Fame is very much like an animal chasing its own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it. Fame and the exhilarating celebrity that accompanies it, force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction. Ironic isn’t it?
Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, etc. , the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on. Well then, why does anyone want fame? Do you? Do you want to be known to many people and admired by them? Do you want the money that usually comes with fame? Do you want the media to notice everything you do or say both in public and in private? Do you want them hounding you, questioning you and trying to undo you? It is very obvious that to be famous is to be the target of everyone who disagrees with you as well as of the media. Fame turns all the lights on and while it gives power and prestige, it takes the you out of you: you must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be.
选项
答案
声誉很像一只追逐自己尾巴的动物,当它抓住了自己的尾巴后,除了继续追逐不知做什么。声誉与伴随其而来的令人兴奋的知名度使名人走向自我毁灭。这很具有讽刺意味,不是吗? 那些声名鹊起之人多是由于有一技之长:唱歌、跳舞、绘画或写作等。一个成功的表演者发展了一种雄踞市场的风格因而受到欢迎。正是由于这种受欢迎程度才使得他继续保持这种风格,因为这种风格是大众需要和喜爱的。可随着时间流逝,歌手为年复一年地以同样的方式唱同样的歌而感到心烦,画家为画类似的风景人物而感到厌倦,演员为反复演同样的角色而疲惫不堪。公众的需求令艺术家们不得不受制于自己获得的成功和名气。若他们企图改变自己的笔调、舞步、唱腔,听众或观众便会舍他而去,把稍纵即逝的名誉转移给别人,随后又转移给另一人,如此不停地转下去。 那么,人们为什么要追求声誉呢?你追求声誉吗?你希望许多人都知道你、赞赏你吗?你想要得到伴随声誉而来的金钱吗?你想要媒体注意你在公开或私下场合的一言一行吗?你想让他们追逐着你,向你提问,想办法毁掉你吗?非常明显,你要出名就得成为反对你的每个人以及媒体的目标。声誉把一切灯光打亮,一边给你权力和威望,另一边也把“你”赶出你的自身之外:你必须成为大众心目中的你,而不是那个真实的你或者可能成为的你。
