考官范文:
As a result of constant media attention, sports professionals in my country have become stars and celebrities, and those at the top are paid huge salaries. Just like movie stars, they live extravagantlifestyles with huge houses and cars.
Many people find their rewards unfair, especially when comparing these super salaries with those of top surgeons or research scientists, or even leading politicians who have the responsibilityof governing the country. However, sports salaries are not determined by considering the contribution to society a person makes, or the level of responsibility he or she holds. Instead, they reflect the public popularity of sport in general and the level of public support that successful stars can generate. So the notion of ‘fairness’ is not the issue.
Those who feel that sports stars’ salaries are justified might argue that the number of professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform. in their relatively short career. The pressure from the media is intense and there is little privacy out of the spotlight. So all of thesefactors may justify the huge earnings.
Personally, I think that the amount of money such sports stars make is more justified than the huge earnings of movie stars, but at the same time, it indicatesthat our society places more value on sport than on more essential professions and achievements.
鄙人拙译:
在媒体不断地推波助澜下,我国的许多职业运动员已成为了明星和名人。那些顶尖的运动员收入颇丰。像一些电影明星一样,他(她)们也是香车豪宅,生活极为奢华。
许多人觉得与那些挣高薪的顶级外科医生,从事研究的科学家或有管理国家责任的高官相比,他(她)们的回报极为不公。然而,运动员的薪水并不是由一个人对社会所做出的贡献或者其责任水平所决定。相反,它们反映的是从整体上来说体育运动在大众中的普及性以及那些成功的体育明星对促进公众对运动的支持所做出的贡献。所以,“公平”的概念并不是问题关键之所在。
那些认为体育明星拿高薪无可厚非的人争辩说那些有天赋的体育运动员实属凤毛麟角,高薪是对他(她)们娴熟技能和通往成功之路所付出努力的承认。竞争持续不断,运动员在他(她)们相对较短的运动生涯中迎接每次检验。来自于媒体的压力令人窒息,而且他(她)们必须生活在镁光灯下,没有隐私。这一切都证明了他(她)们高薪得之无愧。
在我个人看来,比起电影明星的高薪,体育明星的高薪更受之无愧。但与此同时,该现象也显得出我们的社会更关注体育而非其它一些更重要的领域和成就。
