五部鄧波兒由出演並大放光彩的電影
Franklin Roosevelt once said: "As long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right. When the spirit of the people is lower than at any other time during this Depression, it is a splendid thing that for just 15 cents, an American can go to a movie and look at the smiling face of a baby and forget his troubles."
富蘭克林·羅斯福曾說過：“只要我們國家有秀蘭鄧波兒，我們都會沒事的。在這民衆心情比任何時候都低落的大蕭條期間，只要15美分，就能到電影院看看那張閃耀微笑的娃娃臉然後忘卻一切煩憂，這是多麼美好的事啊。”
As America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938, the tiny Temple gave the country some much needed escapism.
作爲1935年至1938年間美國最有票房號召力的童星，小鄧波兒給了民衆亟需用以逃避現實的美好幻想。
But whereas many child stars have appealed primarily to young audiences, Temple beguiled a largely adult movie-going nation with what film critic David Thomson called her "elfin perfection".
很多童星只是吸引年輕觀衆的目光，而鄧波兒卻受到大批成年人追捧。電影評論員大衛•湯姆森稱她爲“完美精靈”
John F. Kasson writes: "At a time when movie attendance knit Americans into a truly national popular culture, they did not want a mirror of deep deprivation held up to them, but a ray of sunshine cast on their faces."
約翰•F•凱森寫道：“當電影成爲美國全國性流行文化時，人們並非需要一面能映出他們正深深被剝削的現實的鏡子，而是需要一道能照亮他們沮喪面龐的暖陽。”
Here are five films that Temple shined in:
下面介紹五部鄧波兒出演並大放光彩的電影：
"Bright Eyes" (1934): It's in this film that Temple gave perhaps her most beloved performance, singing "On the Good Ship Lollipop" down the aisle of an airplane. The rows of adoring men (and everyone else, for that matter) swoon at the cuteness. The movies don't always have to be complicated things.
《亮眼睛》（1934）大概鄧波兒在這部電影中的表演是最受人喜愛的。在一架飛機的過道上唱着“好船棒棒糖號”，而飛機上的其他人都被她的可愛吸引。這部電影讓我們知曉，電影似乎並不必須是複雜的，輕鬆簡單亦可。
"The Little Colonel" (1935): Along with "The Little Rebel," this was one of two films Temple made in 1935 with the tap-dancing great Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. They were a striking pair. Separated by race, decades in age and several feet in height, they were nevertheless a perfect match, particularly in their famous staircase dance sequence. Their magical harmony in dance may have left a more powerful impression.
《小上校》（1935）這部電影和另一部《小叛逆》都是由鄧波兒和跳踢踏舞跳得格外好的羅賓森（美國百老匯和好萊塢著名舞蹈演員）於1935年一同出演的。即使種族不同、年齡和身高都差距很大，他們仍完美配合，成爲引人注目的一對搭檔，尤其在他們一同跳階梯舞時。他們魔幻般和諧的舞蹈或許給人們留下了更深刻的印象。
"Curly Top" (1935): This film contained one of Temple's biggest hits, "Animal Crackers in My Soup," in which she serenades her orphanage at mealtime, "I walk around like Noah's Ark/ I stuff my tummy like a goop." The New York Times said of "Curly Top": "So shameless is (the film) in its optimism, so grimly determined to be cheerful, that it ought to cause an epidemic of axe murders and grandmother beatings." But Temple, the review noted, was irresistible, playing dramatic scenes "with the precision of a veteran actress." Though a child, Temple was often the best actor in her films.
《捲毛頭》（1935）這部電影裏鄧波兒演唱了她最熱門的歌曲《我湯裏動物餅乾》。吃飯時她用歌聲唱出自己的孤單：“我像諾亞方舟一樣四處遊蕩/像粗人一樣用食物填滿肚子”。《紐約時報》評價《捲毛頭》道：“這影片中的樂觀是多麼讓人心慚，這樣冷酷的內容用以鼓舞人心，這應會讓‘斧子謀殺’和‘毆打祖母’成爲流行。”而鄧波兒，評論人極爲認可，因她用“專業演員的水準”表現出引人入勝的場景。我們可以看出，雖然仍是一個孩子，鄧波兒就已經是她電影中的最佳演員。
"Wee Willie Winkie" (1937): It's about a British regiment fighting rebels in India. Reviewing the film, novelist Graham Greene — so convinced by Temple's adult-like gestures — claimed she was just masquerading as a child. He suggested that Temple's adult admirers were responding to "her well-shaped and desirable little body, packed with enormous vitality." A subsequent lawsuit over the review bankrupted the magazine.
《威莉•溫基》這部電影和印度對英國大規模叛亂有關。回顧電影，小說家魯達亞•基普林深信鄧波兒的成人姿態他斷言她只是僞裝成孩童心性。他暗示鄧波兒的成人讚賞者是在迴應“她的好外形和姣好的小身材，配上充沛的活力。”而隨後關於這則評論的官司讓這家雜誌倒閉。
"Heidi" (1937): Temple often played orphans, including in Allan Dwan's drama about a Swiss girl kidnapped by her aunt and taken to live richly in Germany. The portrait of Old World splendor in "Heidi" played as fantasy during the Depression. Along with "Wee Willie Winkie," it captured Temple transitioning toward slightly more mature performance.
《海蒂》（1937）鄧波兒總是扮演孤兒，包括在埃蘭•德萬的電影中出演了一個被阿姨拐騙並帶去德國過上富裕生活的瑞士女孩。《海蒂》對舊世界美好演繹出現在經濟大蕭條中像是一場白日夢。這部電影和《威莉•溫基》一起標誌着鄧波兒的演技趨於成熟。
