who is Captain Archibald Haddock?
Captain Archibald Haddock is a fictional character in The Adventures of Tintin, the series of classic Belgian comic books written and illustrated by Hergé. He is Tintin's best friend, a multi-millionaire seafaring Merchant Marine Captain.
Haddock uses a range of colourful insults and curses to express his feelings, such as "billions of blue blistering barnacles" , "ten thousand thundering typhoons", "bashi-bazouk", "visigoths", "kleptomaniac"……but nothing that is actually considered a swear word. Haddock is a hard drinker, particularly fond of rum and whisky. His bouts of drunkenness are often used for comic effect.
人物个性:
阿道克船长全名是阿奇波尔德·阿道克。急性子、嗜酒如命、为朋友两肋插刀。他从不掩饰自己的感情和想法,无论是愤怒、焦虑、不快还是害怕,他都能直白而生动地展示出来,用他自创的语言!他好奇、顽劣固执,常常破口大骂。在困难面前他保持敬畏、坚决退缩,却在丁丁和威士忌的帮助下,他会把一切危难抛诸脑后,冲上阵地。他自由纯粹,不受拘束。他身材高大,身体壮实,虽然长着凶恶的脸庞,性格暴躁,脾气粗鲁,却心肠善良,充满爱心,个性天真,像个长不大的孩子,他最大的特色就是骂人的话绝不重样(虽然有的时候这些话make no sense)!
