高分范文及解析
01
Celebrities are now everywhere — on TV, in magazines, or in sports arenas. Theomnipresence has earned them a cult following among young people, even for those who set a bad example. In my opinion, this is unfortunately negative. 38 words
解析
omnipresence: 无所不在
a cult following: 大批狂热的追随者
02
One serious problem that can arise from the admiration is that it can lead to blind imitation. While in the transition period to adulthood, the young admirers see media and sports stars in the news everyday and mimic what they do, fantasizing about being like them when growing up. Certainly, neither a life of considerable luxury nor an epidemic of slimness those superstars lead is a good influence. Their behavior (drug use and drink driving) sometimes could be even destructive.
解析
fantasize about: 幻想
a life of considerable luxury: 生活
an epidemic of slimness: 瘦身风潮
a good influence: 有正面影响力的人或事物
03
The worship also confuses people in distinguishing between right and wrong. This is because when celebrities who leave much to be desired are more well-known and worshipped than others, the young may question the value of determination and hard work. The distorted view, then, would mislead them into believing that success could be easily achieved without effort but with shameful practice.
解析
confuse somebody in doing something: 使人困惑
leave much to be desired: 还有诸多不足之处
04
Finally, this distracts the young from what they should care about. With superstarsreeling the young into their gossips and scandals, the young fans would waste all daydelving into the useless information. At this point, other serious news, for example, about politics or other social issues, seems far less appealing. However, it is these kinds of news that people should give closer attention to.
解析
with 结构：独立主格
gossip and scandal: 绯闻丑闻
delve into: 钻研
05
In conclusion, being a celebrity comes with a responsibility to handle the power they possess over their young supporters, and therefore, they should change the way they act and be like a role model. The young supporters, at the same time, should be able to distinguish what good traits of the idols could be emulated.
解析
good traits: 良好品质
emulate: 效仿
