The world-famous Belgian has arrived in Britain with his equally famous dog for a five-month stay—nearly 70 years after his first visit. Tintin, the eternally youthful reporter who only was ever known to file one story in all his adventures, is celebrating his 75th birthday this year with a new exhibition at London’s National Maritime Museum.
Tintin at Sea is a collection of original drawings by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi—more commonly known as Herge which was the French-speaking pronunciation of his reversed initial RG— and some of the artifacts and models that inspired him.
"Herge had a lifelong fascination with the sea and was above all a person who insisted on detail," the museum’s director Roy Clare told reporters at a preview of the exhibition which opens to the public on Wednesday and runs to September 5.
Tintin, with his trademark quiff and plus-four trousers, traveled all over the world on adventures that took him and his white terrier known as Snowy in English and Milou in French from Tibet to America and Iceland to Africa.
Books of his adventures have been translated into 60 languages and have sold 200 million copies since the comic strip character first saw the light of day in 1929.
Although the stories took Tintin and his irascible companion Captain Haddock as far as the moon, the sea is a recurring theme, in stories such as The Crab with the Golden Claws, Red Rackham’s Treasure and The Secrets of the Unicorn.
Herge, who only traveled widely after the success of his creation, was a self-taught artist. He stayed in Belgium through World War Two and was accused and cleared of collaboration immediately afterwards, although he suffered a period of being an exile as a result. He was also accused of racism in some of Tintin’s earlier adventures.
The reporter only once travelled to Britain, in the story The Black Isle, published in 1938. "Here you have four famous Belgians," Joren Vandeweyer, the country’s cultural attache(大使随员)to Britain, told reporters. "Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and of course Herge himself, back after 66 years."
What happened to Herge during World War Two?
选项
A、He was exiled for being accused of treason and racism.
B、He worked with other cartoonists on Tintin’s adventures.
C、He was forced to leave Belgian for some time.
D、He criticized racism through Tintin’s adventures.
答案
C
解析
倒数第3段第2句中的让步从句表明埃尔热曾经被放逐,即被迫离开比利时一段时间,因此选项C为本题答案。本题最具干扰性的是选项A,事实上,原文表明埃尔热被放逐是因为二战期间被控通敌卖国,而他曾经被控种族歧视,这是被放逐后发生的事了,从原文也不能看出他被放逐的时候同时被控这两个罪名,因此A不正确。
