选项
答案
Mothers may enjoy songs by the latest pop stars sometimes, but never seem to care much about their personal lives or opinions on politics the way their children often do. The truth is that celebrity’s opinions matter much less to adults than they do to younger people. This is likely because older people have more varied experience in life than most of these celebrities.
Our heroes and role models are almost always older than us, and therefore we are easily influenced by what those models think and do.
Our opinions form through personal experience, so regardless of how famous someone might be, if their life experience is still fairly limited, they probably have less to offer us than our elders might.
I love Taylor Swift and her songs, but I don’t care about her views on politics, because she is at least ten years younger than me, and has not had the learning experiences I’ve had. Fame isn’t a factor in determining the value of someone’s opinions, as adults tend to form their own ideas from experience, not from a youthful role model.
Another reason celebrity’s opinions matter little to older people is that the life experience of celebrities is very different from an average person’s.
Unless we are big fans of a celebrity’s personal life and views, most people will only care about the product they put out. Their private life is their own, and does not affect us.
I love Clint Eastwood’s works as an actor and director, but disagree with him completely on politics, because my experience has taught me differently from the things he says in interviews.
Most celebrities live posh, insulated lives, while most average adults work hard and live simply, with little need of celebrity opinion.
Young people look up to celebrities because they are older, successful, and glamorous, while adults are less fascinated by these traits. Unless these models are mature and have similar views to their own, older folks won’t care about their opinions.
解析
当我们父母年轻时,他们喜欢小虎队、“四大天王”,到了我们这一代,哈韩哈日的年轻人也是不计可数。为什么年轻人比年长者更看重名人明星的言论呢?名人明星在演艺或者体育方面特别擅长,但这代表他们的观点也同样有说服力吗?其实,名人明星很可能只比我们大一点儿,所以他们的观点也不一定比我们成熟,他们的生活圈子和我们普通人也相去甚远。而年长者比较理智,因此,他们相较于年轻人来说更不容易接受名人明星的观点。
