Today, we present a long-loved classic film “My Fair Lady,” which has been called by the prominent Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert “the best and most unlikely of musicals.” Ms. Audrey Hepburn plays the leading role, as Eliza Doolittle, with her singing voice dubbed by the prolific American soprano Marni Nixon. Set in London in 1912, the film takes us outside the Royal Opera House. There, we meet Professor Henry Higgins, a proud scholar of phonetics, played by Sir Rex Harrison, and Colonel Hugh Pickering, a phonetics expert who has just come back from India, played by Wilfrid Hyde-White. At work in the market square is Eliza Doolittle. Eliza first mistakes Professor Higgins as a policeman and then is ridiculed by him for her Cockney accent. As upset as Eliza is, she still takes Professor Higgins’ words seriously when he boasts to Colonel Pickering that if he were to start teaching her proper English, he could “pass her off as a duchess at an Embassy Ball” in just six months. Impressed by Eliza’s courage and innocence, Colonel Pickering reminds the professor what he had said yesterday. He convinces him it would be an interesting challenge to change the young girl from a “draggle-tailed guttersnipe” into a beautiful lady through language education. “Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months learning how to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist shop.” “The noblest thoughts that ever flowed through the hearts of men are contained in its extraordinary, imaginative, and musical mixtures of sounds. And that’s what you’ve set yourself out to conquer, Eliza. And conquer it you will.” Professor Higgins now has full confidence in Eliza and takes her to the Embassy Ball. After she comes back from the ball, she doesn’t wait until the next morning to leave Professor Higgins’ home. But where does she go? Will she join Freddy Eynsford-Hill, a young aristocrat who has fallen in love with her? Or will Eliza go back to being a flower girl? Can she ever realize her dreams? “My Fair Lady” was adapted from the stage play of the same name by Alan Jay Lerner with brilliant music by Frederick Loewe, based on the acclaimed Irish playwright and vegetarian George Bernard Shaw’s 1913 play “Pygmalion.” “My Fair Lady” won multiple awards, including eight Oscars, three Golden Globe Awards, and the BAFTA Award for Best Film from any Source, among numerous others. In 2018, the film was selected by the US Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” 今天，我們介紹一部備受喜愛的經典電影《窈窕淑女》，被著名的芝加哥太陽報評論家羅傑·艾伯特稱為「最佳和最不可能的音樂劇」。奧黛麗·赫本女士飾演女主角伊萊莎·杜立德，歌聲由多產的美國女高音瑪妮·尼克森配音。這部電影以一九一二年倫敦為背景，帶我們走出皇家歌劇院。在那裡，我們遇見了由雷克斯·哈里遜爵士飾演自豪的語音學者亨利·希金斯教授與威爾弗里德·海德懷特飾演剛從印度回來的語音專家休皮克林上校。 伊萊莎·杜立德在市場廣場工作。伊萊莎先是將希金斯教授誤認為警察。然後因為她的倫敦口音，而被他嘲笑。儘管伊萊莎很沮喪，但她仍然認真看待希金斯教授的話，他向皮克林上校吹噓，如果開始教她正確英語，他可以在六個月內「讓她在大使館舞會上假冒公爵夫人」。皮克林上校對於伊萊莎的勇氣和純真留下深刻印象，他提醒教授昨天說過的話。他說服他，這將是一個有趣的挑戰，透過語言教育，將一位貧民窟的邋遢女孩變成美麗淑女。 「伊萊莎，接下來的六個月，你要待在這裡，學習如何優雅地說話，就像花店裡的女士一樣。」「最高貴的思想從人們心中流出，承載在這充滿非凡想像力、如音樂般悅耳的聲音中。這就是你所要征服的，伊萊莎。你一定能夠征服它。」 現在希金斯教授對伊萊莎充滿信心，並帶她參加了大使館舞會。從舞會回來後，沒等到第二天早上就離開希金斯教授的家。但她去哪裡呢？她會和愛上她的年輕貴族弗雷迪艾因斯福德—希爾在一起嗎？還是回去當賣花女？她能實現她的夢想嗎？ 《窈窕淑女》改編自艾倫·傑伊·勒納的同名舞台劇，配以弗雷德里克·洛伊的精彩音樂，該劇由著名愛爾蘭劇作家、素食者喬治·蕭伯納一九一三年的戲劇《賣花女》改編。《窈窕淑女》獲獎無數，包括一舉拿下八項奧斯卡獎、三項金球獎、英國電影學院最佳影片獎，以及眾多其他獎項。二○一八年，這部電影因「在文化、歷史或美學上具有重要意義」而被美國國會圖書館選入電影保護目錄。 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE4o1kV7wEc
