Hollywood(好莱坞) is a suburb of the city of Los Angeles(洛杉矶) in California.Until 1908 it was no more than a quiet village on the northern side of the city,but in that year William Selig,one of the first people to make films,set up a film-producing workshop(车间) in Los Angeles.By 1911,David and William Horsely had set up another one in Hollywood,and at about the same time oil was discovered in the neighborhood.Thus Hollywood quickly became a big district given over to the film industry and to oil wells(油井).
The early makers of lilms found Hollywood a good place for their work because of its clear,sunny,rain-free westher,which allowed pictures to be taken all the year round.Also,it was known that every kind of scene needed for films,whether town,country,sea,desert or snow-capped mountains,could be found within the area of California.Today,when most films can be "shot"(拍摄)under cover by man made lighting,these advantages(优点)are not so important.
