Unit 4-课文B 2b

Everyone is good at something,but some people are truly talented. It's always interesting to watch other people show their talents. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent. Now, there are similar shows around the world, such as China's Got Talent.

All these shows have one thing in common: They try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the funniest actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? That's up to you to decide. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.

However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you don't take these shows too seriously, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.

原文翻译：

      每个人都擅长一些事情，但是一些人确实有才能。看别人表演他们的才艺总是有趣的。才艺节目正变得越来越受欢迎。起初，有像《美国偶像》和《美国达人秀》的表演。现在，全世界都有类似的表演，例如《中国达人秀》。

      所有这些节目都有一个共同点：它们尽力寻找最好的歌手、最有才能的舞者、最令人兴奋的魔术师、最滑稽的演员等等。各种各样的人参加这些表演。但是谁钢琴弹得最好或唱得最优美？那由你决定。当人们观看这些表演时，他们通常在决定获胜者方面发挥作用。并且获胜者总是得到很好的奖励。

      然而，并不是每个人都喜欢看这些节目。一些人认为表演者的生活是编造的。例如，一些人说他们是贫穷的农民，但实际上他们只是演员。但是如果你不把这些节目太当回事，它们还是有看头的。并且关于它们一个极好的方面是它们给人们提供了一个使他们的梦想实现的途径。
