答案 Stress of Being a Celebrity How awful it would be to be a celebrity. Always in the public eye, celebrities lead very stressful lives, for no matter how glamorous or powerful they are, they have too little privacy, too much pressure, and no safety. For one thing, celebrities don’t have the privacy an ordinary person has. The most personal details of their lives are splashed all over the front pages of tabloids and entertainment websites so that bored supermarket shoppers can read about Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi’s divorce process or Huang Xiaoming’s love affair with Anglebaby. Even a celebrity’s family is hauled into the spotlight. A teenage son’s street fight with a taxi driver or a wife’s humble family background becomes the subject of glaring headlines. Photographers hound celebrities at their homes, in restaurants, and on the street, hoping to get a picture of a star guzzling a beer with friends. When celebrities try to do things that normal people do, like eating out or attending a basketball game, they run the risk of being interrupted by thoughtless paparazzi or mobbed by aggressive fans. In addition to the loss of privacy, celebrities must cope with the constant pressure of having to look great and act right. Their physical appearance is always under observation. Famous women, especially, suffer from the spotlight, drawing remarks like "She really looks old" or "Boy, has she put on weight." Unflattering pictures of celebrities are photographers’ treasure to be sold to the highest bidder; this increases the pressure on celebrities to look good at all time. Famous people are also under pressure to stay calm and collected under any circumstances. Because they are constantly observed, they have no freedom to blow off steam or to do something just a little crazy. Most importantly, celebrities must deal with the stress of being the constant danger. The friendly grabs, hugs, and kisses of enthusiastic fans can quickly turn into uncontrolled assaults on a celebrity’s hair, clothes, and car. Most people agree that photographers bear some responsibility for the death of one of the leading celebrities of the 1990’s— Princess Diana. Whether or not their pursuit caused the crash that took her life, it’s clear that she was chased as aggressively as any escaped convict by bloodhounds. And being famous can even lead to deliberately lethal attacks. The attempt to kill Ronald Reagan and the murder of John Lennon came about because two unbalanced people became obsessed with these world-famous figures. Famous people must live with the fact that they are always fair game—and never out of season. Some people dream of starring roles, their names in lights, and their pictures on the cover of magazines. But the cost is far too high. A famous person gives up private life, feels pressured to look and act certain ways all the time, and is never completely safe. An ordinary, tranquil life is far saner and more attractive than a life of fame.
