英语词汇garbo speaks的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Garbo speaks. Aside from some Goldwynisms, “I vant to be alone” may well be the single most famous quotation to come out of Hollywood, and the most unusual—because it is a senti- ment uncharacteristic of most movie stars. “A deep, husky throaty contralto,” wrote the New York Herald Tribune’s critic in describing the sultry Swedish star Greta Garbo’s voice when she spoke in a film for the first time in Anna Christie (1930). The movie had been widely advertised under the headline “Garbo Talks.” Garbo’s first film words, spoken in a bar, were “Gif me a viskey . . . and dawn’t be stingy, baby.” All her acting career, Garbo remained a mystery woman, this image adding to her allure. Never marrying, she carried on long affairs with her frequent costar, John Gilbert, billed as “The World’s Great- est Lover”; conductor Leopold Stokowoski; and many others. Retiring to her New York apartment, she continued her reclu- sive ways until her death in 1990, age 85, often traveling under aliases like “Miss Brown” and wearing the big slouch hats that became her trademark. Her ashes are buried in a secret location.
