盲目追星

On June 25th, 2009, the famous American singer Michael Jackson, who had been widely recognized as the King of Pop, passed away in his mansion in Los Angeles. Millions of fans worldwide are astonished at the news and 12 committed suicide to follow their idol. Jackson has been one of my favorite singers since young, I especially loved some of his hits such the Thriller. Therefore, I was really upset that a real legend like him passed away, but I felt especially sad to see other fans not treasuring their lives. Music is said to be the only universal language of mankind, it is able to raise one’s mood and when we listen to the music we love, it is easy for us to idolize the singer. However, I believe there is a limit to everything, for us secondary school students, it is alright to have an idol, but we should be conscious enough to see the boundary, and do not blindly follow the stars.

大意：2009年6月25日，美国著名歌手，摇滚之王，迈克尔杰克逊在洛杉矶的住家中逝世。 全世界数百万的歌迷们为之震惊，更有12人随之自杀。其实，迈克尔杰克逊从小就是我最喜爱的歌手之一，我特别喜欢他的歌曲，如颤栗等。所以，听到消息我也很难过，但我更为那些不珍惜生命的人们感到难过。有人说音乐是人类惟一的世界语言，它可以让人心情愉悦，当我们挺喜欢的音乐时，我们很容易对歌手感到崇拜。然而，我相信所有事都有个度，对我们中学生而言，崇拜偶像没关系，但我们要保持理智以看到界线，不可盲目追星。
