Topic:
Many newspapers and magazines feature stories about the private lives of famous people. We know what they eat, where they buy their clothes and who they love. We also often see pictures of them in private situations. Is it appropriate for a magazine or newspaper to give this kind of private information about people?
英语范文
Generally, people read newspapers to find out about world current affairs and they read magazines to be entertained. Therefore, one would expect to find articles that feature the private lives of famous people in magazines rather than newspapers. However, nowadays, more and more newspapers include stories like these which are neither informative nor useful.
In my opinion, this type of gossip about people's private lives should not be in newspapers for several reasons. Firstly, for example, the fact that Princess Diana is going out with a sportsman is not important news. Secondly, if newspapers want to publish articles about famous people they should focus on their public events and achievements. In other words, if there is an article about Princess Diana it should be about her works of charity, which will increase public awareness of important problems. In addition, journalists should make sure that they write about the facts only, not rumours[d24]. One should be able to rely on newspapers for the actual truth.
Magazines, on the other hand, focus on social news. But I feel it is more acceptable for them to contain some features about famous personalities. In addition to being popular reading, these stories often benefit the stars by giving free publicity to them, thereby helping their careers. However, I also believe that magazine stories should not mention things that are too embarrassing or untrue just to attract people to buy the magazine. Sensational stories, such as these, cause great unhappiness to the people concerned.
In conclusion, I think newspapers should concentrate on real news but magazines can feature some articles on people's private lives.
题目：
一些报纸和杂志报道明星的私生活。我们知道了他们吃什么，去哪儿购物，他们的恋爱情况。我们还经常看到他们的生活照。你认为报纸或杂志应不应该报道明星的私生活？
译文：
一般来说，人们阅读报纸是为了解世界时事，阅读杂志是为了娱乐。因此，人们更希望找到那些报道名人私生活的杂志文章而不是报纸。然而，如今，越来越多的报纸选择刊登明星趣事，从而使报纸失去了信息性和实用性。
在我看来，这种有关私生活的闲话不应该出现在报纸上的原因有以下几个。首先，例如，戴安娜王妃和某个运动员一起外出并不是重要新闻。其次，如果报纸要发布有关名人的文章，就应把重点放在他们的公共活动和取得的成就上。换句话说，如果有一篇关于戴安娜王妃的文章便应该是和她的慈善事业有关的，这将提高公众对重要问题的公共意识。此外，记者应
确保他们写的仅仅是事实，而不是谣言。以使人们应该更信赖报纸，因其所报道的是事实。
另一方面，杂志注重社会新闻。但我觉得杂志更适于做一些关于知名人士的专题报道。除了通俗读物外，通过免费宣传这些故事往往使众多明星受益匪浅，从而有助于他们的事业。然而，我还认为，杂志的文章不应该为了吸引人们购买杂志而提及那些令人太过尴尬或不真实的东西。比如说，一些耸人听闻的故事就造成了有关人士的极大不满。
总之，我认为报纸应专注于真正的消息，但杂志可以报道一些关于人们私生活的文章。
