2018年英语六级考试翻译模拟试题：电视选秀节目

　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　现在，电视选秀节目是中国的一大热点，已经吸引了很多年轻人。为了一夜成名，有些年轻人甚至放弃他们的学业来参加这些节目。有人认为这些节目为年轻人提供了更多展示才能的机会，而其他人认为参加这些节目对年轻人没有好处。就我而言，我支持后者的观点。

　　不可否认，像李宇春等一些年轻人在选秀节目的无数参与者中脱颖而出，但这并不意味着参加选秀节目是年轻人成功的好途径。下述原因可以支持我的观点、首先，电视选秀节目引起了不安，并诱使年轻人不惜代价追逐成名。此外，选秀节目可以扭曲年轻人的价值观。他们认为参加选秀节目是成功的一条捷径，因而轻视通过努力工作获得成功的方式。最后，如果年轻人在这些节目中失败，他们将遭受巨大的心理失衡。

　　总之，参加电视选秀节目不是年轻人获得成功的好途径。我认为年轻人在决定参加之前应该慎重。

　　Attending TV PK Shows Does No Good to Young People

　　Nowadays, TV PK shows are great hits in China and have attracted a large number of adolescents. Some youngsters even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope of winning their fame overnight. Some people argue that these shows provide young people more chance to show talents, while others assume that attending these shows does no good to the juvenile. As for me, I prefer to the latter opinion.

　　It should be admitted that some young people like Li Yuchun has stood out from the numerous attendants in the PK show, but that doesn’t mean attending the PK shows is a good way to become successful for teenagers. The following reasons can support my view. First and foremost, TV PK shows breed restlessness and induce young people to hunt after fame at whatever cost. Furthermore, TV PK shows can subvert the youngsters’ values. They cling to the idea that attending the PK shows is a shortcut to success, so they may despise the way of achieving success by hard work. Finally, if the young fail in these shows, they will suffer a psychological unbalance.

　　In a word, entering for TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to achieve success. I hold the opinion that young people should think twice before deciding to attend PK shows.
