Some Stars Suffocate in Fame
It’s lonely at the top.
And never before has the isolation of a superstar been so vividly portrayed as in the Michael Jackson documentary airing this month on ABC and VH1.
Jackson’s trip with his children to the Berlin zoo turned into a small riot. While he was shopping in Las Vegas, gawking and photo-flashing fans pressed against the store windows.
We know celebrities live in a bubble. But this is a glimpse of what it’s like to be trapped inside.
有些明星为名所累
高处不胜寒
本月在ABC和VH1频道播映的关于Michael Jackson的纪录片首次生动地展现了作为一位巨星与世人相隔的一面。
Jackson和他孩子们的柏林动物园之旅引起了一次小小的骚乱。而当他在Las Vegas购物时,影迷们挤在橱窗上盯着他看,还拍照。
我们都知道名人生活在虚幻中。然而,这个纪录片可以使观众瞥见身陷其中是什么滋味。
刚刚看到你的问题。啥奖励都没有呀?呵呵,开玩笑了,希望能帮到你就好。

(一)In The Air
Matt and his wife lived in the country. Matt was very stingy(吝啬) and hated spending money. One day a fair(集市) came to the nearby town.
“Let’s go to the fair, Matt,” his wife said, “We haven’t been anywhere for a long time.”
Matt thought about this for a while. He knew he would have to spend money at the fair. At last he said, “All right, but I’m not going to spend much money. We’ll look at things, but we won’t buy anything.”
They went to the fair and looked at all the things to buy. There were many things Matt’s wife wanted to buy ,but he would not let her spend any money.
Then , in a nearby field, they saw a small airplane.
“Fun flight!” the notice said, “$10 for 10 minutes.”
Matt had never been in an airplane and he wanted to go on a fun flight. However, he didn’t want to have to pay for his wife, as well.
“I’ve only got $10,” he told the pilot. ( 飞行员). “Can my wife come with me for free?” The pilot wasn’t selling many tickets, so he said , “I’ll make a bargain with you. If your wife doesn’t scream or shout, she can have a free flight.”
Matt agreed, and got into the small airplane with his wife.
The pilot took off and made his airplane do all kinds of things. At one moment it was flying upside down.
When the plane landed , the pilot said, “O.K. your wife didn’t make a sound . She can have her ride free.”
“Thank you,” Matt said. “it wasn’t easy for her, you know , especi ally (尤其 ) when she fell out.”
赏析:夸张是指借助艺术想象,以现实生活为基础,抓住描写对象的某些特征加以夸张,以突出事物本质。夸张的修辞手法往往能造成幽默的效果。这种修辞手法在我国的相声段子里面非常普遍,在外国的幽默故事中也随处可见。
这则幽默就是用夸张的手法讽刺了一位极其吝啬的男人。吝啬鬼在世界文学作品中并不少见,中国古有多点了一根灯草就不能安然死去的严监生,外国有临死前瞪着发金光的眼睛想夺取金色十字架的葛朗台。
吝啬是落后的生活方式、不健康的封建思想在人脑海中的根深蒂固。它不独存在于哪个制度,哪个社会。即便在享受现代物质文明----乘飞机旅行的今天,我们的主人公麦栋夫妇,为了那可怜的10美元,也会置生命安全于不顾,“宁死不叫”。他们的这种小气跟他们所享受的现代文明形成了极大的一个反差。
作者在文章的最后运用了夸张的修辞手法“it wasn’t easy for her , you know ,especially when she fell out”.一切显得那样的不尽情理,一切又似乎是那样的合情合理:一旦一个社会的精神文明不能赶上他的物质文明时,就有可能会产生一些变态的东西。
读之此,我们就不难体会我们国家为何一再强调两个文明一起抓了
