六級聽力長對話2原文：

　　W: Good evening, and welcome to the tonight’s edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean-- actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Nervy is the author of a new biography of Dean. Good evening, Edward!

　　M: Hello, Tina!

　　W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean’s early life。

　　M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn’t there long, though, because his mother passed away just four years later. James’ father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt。

　　W: So how did he get into acting?

　　M: Well, first he acted in plays of high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951, he moved to New York to more stage acting。

　　W: Then when did his movie career really start?

　　M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success. But the movie that really made him famous was his second one-- Rebel without Cause. That was about teenagers who felt like they didn’t fit into the society。

　　W: So how many more movies did he make?

　　M: Just one more. Then he died in a car crash in California in 1955.

　　W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies. So what made him the legend he still is today?

　　M: Well, I guess is his looks, his acting ability, his short life and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people thought him as a symbol of American youth。
