When people say "culture", wethink of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is acartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—MickeyMouse.
Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in thecartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickeywas Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoonanimal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like acommon man, but he always tried to face any danger.
In his early films, Mickey was unlucky andhad many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, hewas always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the"little man" win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became thefirst cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today'scartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone stillknows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey's?

当人们说到“文化”时，我们会想到艺术和历史。但在美国文化中，一个非常著名的符号是卡通。我们都知道并喜爱那只拥有两只大圆耳朵的黑色小老鼠——米老鼠。
八十多年前，它首次出现在卡通片《威利汽船》中。当这部卡通片于1928年11月18日在纽约上映时，它是第一部带有声音和音乐的卡通片。米老鼠背后的男人是沃尔特·迪士尼。他变得非常富有和成功。在20世纪30年代，他制作了87部米老鼠卡通片。
有些人可能会问，这只卡通动物是如何变得如此受欢迎的。其中一个主要原因是米老鼠就像一个普通人，但他总是努力面对任何危险。
在他的早期电影中，米老鼠很不幸，遇到了很多问题，比如失去他的房子或女朋友米妮。然而，他总是准备好竭尽全力。人们去电影院看“小人物”获胜。他们中的大多数人都想成为像米老鼠那样的人。
1978年11月18日，米老鼠成为第一个在好莱坞星光大道上拥有星星的卡通人物。今天的卡通片通常不像小米老鼠那么简单，但每个人仍然知道并喜爱他。谁的耳朵比米老鼠的更出名呢?
