英语词汇the sheik的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

the Sheik. To say silent-screen star Rudolph Valentino was a sex symbol is putting it mildly. Italian-born Rodolfo d’Antonguolla came to the United States in 1913, and after working as a gardener, a dancer, and a bit player in Hollywood, he zoomed to stardom under his stage name in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921), which was followed by hits like The Sheik, Blood and Sand, Monsieur Beaucaire, and The Son of the Sheik. Valentino became the embodiment of ro- mance and sex to women all over the world; after many years his name is still a synonym for a handsome lover. But after his movie successes, Valentino became an object of worship to thousands of females. Women ripped his clothes off in the streets for souvenirs, climbed uninvited into his bed. The crowds were unbelievable wherever he went; once when he took a stroll aboard the Leviathan so many women rushed to his side that the captain feared the danger of a disastrous list. The antics of individuals were even more unbelievable. One woman broke her leg climbing into his dressing room, others paid his valet 20 dollars for a vial of his used bathwater. Valen- tino died of a bleeding ulcer when he was only 31 years old. More than 50,000 people, overwhelmingly women, attended his funeral in New York in 1926, and even today admirers come to mourn at his crypt.
