英语ppt 好莱坞英文介绍

好莱坞位于美国西海岸加利福尼亚州洛杉矶郊外的好莱坞，这是一个依山傍水，景色宜人的地方。

最早是由摄影师寻找外景地所发现的，大约在20世纪初，这里便吸引了许多拍摄者，而后是一些为了逃避专利公司控制的小公司和独立制片商们纷纷涌来，逐渐形成了一个电影中心。

在第一次世界大战之前以及之后的一段时间内，格里菲斯和卓别林等一些电影大师们为美国赢得了世界名誉，华尔街的大财团插手电影业，好莱坞电影城迅速兴起，恰恰适应了美国在这一时期的经济飞速发展的需要，电影也进一步纳入经济机制，成为谋取利润的一部分。

资本的雄厚，影片产量的增多，保证了美国电影市场在世界上的倾销，洛杉矶郊外的小村庄最终成为一个庞大的电影城，好莱坞也在无形中成为美国电影的代名词。

Hollywood is located in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California, United States West Coast, this is a yard, a scenic place.

Strong capital increase in the production of film, to ensure that the dumping（倾销）of the American film market in the world, the small village eventually became a huge film city on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Hollywood also has virtually become（在无形中成为）synonymous（代名词）with the American movie.1853年，当时的好莱坞只有一栋房子。

好莱坞介绍英文版If a single place-name encapsulates the LA dream of glamor, money and overnight success, it's Hollyw ood. Millions of tourists arrive on pilgrimages; millions more flock here in pursuit of riches and glory. Hollywood is a weird combination of insatiable optimism and total despair. It really does blur the edges of fact and fiction, simply because so much seems possible 每and yet so little, for most people, actuall y is. Those who do strike it rich here get out as soon as they can, just as they always have; the big fil m companies, too, long ago relocated well away, leaving Hollywood in isolation, with prostitution, drug dealing and seedy bookstores as the reality behind the fantasy.Central HollywoodThe myths, magic, fable and fantasy splattered throughout the few short blocks of Central Hollywoo d would put a medieval fairytale to shame. A rich sense of nostalgia pervades the area, giving it an app eal no measure of tourists or souvenir postcard stands can diminish. Although you're much more likely to find a porno theater than spot a real star, the decline which blighted Hollywood from the early 1960s i s fast receding. Nevertheless the place still gets hairy after dark, with adolescents cruising Hollywood Bo ulevard in customized cars and occasional petty criminals on the prowl for the odd pocketbook.The natural place to begin exploring Hollywood Boulevard is the junction of Hollywood and Vine 每the classic location for budding stars to be "spotted" by big-shot directors and whisked off to fame a nd fortune. At 6608 Hollywood Blvd, the purple and pink Frederick's of Hollywood has been (under-) cl othing Hollywood's sex goddesses since 1947, as well as mortal bodies all over the world via mail order. Inside, the lingerie museum (free) displays some of the company's best corsets, bras and panties, donate d by happy big-name wearers ranging from Lana Turner to Cher.A little further on, the Egyptian Theater at no. 6708 was financed by impresario Sid Grauman, in a modest attempt to re-create the Temple of Thebes. The very first Hollywood premiere (Robin Hood) too k place here in 1922. Now owned by the city, Grauman's Thebes is currently closed for renovations as p art of a three-year plan to restore the fake mummies and hieroglyphics of this temple of cinema to their former glory and remake the theater into a center for film study. No Hollywood visitor will want to mi ss the mundane yet magical foot and hand prints in the concrete concourse of the 1927 Chinese Theatre at 6925 Hollywood Blvd. Actress Norma Talmadge (supposedly by accident) trod in wet cement while vi siting the construction site, and the practice has continued ever since, starting with Mary Pickford and D ouglas Fairbanks Sr, at the opening of King of Kings, and recently involving stars such as Al Pacino. T hrough the halcyon decades, this was the spot for movie first-nights. As for the building, it's an odd wes tern version of a classical Chinese temple, replete with dodgy Chinese motifs and upturned dragon tail fl anks.The Roosevelt Hotel opposite was movieland's first luxury hotel, its Cinegrill restaurant hosting the l ikes of W C Fields and F Scott Fitzgerald, not to mention hangers-on like Ronald Reagan. In 1929 the first Oscars were presented here, beginning the long tradition of Hollywood rewarding itself in the absenc e of honors from elsewhere.Despite the beliefs of some of their loopiest fans, even the biggest Hollywood stars have been morta l; the many LA cemeteries that hold their tombs get at least as many visitors as the city's museums. In the southeast corner of the Hollywood Memorial Cemetery, near Santa Monica Boulevard and Gower Stre et, a mausoleum contains the resting place of Rudolph Valentino, the celebrated screen lover who died a ged just 31 in 1926. To this day on each anniversary of his passing (August 23), at least one "Lady in Black" 每as his posthumous devotees are known 每will likely be found mourning. The achingly ostenta tious memorial to Douglas Fairbanks Sr, who with his wife Mary Pickford did much to introduce social snobbery among movie-making people, is just outside. Also on view are the graves of Hollywood's more recently deceased inhabitants: an increasingly large population of Russian and Armenian immigrants.Griffith ParkThe gentle greenery and rugged mountain slopes that make up vast Griffith Park northeast of Holly wood (daily 5am每10.30pm, mountain roads close at dusk; free) are a welcome escape from the mind-nu mbing hubbub of the city. The landmark Observatory (Tues每Fri 2每10pm, Sat每Sun 12.30每10pm; f ree) here has been seen in innumerable Hollywood films, most famously Rebel Without a Cause, and the surrounding acres add up to the largest municipal park in the country, one of the few places where LA' s multitude of racial and social groups at least go through the motions of mixing together.Above the landscaped flat sections, the hillsides are rough and wild, marked only by foot and bridle paths, leading into desolate but appealingly unspoiled terrain that gives great views over the LA basin a nd out to the ocean, provided the city smog isn't too thick. One way to explore is on a rented bike fro m Woody's Bicycle World, 3157 Los Feliz Blvd (213/661-6665), a short distance away. The park is safe enough by day, but its reputation for after-dark violence is well founded.Hollywood HillsThe views from the Hollywood Hills take in a bizarre assortment of opulent properties. Around thes e canyons and slopes, which run from Hollywood itself into Benedict Canyon above Beverly Hills, mansi ons are so commonplace that only the half-dozen fully blown castles (at least, Hollywood-style castles) re ally stand out. On Mulholland Drive are Rudolph Valentino's extravagant Falcon Lair and Errol Flynn's Mulholland House; down Benedict Canyon is the former home of actress Sharon Tate, one of the victims of the Manson Family. Guided tours can point out which is which, but for the most part you can't get close to the most elaborate dwellings anyway, and none is open to the public.From more or less anywhere in Hollywood, you can see the Hollywood Sign, erected as a property advertisement in 1923 (when it spelt "Hollywoodland"; the "land" was removed in 1949). The sign is als o famous as a suicide spot, though few have followed the 1932 example of would-be movie star Peg En twhistle. Hers was no mean feat, the sign being as hard to reach then as it is now: from the end of Be achwood Drive (a route that affords a fine view of the sign) she picked a path slowly upwards through the thick bush, to leap to her death from the 50ft "H". For the first time in its sixty-five-year existence, the sign is being insured against earthquake damage. Infra-red cameras and radar-activated zoom lenses have been installed to catch graffiti writers. Innocent tourists who can't resist a close look are also liable for the $103 fine.。
