Humphrey Bogart

Read a short story of a famous movie star who became a symbol of old Hollywood.

1.1

Humphrey Bogart was a big movie star from long time ago. He was born in New York City on December 25, 1899. Bogart grew up in a family that liked art. His dad was good at drawing, and his mom was good at making art for advertisements.

كان همفري بوجارت نجم سينمائي كبير منذ زمن بعيد. ولد في مدينة نيويورك في 25 ديسمبر 1899. نشأ بوجارت في عائلة تحب الفن. كان والده جيدًا في الرسم، وكانت والدته جيدة في صنع الفن للإعلانات.

1.2

When Bogart was young, he did not plan to be an actor. He tried a lot of jobs, like working on ships and joining the U.S. Navy in a big war. But he really loved acting, so he went to Hollywood to try it.

عندما كان بوجارت صغيرًا، لم يخطط ليصبح ممثلاً. جرب الكثير من الوظائف، مثل العمل على السفن والانضمام إلى البحرية الأمريكية في حرب كبيرة. لكنه أحب التمثيل حقًا، لذا ذهب إلى هوليوود ليحاول.

1.3

Bogart became famous in the 1940s. He acted in big movies like "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon." He played tough guys with a rough voice, but they were good guys at heart.

أصبح بوجارت مشهورًا في الأربعينيات. لعب في أفلام كبيرة مثل "كازابلانكا" و"الصقر المالطي". لعب أدوار رجال أشداء بصوت خشن، لكنهم كانوا طيبين في القلب.

1.4

He had a really cool style. He often wore a special kind of hat called a fedora and had a cigarette in his mouth. This style became his special look. People all over the world wanted to copy his style because he looked so cool and confident.

كان لديه أسلوب رائع حقًا. كان غالبًا ما يرتدي نوعًا خاصًا من القبعة تسمى فيدورا وكان لديه سيجارة في فمه. أصبح هذا الأسلوب مظهره الخاص. أراد الناس في جميع أنحاء العالم تقليد أسلوبه لأنه بدا رائعًا وواثقًا جدًا.

1.5

In real life, Bogart liked sailing and was married a few times. His most famous wife was "Lauren Bacall." She was a movie star, too. They were a very famous couple.

في الحياة الواقعية، كان بوجارت يحب الإبحار وتزوج عدة مرات. كانت زوجته الأكثر شهرة هي "لورين باكال". كانت أيضًا نجمة سينمائية. كانا ثنائيًا مشهورًا جدًا.

1.6

Bogart had some problems with drinking too much, but he continued acting in movies until he got sick and died in 1957.

كان لدى بوغارت بعض المشاكل مع شرب الكثير من الكحول، لكنه استمر في التمثيل في الأفلام حتى مرض وتوفي في عام 1957.

1.7

Fun fact: Humphrey Bogart liked playing chess a lot. He even played against the best chess player in the world once, but he did not win.

حقيقة ممتعة: أحب همفري بوجارت لعب الشطرنج كثيرًا. حتى أنه لعب مرة ضد أفضل لاعب شطرنج في العالم، لكنه لم يفز.
