的行动，和形容词 ready 连用，构成短语 always ready to do something，表示 “总是准备好做某事；总是乐意 / 愿意做某事”。

又如：

She was always ready to listen to my problems. 她总是愿意倾听我的烦恼。
Don’t worry. I’m always ready to help you. Just ask, OK? 别担心，我随时愿意帮你。只要说一声，好吧？

 2）英语中 try one’s best 是一种固定表达方式，表示 “尽力；竭尽全力” 的意思。

例如：

He didn’t try his best in the game, I’m afraid. 我恐怕他在比赛中没有竭尽全力。

4. 动画片 Steamboat Willie（《威廉号汽船》）
 《威廉号汽船》是美国一部著名的动画短片（1928年出品）。在这部电影中，迪士尼创作的著名卡通人物米老鼠（Mickey）首次正式与世界观众见面。在世界动画电影中，《威廉号汽船》有着特殊而重要的意义，被视为经典传奇。

5. … Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. … 米老鼠成为在好莱坞星光大道上拥有一颗星星的第一个卡通形象。
 1）此句中 to have a star 用作定语，修饰 the first cartoon character。
 2）好莱坞星光大道上镶有 2000 多个有名人姓名的星形奖章，以纪念他们对娱乐业的贡献。

6. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. 现在的卡通片通常不再像米老鼠那样简单，但大家依然知道并喜爱米老鼠。
 not so / as … as … 结构表示 “不像 … 那样 …；不如 … 这么 …”。

又如：

It wasn’t so good as last time. 这次不如上次好。
It’s not so easy as you’d think. 这不像你想的那么容易。
