早年经历

1901年的春天,查理离开了兰开夏剧团。同年的5月9日,他的父亲去世,年仅37岁,无法再继续对他的幼子提供任何形式的帮助了。 在接下来的两年时间里,小查理做过各种各样的工作:卖花童、理发店小工、医生的小工,还有报童。1903年5月,他的哥哥西德尼出海归来,打算凭借他在船上学会的娱乐表演登上舞台。在西德尼的鼓励之下,年仅14岁的查理鼓起勇气向伦敦西区的代理人毛遂自荐,并且很快在一个巡回剧团的剧目《侦探福尔摩斯》中得到了比利-佩吉这个角色。他在舞台剧《吉姆,安乐乡中的浪漫史》中扮演一个报童。在两年多的时间里他在多家公司的舞台剧中扮演过比利这个角色。之后查理加入到了有西德尼参加的喜剧舞台剧《修复》的表演阵容中.

Before you watch
Watch the Video
In the film The Immigrant, Charlie Chaplin acts as an immigrant who is unused to life in a different country.
The Immigrant
The Immigrant was a 1917 film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977), who appeared in the film with the frquent co-star of many of his early films, Edna Purviance (1895-1958). In the film, Chaplin plays the Tramp, who in this case has taken a ship to immigrate to the United States. Much of the film involves his adventures during his voyage, where he meets and falls in love with Purviance.
The latter half of the film revolves around Chaplin losing his money without realising it, going to a restaurant to eat (where he is joined by Purviance), and then discovering that he cannot pay his and her bill. All ends happily, however, and Chaplin carries Purviance into the marriage license office so they can wed.
1. Why does Chaplin keep putting money into the woman's pocket and taking it out
2. Where does Chaplin get the money to eat at the restaurant
Think about the answers to these questions.
He wants to give her some money, but cannot decide if he wants to give her all of his money, or keep some of the money for himself.
He finds a coin on the ground.
