好的，這是一個關於名人軼事的故事。

It starts in Italy in the years before World War II, when the country was controlled by Benito Mussolini.

故事發生在第二次世界大戰前幾年的義大利，當時這個國家由 Benito Mussolini 統治。

例外句型

Aside from being a murderous fascist and dictator, Mussolini was an avid movie fan and fanboy of film stars, going so far as to write more than a hundred fawning letters to American actress Anita Page, including several marriage proposals.

除了是個殺人如麻的法西斯主義者和獨裁者，Mussolini 還是個狂熱的電影迷，更是影星的粉絲，甚至寫了一百多封諂媚的信給美國女演員 Anita Page，其中還包含幾次求婚。

Mussolini knew the emotional power of cinema as a tool for propaganda and building cultural prestige.

Mussolini 知道電影作為宣傳工具和建立文化聲望的情感力量。

So when the Roman production facility Cine Studios burned down in 1935, Mussolini used it as an opportunity to build the largest film studio in Europe called Chineci Ta, a sprawling 4, 4.3 million square foot complex on the southeast edge of Rome.

所以，當羅馬的製片廠 Cine Studios 在 1935 年燒毀時，Mussolini 藉此機會建立了歐洲最大的電影製片廠，名為 Chineci Ta，佔地廣闊，約 430 萬平方英尺，位於羅馬東南郊。

For its first few years, Chinacita turned out a number of mediocre nationalist films until There lies the Eternal City.

在最初的幾年裡，Chinacita 拍了不少平庸的民族主義電影，直到《永恆之城在此》。

Poorly defended, helpless to stop the attack.

Just six years after it opened, Chinichi Ta was partly destroyed in the Allied bombing of Rome in 43 and 44.

開張僅六年後，Chinacita 在 43 和 44 年的同盟國轟炸羅馬時部分被毀。

After the war, the Allies requisitioned the studio and turned it into a displaced persons, where thousands of refugees lived on the massive sound stages of a defunct dream and propaganda factory.

戰後，同盟國徵用了這個製片廠，並將其變成了流離失所者的收容所，成千上萬的難民住在那裡，在那座已停業的夢想和宣傳工廠的巨大攝影棚裡。

The studio space being used and Mussolini's thumb removed, a new wave of filmmakers took to the streets of Rome to make movies about real life in post war Italy.

攝影棚空間被重新利用，擺脫了墨索里尼的掌控，新一代的電影製作人開始走上羅馬街頭，拍攝戰後義大利的真實生活。

These neorealist films, as they were dubbed, like Open City by Roberto Rossellini and Bicycle Thieves by Vittorio De Sica, were internationally successful, critically and commercially situating Rome as a capital of world cinema, something Mussolini wanted but could never achieve.

這些後來被稱為新寫實主義電影的作品，像是羅貝託·羅西里尼的《羅馬不設防》和維托里奧·狄西嘉的《單車失竊記》，在國際上獲得了巨大的成功，在評論和商業上都將羅馬定位為世界電影的中心，這是墨索里尼夢寐以求卻始終無法實現的。

This in turn helped to reopen Chinichita and bring in big budget productions like quo Vadis from 1949, in which some of the last refugees are likely mixed in with the waves of extras.

這反過來幫助奇內奇塔重新開放，並吸引了像 1949 年的《暴君焚城錄》這樣的大製作，其中一些最後的難民很可能就混在成群的臨時演員中。

Quo Vadis was the first of many movies Hollywood would produce in Rome, thanks to cheap labor costs, the sheer size of Chinichita and the romantic allure of the Eternal City.

《暴君焚城錄》是好萊塢在羅馬拍攝的第一部電影，這得益於廉價的勞動力成本、奇內奇塔的巨大規模以及永恆之城的浪漫魅力。

Sword in sandal epics like Ben Hur and Cleopatra that were massively successful and provided great return on investment.

像是《賓漢》和《埃及豔後》這類型的劍與涼鞋史詩片獲得了巨大的成功，並帶來了豐厚的回報。

Italian law stated that earnings made from productions in Italy and had to stay in Italy.

義大利法律規定，在義大利製作的電影所得必須留在義大利。

So what did Hollywood studios do with all that cash stranded overseas?

那麼好萊塢製片廠如何處理這些滯留在海外的現金呢？

So began a legendary period in movie history, called by one Time magazine reporter, Hollywood on the Tiber.

這開啟了電影史上一個傳奇的時期，一位《時代》雜誌的記者稱之為「臺伯河上的好萊塢」。

The set of circumstances I described above brought film star after film star to the cobbled streets of Rome, merging their glamour with the mystique of a city that was rapidly recovering from fascism war.

上述的種種情況，讓一位又一位的電影明星來到了羅馬的鵝卵石街道上，將他們的魅力與這座從法西斯戰爭中迅速復甦的城市的神祕感融合在一起。

For a few years, the Via Veneto was the coolest place in the world.

有幾年的時間，Via Veneto 是全世界最酷的地方。

Of course, this was only one side of rome.

In the 50s, while the glitterati cavorted in chic bars and clubs, thousands of others struggled to find their place in the post war economy.

在 50 年代，當名流們在時髦的酒吧和俱樂部裡縱情享樂時，成千上萬的其他人卻在戰後經濟中努力尋找自己的位置。

A few of these, unable to land steady work, picked up a camera and began taking freelance pictures for tourists.

其中一些人因為找不到穩定的工作，便拿起相機開始為遊客拍攝自由照片。

But soon found they could make even more money snapping photos of celebrities.

但很快他們發現，拍攝名人照片能賺到更多錢。

One of these photographers was Tazio Searoli, known as the Fox of Via Veneto.

其中一位攝影師就是 Tazio Searoli，人稱「Via Veneto 的狐狸」。

One November night in 1958, Tazio found his way into Rugantino, a restaurant in Trastevere, where a high profile party was in full swing.

1958 年 11 月的一個晚上，Tazio 來到 Trastevere 的一家餐廳 Rugantino，當時那裡正舉辦一場備受矚目的派對。

The actress Anita Ekberg was there, drinking, having a good time.

女演員 Anita Ekberg 也在那裡，她喝著酒，玩得很開心。

She kicked off her shoes and began to dance barefoot in front of a jazz band.

她脫下鞋子，開始在爵士樂團前赤腳跳舞。

Then, out of nowhere, an uninvited guest took to the floor and proceeded to strip in front of a shocked but enthusiastic crowd of elites.

接著，毫無預警地，一位不速之客也加入了舞池，並開始在震驚卻又熱情的名流觀眾面前脫衣服。

The next day, all the biggest tabloids ran with the story.

隔天，所有最大的小報都報導了這則新聞。

甚至《紐約時報》也對此進行了報導。

It became clear to Tazio and his compatriots that scandal pays.

Tazio 和他的同胞們很清楚，醜聞能帶來財富。

So they sought it out, hiding in corners, sneaking into parties and backlots.

於是他們開始尋找醜聞，躲在角落，偷偷潛入派對和攝影棚。

And if they couldn't find bad behavior, they created it, provoking celebrities to attack them.

如果找不到壞行為，他們就自己製造，挑釁名人攻擊他們。

The Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini reached out to Tazio and asked him for stories of his trade.

義大利電影製作人 Federico Fellini 聯繫了 Tazio，向他詢問關於他這個行業的故事。

So Tazio obliged and a year later, Fellini made La Dolce Vita, the Suite Life, one of the best movies of all time, which immortalized the Hollywood on the Tiber era and the ravenous photographers who captured it.

於是 Tazio 欣然同意，一年後，費里尼拍出了《羅馬假期》（La Dolce Vita），這部電影是影史上的經典之作，讓「臺伯河上的好萊塢」時代和捕捉它的貪婪攝影師們永垂不朽。

Fellini based the main photographer on Tazio himself and called him.

費里尼以 Tazio 為原型，塑造了主角攝影師，並給他取了個名字。

正如我們所知，這個名字就這樣流傳下來了。

This period in Rome was a hinge point in the history of celebrity.

羅馬的這段時期是名人史上的關鍵轉捩點。

Paparazzi disrupted the highly manicured image movie stars had enjoyed since the golden age of Hollywood.

狗仔隊打破了自好萊塢黃金時代以來電影明星一直享有的精心修飾的形象。

They brought these gods of our culture down to the messy earth.

他們把我們文化中的這些神祇拉回了混亂的現實。

Interestingly, though, this didn't dampen our obsession with fame, as you might expect.

有趣的是，這並沒有像你預期的那樣，削弱我們對名氣的迷戀。

Something about seeing our celebrities brought low, catching a glimpse of their flaws and pains.

或許是看到我們崇拜的名人落入凡間，一窺他們的缺點和痛苦。

It didn't push the famous off these weird pedestals we put them on.

這並沒有讓我們把他們從奇怪的基座上推下來。

It only intensified our fixation with them.

這反而加劇了我們對他們的迷戀。

Maybe because we saw ourselves in those flaws and it allowed us to form deeper bonds with them.

也許是因為我們在那些缺點中看到了自己，這讓我們與他們建立了更深的連結。

Whatever the reason, we're all fanboys now, living in a world created 60 years ago on the streets of an ancient city.

無論是什麼原因，我們現在都成了粉絲，活在一個 60 年前在古老城市街頭創造的世界裡。
