【文化常识】
The Pursuit of Happiness
《当幸福来敲门》
The Pursuit of Happiness is a 2006 American biographical drama film inspired by a true story,
that of Chris Gardner, who was among working homeless in th early 1980s and managed to
pull himself up by the bootstraps. William Smith features in the film as Chris Gardner and
Will's son Jadon Smith co-stars as Gardner's son Christopher Jr.
《当幸福来敲门》是 2006 年上映的一部美国传记类剧情片，其灵感来源于一个真实的
故事，取材于 20 世纪 80 年代初无家可归的劳动者克里斯·加德纳自立自强最终获得成
功的经历。威尔·史密斯在剧中饰演克里斯·加德纳，而他的儿子贾登·史密斯也共同出
演，在剧中扮演加德纳的儿子小克里斯。
Chris Gardner is a bright and talented, but marginally employed salesman. Struggling to make
ends meet, Gardener finds himself and his five-year-old son evicted from their San Francisco
apartment with nowhere to go. Nevertheless, he keeps in pursuit of his dream of a better life
for the two of them. Finally, his effort has paid off and he gets the position. Upon hearing the
news, Chris rushes to his son's daycare, hugging him tightly.
克里斯·加德纳是一位聪明、有天赋却很少被人雇佣的销售员。为了努力维持生计，加
德纳和他五岁的儿子被迫搬出他们在旧金山的公寓，无家可归。然而，加德纳时钟坚
持追求自己的梦想，希望自己和儿子过上更好的生活。终于，他的努力得到了回报，
他赢得了那份工作。得知这个消息后，克里斯立即奔向儿子的托儿所，紧紧地拥抱着
儿子。
The film has received numerous good views upon its release. The tough beauty of the picture
is that it lets each viewer weigh the costs and benefits to Gardner. It's a genuinely transporting
inspirational movie because it's also a cautionary tale. It does not downplay the hero's
occasional clumsiness or pigheadedness. For his performance, Will Smith was nominated for
an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor.
这部影片自上映以来获得不少好评。美丽的电影画面带着些许沉重感，因为它让每一
位观众在观看的同时权衡加德纳的付出和回报。这是一部真正鼓舞人心的电影，同时
也是一个带给人们启发的故事。它不会淡化英雄的偶尔笨拙和固执。鉴于威尔·史密斯
在剧中的出色表演，他获得了奥斯卡金像奖和金球奖最佳男演员奖的提名。
