Tourists from around the world visit Hollywood. Buses take them past the Hollywood sign. At Grauman's Chinese Theater, they press their hands into the imprints of movie stars who long ago pressed their hands into wet cement. Tourists pause at the gold stars in the sidewalks with the movie stars' names on them.
Buses drive past movie stars' houses. Tourists hope to see a star chatting with friends or tanning by the pool. Unfortunately, most of the houses are behind high hedges or down long winding driveways; tourists are lucky to even see a chimney.
And finally, tourists take pictures everywhere and with everyone. A popular picture opportunity in Hollywood is with movie characters like Chewbacca from "Star Wars."
However, Chewbacca might not be so popular anymore. Last week, outside Grauman's, Chewbacca gave two young female tourists a hard time. He kept trying to hug them as they took pictures of each other. The tour bus driver yelled at Chewbacca to leave the ladies alone. Chewbacca took off his headpiece, walked over to the driver, and head-butted him. The driver fell to the sidewalk. Someone called 911, and the cops came and arrested Chewbacca.
Chewbacca was not apologetic. "Women come to America looking for Prince Charming, and here I am!" he shouted to all.
"I hope they leave him in jail," said a tourist, who saw the whole incident. "That guy's an idiot."

Ngôi sao Hollywood và du khách
Du khách từ khắp nơi trên thế giới đều tới thăm Hollywood. Xe buyt đưa họ đi ngang qua bảng tên Hollywood. Tại Grauman's Chinese Theater, họ ấn tay của họ vào những dấu vết mà những ngôi sao Hollywood trước kia đã ấn vào xi-măng ướt. Du khách dừng lại những ngôi sao vàng trên vỉa hè với tên ngôi sao trên mình.
Xe buýt đi qua nhà của những ngôi sao. Du khách mong chờ được thấy một ngôi sao đang tán gẫu với bạn bè hay đang tắm nắng trong hồ. Không may thay, hầu hết ngôi nhà đều khuất sau những hàng rào cao hoặc ở dưới những khúc cua dài; du khách may mắn lám mới thấy một cái ống khói.
Và cuối cùng, du khách chụp hình mọi nơi, mọi người. Một cơ hội chụp hình ở Hollywood là với những nhân vật trong phim như Chewbecca trong "Star Wars."
Tuy nhiên Chewbecca có vẻ không nổi tiếng lắm. Tuần trước, ở bên ngoài Grauman's, Chewbecca đã làm cho hai nữ du khách trẻ mệt phờ. Anh ta cố gắng ôm lấy họ khi họ chụp hình cho nhau. Tài xế xe buýt hét vào Chewbecca để anh ta để họ yên. Chewbecca cởi mũ sắt ra, đi tới người tài xế, và húc đầu vào ông ta. Người tài xế ngã xuống vỉa hè. Ai đó gọi 911, và rồi cảnh sát tới và tóm cổ Chewbecca.
Chewbecca không ăn năn chút nào. "Phụ nữ tới Mỹ chỉ để tìm kiếm một hoàng tử quyến rũ, và tôi ở đây" anh ta hét vào mặt mọi người.
"Tôi hi vọng họ sẽ bỏ tù anh ta," một du khách nói, người đã chứng kiến toàn bộ vụ xô xát. "Đúng là một gã điên."

*Translate into Vietnamese: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Du khách ở khắp nơi trên thế giới đến tham quan Hollywood. Xe buýt chở du khách đi qua những biển hiệu của Hollywood. Tại Grauman's Chinese Theater, du khách ấn tay mình vào dấu tay mà các ngôi sao màn bạc đã từng in dấu tay vào xi-măng ướt từ lâu lắm rồi. Du khách dùng chân bên các ngôi sao vàng có tên các ngôi sao màn bạc ở trên lề đường.
Xe buýt chạy ngang nhà của các ngôi sao. Du khách hy vọng được nhìn thấy các ngôi sao đang nói chuyện phiếm với bạn bè hoặc đang phơi nắng bên hồ bơi. Thật đáng tiếc, hầu hết các ngôi nhà đều ở phía sau hàng giậu cao hoặc ở phía dưới xa của con đường quanh co. Những du khách thật may mắn cũng chỉ nhìn thấy được ống khói mà thôi.
Và cuối cùng, du khách chụp hình khắp mọi nơi và với tất cả mọi người. Một tấm hình được ưa chuộng ở Hollywood là có cơ hội được chụp với nhân vật trong phim giống như Chewbacca trong phim "Star War".
Tuy nhiên, có lẽ Chewbacca không phải là người nổi tiếng đến như thế. Tuần trước, ở phía ngoài Graumans', Chewbacca đã làm cho hai nữ du khách trẻ không được thoải mái. Ông ta cố ôm lấy hai cô khi họ đang chụp hình cho nhau. Tài xế xe du lịch đã quát bảo Chewbacca để cho các cô được yên. Chewbacca bỏ mũ ra, đi về phía người tài xế và húc đầu vào ông ta. Người tài xế rớt xuống lề đường. Ai đó đã gọi 911. Cảnh sát tới và bắt giữ Chewbacca.
Chewbacca không thấy hối tiếc gì cả. "Phụ nữ tới Hoa Kỳ để tìm kiếm vị Hoàng tử Quyến Rũ, và đó là tôi đây. Hắn gào to với mọi người.
"Tôi hy vọng người ta cho hắn vào tù," theo lời một du khách, người đã chứng kiến toàn bộ việc xô xát. "Đó là một thằng ngốc."
