He ______________________(因...而闻名) constantly _________(encounter) awkward situations, _______ greatly amuses audiences of all nationalities and cultures. His humor is always made clear through _____________(一系列) simple and funny acts that rely purely ____ body language that is universal.
憨豆先生是一个国际知名的影视喜剧人物。他的著名之处在于总是遇到尴尬的情境,这使来自不同国家、不同文化背景的观众都觉得非常好笑。憨豆先生的幽默总是通过一连串简单、可笑的动作清晰地表达出来,完全依靠肢体语言这一全世界都能理解的方式。
One of my favourite _________(episode) was Mr Bean in a fancy( ) restaurant. After ______
_________(seat) at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, puts it in an envelope and _______(place) it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, ________(似乎,仿佛) he did not know it was there. He opens it _________(find) a birthday card and very happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
我喜欢的一集是憨豆先生在一家高档餐厅用餐的故事。在餐厅里就座后,憨豆先生拿出一张卡片,在上面写了几个字,塞进信封,放在桌子上。过了一会儿,他再看那个信封,露出惊讶的表情,好像完全不知道它在那里。打开信封后,发现是张生日贺卡,他便高兴地把贺卡放在桌上向大家炫耀起来。
When he looks at the menu, an _________(astonish) look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts( ) it and puts it in a saucer. He then looks from the menu ____ the money ____________(担忧地) until he finds one thing _____ makes him smile. Then he orders a dish _______(call) “steak tartare”.
看菜单时,憨豆先生脸上立刻露出震惊的表情。他把钱包里所有的钱都拿出来,数了数,放进碟子里。他担心地一会儿看看菜单,一会儿看看钱,最终找到了一种食物,脸上露出了微笑。然后他点了一道“鞑靼牛肉”。
When the dish arrives, he is shocked ____________(discover) that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He _____________________(尝试做某事) eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face as he is chewing that he finds the taste truly awful( ). He cannot hide his feelings, _________(除了) when the waiters ask if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, ________(indicate) that everything is fine.
可上菜的时候,憨豆先生惊讶地发现“鞑靼牛肉”其实就是生肉馅。他尝了尝,从他那咀嚼的表情就能清晰地看出,这东西一点都不好吃(这道菜的味道非常糟糕)。他无法掩饰自己的感觉,除了在服务员问他是否一切满意时。服务员问他的时候,他笑着点点头,装作一切都好的样子。
When the waiters are not looking, however, he busies himself _______(hide) the raw meat anywhere he can reach——the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, inside a bread roll and under a plate. He becomes so desperate( ) in the end _____ he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!
然而,当服务员没有注意的时候,他却忙着把生肉藏在他可以够到的任何地方——糖碗、小花瓶、小圆面包里和盘子下面。最后他无计可施,居然把一部分生肉藏在旁边女士的钱包里,塞进餐厅小提琴手的裤子里!我喜欢看电视里的憨豆先生,却不希望在现实生活中遇到像他这样的人,更不想和他共进晚餐!
I like to watch Mr Bean on TV but I wouldn’t want to meet someone like him in real life, and I certainly wouldn’t want to have dinner with him!

罗温艾金森,英国喜剧演员、编剧。艾金森先生在英国的名气主要源于他参演了很多著名影视剧。但在国际上,我们所熟悉的他是那个尴尬、笨拙,总能把人逗乐的憨豆先生。如果你认为罗温艾金森和他扮演的憨豆先生角色一样,那你一定会感到惊讶。相反,他本人实际上一点也不像憨豆先生。
