The world-famous Belgian has arrived in Britain with his equally famous dog for a five-month stay—nearly 70 years after his first visit Tintin, the eternally youthful reporter who only was ever known to file one story in all his adventures, is celebrating his 75th birthday this year with a new exhibition at London’s National Maritime Museum.
Tintin at Sea is a collection of original drawings by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi—more commonly known as Herge which was the French-speaking pronunciation of his reversed initial RG— and some of the artifacts and models that inspired him.
"Herge had a lifelong fascination with the sea and was above all a person who insisted on detail," the museum’s director Roy Clare told reporters at a preview of the exhibition which opens to the public on Wednesday and runs to September 5.
Tintin, with his trademark quiff and plus-four trousers, traveled all over the world on adventures that took him and his white terrier known as Snowy in English and Milou in French from Tibet to America and Iceland to Africa.
Books of his adventures have been translated into 60 languages and have sold 200 million copies since the comic strip character first saw the light of day in 1929.
Although the stories took Tintin and his irascible companion Captain Haddock as far as the moon, the sea is a recurring theme, in stories such as The Crab with the Golden Claws, Red Rackham’s Treasure and The Secrets of the Unicorn.
Herge, who only traveled widely after the success of his creation, was a self-taught artist. He stayed in Belgium through World War Two and was accused and cleared of collaboration immediately afterwards, although he suffered a period of being an exile as a result. He was also accused of racism in some of Tintin’s earlier adventures.
The reporter only once travelled to Britain, in the story The Black Isle, published in 1938. "Here you have four famous Belgians," Joren Vandeweyer, the country’s cultural attache(大使随员) to Britain, told reporters. "Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and of course Herge himself, back after 66 years." [br] Which of the following is true about Tintin’s adventures?
选项
A、Tintin had extended his adventure from the earth to the outer space.
B、Tintin had been to Milou, Tibet and Iceland for adventure.
C、Snowy was Tintin’s most faithful companion during his adventures.
D、Captain Haddock hadn’t joined Tintin’s adventures at sea.
答案
A
解析
第6段开头让步从句中的the moon表明选项A为正确的说法。根据第4段,Milou是小狗“白雪”的法文名,并非丁丁到过的地方,因此选项B不正确;选项C中的most faithful无从证明,因此该选项不正确;第6段表明阿道克船长与丁丁一起进行了海上历险,因此D不正确。
