追星
“追星 (star chasing)”是指人们对某个明星特别崇拜 (worship),想要了解关于他/她的一切,这种行为多发生在青少年中。“追星”也是“双刃剑 (double-edged sword)”,盲目地“追星”会分散精力,影响到青少年的学习。但若理性对待,它也有积极的一面。因为它可以让人拥有敬慕的对象,以他们为榜样,努力追求属于自己的成功未来。总之,“追星”有利也有弊,应该取其精华,弃其糟粕,从而树立健康的生活态度和价值观。
Star Chasing
Star chasing refers to one's worship for a celebrity and the strong feeling to know everything about him or her. It mainly occurs among adolescents. Star chasing is also a double-edged sword. Blindly chasing after stars will distract the attention of the youth from their study. However, if treated rationally, it also has a positive side. With someone to respect, admire and emulate, the adolescent will strive for a successful future. In short, there are both advantages and disadvantages in star chasing. Its essence should be taken and the dross discarded so as to foster healthy life, attitudes and values.
Celebrity worship has been identified as one of the most common forms of idolatry these days, However, many fans go too far with pursuing stars. Some have facial plastic surgery just to look a little more like the star they worship. Others even pay all their money to see the stars in person. I personally hold that blindly wors hipping famous people should be deterred from becoming rampant.
Due to daily gossip columns in the tabloids and the ubiquitous celebrity news in the media, researchers report that about one third of people suffer from Celebrity Worship Syndrome, an actual syndrome that can become obsessional, replacing conventional relations, Some fans of famous people tend to indulge ins daydreaming about stars they worship. Having less communication with their friends and families, some obsessed fans ignore conventional relations, leading to psychological problems or disorders. Blind worship undermines young people's spiritual pursuits in real art, literature, philosophy, and science, without which they can hardly hold the sacred torch of civilization transferred to them from preceding generations. It is no exaggeration to say that blind star-worship will probably lead young people whose discretion is not enough into abysmal darkness, and thus buried with them is the hope of the future.
In conclusion, given the above harmful effects of blind star-worship, every effort must be made to help fans to get out of the hopeless swamp of star-worship.
过分追星
名人崇拜已被确认为最常见的一种崇拜形式, 然而,许多粉丝太过沉迷于追星了。有些人做面部整形手术,只是为了看起来更像他们崇拜的明星。甚至有些人支付所有的钱亲自去看明星。我个人认为, 应该阻止盲目崇拜名人成为越来越猖獗的一种现象。
由于每天媒体报道中的八卦和无处不在的名人新闻,研究人员报告说,大约有三分之一的人患有明星崇拜综合症,这实际上是一种沉迷于追星,抛弃传统关系的一种症状。一些名人的粉丝,越来越沉溺于幻想他们崇拜的明星。减少与朋友和家人的交流,有些痴迷的粉丝忽视了传统的关系,导致心理问题或障碍。盲目崇拜,削弱了年轻人在精神方面的追求,比如对于真正的艺术,文学,哲学,科学的追求,没有这种追求,他们很难保持前几代人传给他们神圣的文明火炬。毫不夸张地说,盲目崇拜明星很可能会导致那些没有主见的年轻人陷入无尽的黑暗之中。他们的将来也会因此被埋葬。
总之,鉴于上述盲目崇拜明星的有害影响,必须尽一切努力帮助追星族摆脱毫无希望的明星崇拜的泥沼。
Blindly Worshipping Stars
With the ever-growing popularity of the Internet, it is becoming much easier to keep track of your favorite celebrities. Because of the vast amounts of information about these celebrities that exists, it is easy to become mesmerized by them.
But blindly worshipping these stars can be dangerous. First of all, celebrities tend to live by different rules to everyone else. If you were to adapt their unhealthy lifestyle, you would most certainly have to pay for the consequences. Secondly, celebrities are often seen in expensive clothing, cars, and homes that most people cannot afford. In addition, photographs that you see of celebrities are often touched up to make them look more perfect than they really are.
If there are celebrities that you like, it is best to remember that their lives are very different from most people's lives and that though may seem glamorous, they have their own imperfections like everyone else. (152 words)
盲目追星
随着互联网的使用越来越普遍,我们能够更方便地了解到自己喜欢的明星们的动态。因为网上有大量关于这些名人的信息,所以很容易对他们痴迷。
但是盲目追星却是很危险的。首先,名人们的生活准则一般不同于普通大众。如果你非要盲从他们不健康的生活方式,必然要付出相应的代价。第二,名人们通常看起来都穿昂贵的衣饰,坐名贵香车,住奢华豪宅,这些都是大多数人无法承担支付的。而且,关于明星的照片也通常美化名人,使他们看起来比真实生活中更加完美。
如果你也有自己喜欢的明星,最好要记住这一点: 他们的生活不同于大多数人,即使看起来非常风光,他们也像其他人一样存在着缺点和不足。
