It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries?Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库).So who would begrudge them their rewards?
It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star,there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind,so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a map who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows,too,that the rewards for success are very high indeed:they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it,he will certainly earn them.That's the essence of private enterprise.
【语篇解读】 明星的生活总是令人羡慕不已。他们的生活中有光鲜的一面:不菲的收入,以豪华汽车和私人飞机代步,一言一行都成为人们关注的焦点……然而,我们也应看到,他们活得很累,他们为成功所付出的艰辛和代价是一般人难以想象的。
