2015考研英语阅读纳粹统治下的巴黎

　　Mr Riding s book is an impressively comprehensive survey of the occupation years: therelentless persecution of France s Jews, especially the foreign-born, by the Vichy authoritiesas well as the Germans; Goebbels s expropriation of Jewish-owned art; the fascism of someFrench intellectuals, and the attraction of Stalin s communism for others. One irony is thatFrench cinema, so enriched by Jewish directors, actors and producers before the war,nonetheless flourished after their expulsion thanks to an influx of new talent. Mr Ridingparticularly praises Marcel Carn s Les Enfants du Paradis.

　　让人印象非常深刻的是，里丁的书可谓对德占期法国的一次全面调查：法国的犹太人--特别是那些在国外出生的--被维希政权和德方残酷迫害;戈培尔征收犹太人拥有的艺术品;一些法国知识分子的法西斯主义倾向，也有部分被斯大林的共产主义所吸引。一个巨大的讽刺是，战前的法国电影因有犹太导演,演员和制片人的加入而更加丰富，在他们遭到驱逐后，因新锐们蜂拥而入，电影业不受影响一如既往的繁荣着。里丁大力赞扬了马塞尔卡内尔的《天堂的孩子们》。

　　But if the French arts, from the chansons of Maurice Chevalier to the ballet of thecollaborationist, Serge Lifar, survived the Nazis, how lasting was their victory? Mr Ridingsaves his best for last, with a discomfiting portrayal of the post-Liberation purationthepurge of collaboratorsand a clear-headed judgment of Paris s subsequent culturalstatus.
