 Marilyn Monroe 玛丽莲梦露 An American Icon 美国的标志 Early Life Marilyn Monroe was born as Norma Jeane Mortenson (later baptized as Norma Jeane Baker) on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. During her all-too-brief life, Marilyn Monroe overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the world's biggest and most enduring sex symbols. She never knew her father, and once thought Clark Gable to be her father—a story repeated often enough for a version of it to gain some currency. However, there's no evidence that Gable ever met or knew Monroe's mother, Gladys, who developed psychiatric problems and was eventually placed in a mental institution. As an adult, Monroe would maintain that one of her earliest memories was of her mother trying to smother her in her crib with a pillow. Monroe had a half-sister, to whom she was not close; they met only a half-dozen times. 玛丽莲·梦露出生时的名字是诺玛·简·莫滕森(受洗后，名为诺玛·简·贝克)。1926年6月1日,她出生在加利福尼亚的洛杉矶。在她短暂的一生中,玛丽莲·梦露成功的甩掉了艰难的童年给她留下的阴影，成为世界上最大、最持久的性感符号之一。她从来不知道她的父亲是谁，她曾经认为克拉克盖博是她的父亲，-而由于这个故事的经常被传播，成为了流行一时的话题。然而,并没有任何证据表明盖博曾经见过、或认识梦露的母亲Gladys。她的母亲，Gladys，由于了精神原因，最后住进精神病院。 成年之后，梦露坚称说，她最早的记忆之一是她的母亲试图用枕头把她闷死在摇篮里。梦露有一个同母异父的姐姐，她两并不亲近；她们一共只见过六次。 Norma Jeane Mortenson - EarlyChildhood 诺玛·简·莫滕森 - 幼儿时期 Growing up, Monroe spent much of her time in foster care and in an orphanage. In 1937, a family friend and her husband, Grace and Doc Goddard, took care of Monroe for a few years. The Goddards were paid $25 weekly by Monroe's mother to raise her. The couple was deeply religious and followed fundamentalist doctrines; among other prohibited activities, Monroe was not allowed to go to the movies. But when Doc's job was transferred in 1942 to the East Coast, the couple could not afford to bring Monroe with them. 在长大的过程中，梦露的大部分时间是在寄养家庭和孤儿院度过的。1937年，Grace和Doc Goddard,家里的朋友和她的丈夫,照顾了梦露几年。梦露的母亲每周付给Goddard夫妇25美元来抚养她。这对夫妇非常虔诚，遵循原教旨主义教义；在众多被禁止的活动中之一，就是，梦露不允许去看电影。但是,当Doc的工作在1942年转移到东海岸时，这对夫妇没有办法带上梦露。 A Childhood In and Out of Foster Homesand Orphanage 从寄养家庭和孤儿院走出的童年。 At 7 years old, Monroe returned to a life in foster homes, where she was on several occasions sexually assaulted; she later said that she had been raped when she was 11 years old. But she had one way out—get married. She wed her boyfriend Jimmy Dougherty on June 19, 1942, at the age of 16. By that time, Monroe had dropped out of high school (age 15). A merchant marine, Dougherty was later sent to the South Pacific. Monroe went to work in a munitions factory in Van Nuys, California, where she was discovered by a photographer. By the time Dougherty returned in 1946, Monroe had a successful career as a model, and had changed her name to Marilyn Monroe in preparation for an acting career. She dreamt of becoming an actress like Jean Harlow and Lana Turner. 在7岁的时候，梦露回到了寄养家庭生活，在那里她曾多次遭受性侵犯；她后来说，她11岁时被强奸了。但她有一个方法能够脱离寄养家庭的生活，那就是结婚。她和男朋友JimmyDougherty于1942年6月19日结婚，那时她才16岁。当时，梦露已经从高中辍学(15岁)。Dougherty是个商船海员，他后来被派到南太平洋去工作。梦露去了加利福尼亚Van Nuys的一个军火工厂工作，在那里她被一个摄影师发现了。当Dougherty在1946年回来时，梦露作为一个模特，已经有了一个成功的职业生涯。为演艺事业做准备她把名字改为Marilyn Monroe。她梦想成为像Jean Harlow和Lana Turner那样的女演员。 With Her First Husband 与她的首任丈夫 A Fresh Faced Model 新面孔模特 With the Modeling Career Comes a NewName - Marilyn Monroe 一个新的名字开启一段新的模特职业生涯 - 玛丽莲· 梦露 Famed Career 著名的生涯 The Asphalt Jungle All About Eve Monroe's marriage to Dougherty fizzled out as she focused more on her career. The couple divorced in 1946—the same year that Monroe signed her first movie contract. With the movie contract came a new name and image; she began calling herself "Marilyn Monroe" and dyed her hair blonde. But her acting career didn't really take off until the 1950s. Her small part in John Huston's crime drama The Asphalt Jungle (1950) garnered her a lot of attention. That same year, she impressed audiences and critics alike with her performance as Claudia Caswell in All About Eve, starring Bette Davis. She would soon become one of Hollywood's most famous actresses; though she wasn't initially considered to be star acting material, she later proved her skill by winning various honors and attracting large audiences to her films. 在梦露越来越专著自己的事业的同时，她和Dougherty的婚姻也失败了。这对夫妇在1946年离婚—同年，梦露签署了她的第一部电影合同。与电影合同一同走来的，是一个全新的名字和崭新的形象，她开始称自己为“玛丽莲梦露"，还把头发染成金色。但她的演艺生涯直到二十世纪五十年代才真正步入正轨。她在John Huston的犯罪剧《夜阑人未静》(Asphalt Jungle，1950)中的小角色吸引了很多人的关注。同年,她在与Bette Davis同演的《彗星美人》(All About Eve)饰演的Claudia Caswell给观众和评论家们留下了深刻的印象。从那以后，她很快就成为了好莱坞最著名的女演员之一。虽然她最初并没有被认为是演技派明星，但后来，她赢得各种荣誉并在票房吸引大量观众，也她证明了自己的表演实力。 （未完，待续...） |
