Pat老師的吐槽型思路：明星們?cè)诔擅耙彩菬o(wú)名小輩（bit-part players），一不小心還會(huì)遭遇“潛規(guī)則”（the casting couch）。即使是在成名之后，一旦不幸“過(guò)氣”（past their prime），他們心中那種悲涼（misery）應(yīng)該也是別人無(wú)法體會(huì)的吧。

I agree with the view that stars in the entertainment business are usually overpaid. This is true whether we are considering stars of film, sport or popular music, and it often seems that the amount of money they are able to earn in a short time cannot possibly be justified by the amount of work they do. However, it is also true that it is only those who reach the very top of their profession who can get these huge salaries. So the size of salary that stars expect is closely linked to the competition they have to overcome in order to reach success. They are, in effect, rare talents. Furthermore, the majority of stars do not hold their top positions long. Sport stars and pop stars, for example, are soon replaced by the next younger, more energetic generation, while the good looks of most film stars quickly fade. So this relatively short working life may be some justification for the very high pay.
對(duì)于娛樂(lè)圈明星的收入過(guò)高了的觀點(diǎn)我表示認(rèn)同。那些電影、體育、流行音樂(lè)明星在短時(shí)間內(nèi)所掙到的錢(qián)與他們本身付出的工作并不相符。 然而，事實(shí)上只有那些真正能夠達(dá)到他們職業(yè)頂峰的明星才能得到那樣高的薪水。所以那樣巨額的收入也是和明星們?yōu)榱顺晒λ媾R的激烈競(jìng)爭(zhēng)相匹配的。他們實(shí)際上是屬于相當(dāng)稀有的人才。 此外，大部分的明星并不能在他們事業(yè)的頂端呆上多久。像許多體育明星和流行音樂(lè)明星，不久就會(huì)讓位給更年輕更富有活力的新一代，同時(shí)例如電影明星們的美貌也往往會(huì)隨著時(shí)間而逝去。所以相比其他職業(yè)，明星們的職業(yè)生涯較短，這樣看來(lái)他們?cè)诙唐趦?nèi)拿到高額薪水看起來(lái)也就比較合理了。
