春之歌这个美丽的野丫头,赤着脚,10岁的时候,就把头发盘在头顶上,告诉人们她已经16岁了,然后开了个舞蹈班,教比她年龄更小的孩子们跳舞。她不得不这样做。因为,由她那个单身母亲独自支撑起来的4个孩子的家庭,实在太穷了。贫穷成天追逐着他们,于是一家5口人便组织了一个舞蹈剧团四处巡回演出。但是,没过多长时间,不可避免的事终于发生了:她们身无分文,付不起房租,行李被扣,无处安身,只得流落街头。迫于生计,她穿着母亲用几码薄纱为她缝制的白色舞衣去应聘芝加哥一家歌舞剧团演员一职。在又大又黑的空荡荡的舞台上,看着这个美丽而瘦弱的女孩子,忘情而舞,人们小声地说:“这孩子怎么表达得这么悲惨?”她跳着门德尔松的《春之歌》。可大剧团的经理们,叼着粗雪茄,帽子压住一只眼睛,漫不经心地说: “你很漂亮。如果你肯改改跳法,来点带劲儿的,嗯,撩起大腿.我想我可以雇你。” 那是她一生中最痛苦的时期,撩起大腿跳一些带劲的舞蹈,为了免于饿死。以致后来,每当她想起那个叫芝加哥的城市,就有一种因饥饿而要呕吐的感觉。
The beautiful spring girl, barefooted, got her hair on top of her head when she was 10, telling people she was 16 years old and then started a dance class to teach dancing to her younger children . She has to do this. Because the family of four children supported by her single mother alone is too poor. Poverty chasing them all day, so a family of 5 people organized a dance troupe tour around. However, it was not too long before inevitable things finally took place: they were penniless, unable to pay their rent, detained their luggage and nowhere to go. Forced to livelihoods, she was wearing a mother with a few gauze sewn white clothes to apply for Chicago opera troupe. In the big and dark empty arena, watching this beautiful and thin girl, forgetfulness and dance, people whispered: “How did the child express so miserable? ” She dances with Mendelssohn’s “ Spring song. ” But the troupes managers, holding a thick cigar, hats hold one eye, said casually: “You are very beautiful .If you are willing to change the jump method, a little bit awkward, ah, lifted the thigh .I I think I can hire you. ”That was the most painful period of her life, lifted the thigh to dance some exciting, in order to avoid starvation. Later, whenever she remembered the city called Chicago, she had a feeling of vomiting because of hunger.
