【每周一段1015】大家好!这周的“每周一段”的原文段落选自美国公共广播(NPR)。段落有微调。

一、文本

As a refugee growing up in Tel Aviv, Haim Saban remembers not having enough money to eat. As an adult, he hustled his way into the entertainment business, writing theme songs for classic cartoons like Inspector Gadget and Heathcliff. Yet it is producing the mega-hit Mighty Morphin Power Rangers that put him on track to becoming a billionaire media titan.

译文:

哈伊姆·萨班小时候是难民,在特拉维夫长大,他现在还记得当时没有足够的钱来买吃的。成年后,他通过个人努力闯入了娱乐圈,为像《神探加杰特》和《希斯与利夫》这样的经典卡通片写主题曲。但真正让他成为媒体大亨和亿万富翁的是他制作了非常受人喜欢的《恐龙战队》。
