Fame is much like an ani mal chas ing its own tail who, whe n he captures it, does not know what else to do but to con ti nue chas ing it. Fame and the exhilarati ng 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 ofte n gain it as a result of process ing a single tale nt or skill: singing, dancing, pain ti ng, or writi ng, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marked aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convin ces the performer to continue perform ing 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 pain ti ng similar see nes or portraits, or the actor is tired of play ing the same character repeatedly. The dema nd of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success, fame. If the artist attempts to cha nge his or her style of writi ng or dancing or singing, etc, the audie nee may turn away and look to confe赠予fleeting （飞逝的、短暂的）fickle（无常的、浮躁的）fame on another and then, in time, on ano ther, and so on and so on. （注：可查字典，词义自定）

于暗淡。有了盼头，会觉得太阳每天都是新的，不管是望梅止渴，还是画饼充饥，它都会激励你不停手中的桨，去追逐哪怕一星微小的火光。

土地去掉水分，就成了沙漠；人没了盼，还剩什么？小盼头支撑人的一天，

大盼头支撑人的一生。

人是决不能没有盼头的。

试译：凡成名者，大多有一技之长，或能歌，或善舞，或长于绘画，或精于

写作，都因各自演艺中形成的强烈个性和鲜明风格而名声鹊起。然而，正是这得

来的名望，使他们常年固守着自己的本色不敢越雷池半步，因为这是公众的要求

和喜爱。可随着时间的推移，歌星若年复一年唱着同样的歌，画家若一成不变画

着同样的画,演员若一如既往重复着同一角色，恐怕连他自己都会厌烦。但为了

保全已有的成就和名望，他只能一味顺从这种需要而沦为公众的人质。若要改换笔调，转变舞风，创新唱法，观众就会舍他而去，将那来去不定、乍起乍落的名望声誉随即送与他人，如此这般转来转去，无休无止。

A day without hope would be uni mag in ably pale. There must be somethi ng to

look forward to each day to brighten one ' s life and keep it out of shadows. To a person cherishing hopes every morning rises a new sun. Even if it is a fantasy or an

illusion, so long as it shows a ray of hope it still urges you on in pursuit of that little sparkle without letup.

Deprived of moisture content, soil tur ns into desert. Deprived of hope, what is there left to a person? A small hope sustains a person for a day, a great one for a lifetime.

Huma n beings cannot do without someth ing to look forward to.
