金凌虹： 四六级作文预热(青少年问题)

　　2014年6月英语四六级作文预测范文二：青少年问题(2006年考研英语写作真题)

　　From the picture given above, we can observe that there are two young men using different ways to show admiration towards their role model. By writing Beckham on his face, the man on the left picture expresses his intense enthusiasm for Beckham. Meanwhile, to make himself resemble his idol, the man on the right picture spends 300 RMB making a Beckhams hairstyle.

　　The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire their role models in an excessive and blind way. Quite a few reasons can account for this: for one thing, with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars, young people can hardly resist the charm of them. They regard superstars as their examples and desire to be people like them. For another, youngsters craze for superstars can also be attributed to the influence of the force ofgroup dynamics :when members of their social networks show great enthusiasm for some idols, young people are so easily influenced by their friends or classmates and then imitate the behavior they see. This could be a subtle form of peer pressure.

　　We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad. Simply imitating role models dresses or behaviors, youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitely interfere with their personal life or studies. However，when learning idols diligence, spirit and ambitions, young people can transform their worship towards idols into the passion for life, the stimulus to success and the driving force of struggling. Hence, whether idol worship is positive or negative is up to youngsters themselves. (272 words)

　　参考译文：

　　如图所示，我们可以看到有两个年轻人用不同的方式展现对他们的偶像的仰慕。通过把贝克汉姆写在脸上，左边这个人表达了对贝克汉姆的热情喜爱。同时，为了使自己更加像偶像，右边这个人花了300元钱做了贝克汉姆的发型。

　　这幅漫画在于告诉我们一个现象，那就是，很多的青少年都以过度而盲目的方式崇拜偶像。相当多的理由可以解释这个现象：首先，大众传媒传播明星的积极形象，年轻人几乎无法拒绝他们的魅力。他们将偶像当成自己的榜样，并且渴望成为他们那样的人。另外，年轻人对明星的崇拜也可以归结为所谓的群体动力学的力量的影响：当他们社交网络中的成员显示出对某些偶像的巨大热情，年轻人很容易受到他们的朋友和同学的影响并且模仿他们所看到的行为。这是一种同龄人压力的潜在形式。

　　我们无法得出绝对的结论，是否偶像崇拜是好还是坏。如果只是模仿明星的穿着、行为，年轻人可能会失去自我，这很明显会影响他们的个人生活和学习。然而，当他们学习偶像的勤奋、精神和上进心的时候，年轻人可以将偶像崇拜化为对生活的激情，成功的动力和奋斗的驱动力。因此，偶像崇拜是好是坏，由年轻人们自己决定。
