范文：
When answering the question of how to be a good actor, those from the 30s held the principle that one needed to learn how to be a man of integrity before acting, and those from the 60s thought it was most important to learn from life, while contemporary actors believe that the decisive factors include a pretty face and being good at publicity.
From the picture, we can see clearly that the ethics of the entertainment circles have gone through a tremendous transformation since the 1930s. No doubt, the artist aims at criticizing this abnormal phenomena in the entertainment industry. It is quite surprising that currently, many actors and actresses do not earn their fame through hard work but scandals, particularly sexual ones. Acting ability is no longer the most important determinant of an actor’s success, which has been replaced by personal appearance, figure, fashion, and other factors—all of which are superficial elements.
Such a trend is definitely detrimental to long-range development of the industry and the actors’ personality. The vogue may be translated into negatively impact on the young generation which composes a large portion of groupies. In my opinion, it is the common responsibility of government and the whole society to restore ethos of the 30s and 60s into the entertainment circles.
譯文：
當(dāng)回答如何做一個好演員這個問題的時候，三十年代的演員堅持“先學(xué)做人，再學(xué)做事”的原則，六十年代的演員認(rèn)為應(yīng)該“深入生活、提高修養(yǎng)”，而現(xiàn)在的演員則認(rèn)為關(guān)鍵的因素在于“漂亮臉蛋、善于炒作”
從這幅圖中，我們可以清楚地看到娛樂界的道德規(guī)范自從上個世紀(jì)30年代以來經(jīng)歷了巨大的變化。毫無疑問，畫圖者意在批評一個發(fā)生在娛樂圈的不正常現(xiàn)象。令人驚訝的是，現(xiàn)在許多演員不是通過努力工作來贏得名聲，而是通過各種丑聞尤其是性丑聞。此外，演技不再是一個演員取得成功的重要決定因素，而是演員個人的外表、身材、時尚等，這些都是很膚淺的因素。
但是，這種趨勢必然會對娛樂業(yè)和演員的個性發(fā)展產(chǎn)生長期的不利影響。而且這種風(fēng)氣可能會影響到年輕一代，他們大多都是明星的崇拜者。我認(rèn)為，政府和社會應(yīng)該共同承擔(dān)起責(zé)任，使得30年代和60年代的風(fēng)氣重新回到演藝界。
