Idol Worship in My Eyes
Most people have their idols, be it scientists or pop singers. Many youngsters, in particular, worship stars in the sports and entertainment field, who catch most of the public attention.
大部分人都有他们的偶像，无论是科学家还是流行歌星。尤其是许多年轻人，崇拜那些体育界和娱乐圈最吸引大众注意力的明星。
It is hard to say whether idol worshiping is good or bad, for it is not a black-and-white issue. For one thing, idols may inspire they young people in different ways. Usually, these public figures walk into the spotlight after a great amount of hard work, therefore they set up role models as talented and industrious persons. But for another thing, it may not be wise to blindly admire anyone. Some youngsters try to imitate their idols——dressing, pronunciation, life style and everything. This is dangerous, because to err is human and stars have their weaknesses as well, and in some cases, even scandals.
很难说偶像崇拜是好还是坏，因为这不是个黑白分明的问题。一方面，偶像可以通过不同方式启发年轻人。通常，这些公众人物是在大量努力工作之后才走到聚光灯下的，因此他们作为有天赋和勤劳的人，树立起了典范。但是从另一方面来说，盲目崇拜任何人也许都是不明智的。一些年轻人试图模仿他们的偶像一一服饰、发音、生活方式和所有事情。这很危险，因为"人非圣贤孰能无过"，明星也有他们的缺点，而且在某些情况下，甚至会有丑闻。
As I perceive this phenomenon, there is nothing wrong with idol worshiping inherently. What matter are the aspects in which we admire them and to what extent it goes. Even if a certain star always presents a good public image, the "worship" should not go to such extreme as pure imitation, otherwise there will be a lot of "carbon copies" lacking individuality. (196 words)
根据我对这一现象的看法，崇拜偶像从本质上没有什么不对的。真正重要的是我们崇拜他们什么方面，以及崇拜到了什么程度。即使某个明星展现的公众形象一直很好，这种"崇拜"也不应该走向完全模仿的极端，否则就会出现很多缺乏个性的"一模一样的东西"。
【高分句型解析】
This is dangerous, because to err is human and stars have their weaknesses as well… 这很危险，因为"人非圣贤孰能无过"，明星也有他们的缺点……
点评：这句话中活用了习语"to err is human",表示“人非圣贤孰能无过”，在写作中正确运用习语成语，是文章高分的一个因素。
…otherwise there will be a lot of "carbon copies" lacking individuality. ……否则就会出现很多缺乏个性的"一模一样的东西"。
点评：这句话中活用了短语"carbon copies",这个短语本意指“复定的副本”，在本文指缺缺乏个性的人，通过"carbon copies"这一形象的描述，使得文字变得栩栩如生。
