1929 年5月4日，奥黛丽·赫本诞生了。她以高雅的气质和独特的品味改写了好莱坞美的标准。她生前主演的多部电影例如《罗马假日》、《蒂凡尼早餐》和《窈窕淑女》等至今仍为无数人眼中的经典。

In her Childhood， Audrey Hepburn was a little fat， however she was very active， smart and lovely. Sometimes， she would just hide herself under the table， enjoying her favorite deserts. She had no idea why her parents were always quarreling and she did not care about it anyway. She loved dancing with her father. Being with him， she felt she was the happiest princess all over the world. However， no matter how this poor little princess expressed her love， her parents divorced and her father left them resolutely.

儿时的奥黛丽活泼、机灵、可爱，胖嘟嘟的她会偷偷地躲在桌子下吃甜食。她不明白父母为何总是争吵，她对此也不在乎。她喜欢爸爸陪她跳舞，和爸爸在一起时，她是最快乐的小公主。但是，不管这可怜的小公主怎样表达自己的爱，也没能留住和母亲离婚并毅然离去的爸爸。

In teenager period， Hepburn was rather pretty and innocent， brave meanwhile with intelligence. She was sent to learn her favorite dancing—Ballet by her mother and has made

up her mind to be an excellent dancer in future. However the war suddenly broke out， which forced her to come back to Holland.

少女时期的赫本清纯亮丽，聪明勇敢。她被妈妈送去学芭蕾——她最喜欢的舞种。她下定决心将来要成为一名出色的舞者。但是因为战争的爆发，她不得不回到荷兰。

After the war， Hepburn returned school to continue her studies， she desired to be an outstanding dancer， but was told by the teacher that her talence and figure are limited for her to be a chief ballet dancer. In deep sorrow， she started another career which paved the way for her later achievements[3]. At first， she tried all her best and played in various kinds of Musical

theater. Luckily， she was chosen to take part in Broadways drama performance and Roman Holiday. Those two performances brought her great fame， especially the latter one which helped her won the Oscar Award for best actress.

战后，赫本又回到舞蹈学校学习。她渴望成为出色的舞者，可是老师很遗憾地告诉她她并不具备成为首席芭蕾舞者的天分和身材。于是伤心的赫本开始了她的另一个职业，这为她后来的演艺事业埋下了伏笔。开始她出演各种音乐剧，后来她幸运地被选中参加百老汇的话剧表演和电影《罗马假日》，这两部作品为她带来了名誉，尤其是《罗马假日》，使她获得了奥斯卡最佳女主角奖。

In her late years， Hepburn devoted[4] plenty of her time and energy into the charity careers.

In honor of her extraordinary[5] contribution to the poor children all over the world， the United

Nations Childrens Fund established a 7 foot bronze status known as the“Spirit of Audrey”. Whats more， on her 10th death anniversary[6]， USPS （United States Postal Service） published
