My view on the "Campus Star" Contest
校园之星大赛之我见
At an age of character and individuality being encouraged and demonstrated, we see various "stars" pop up—singing stars, dancing stars, movie stars and sport stars. etc. Many schools even hold contests to choose their "Campus Stars". Although these activities make our cultural life in campus more colorful and various, a lot of problems spring up at the same time.
在一个个性和个性被鼓励和展示的时代，我们看到各种各样的"明星"涌现，歌星、舞星、电影明星和体育明星。许多学校甚至举行竞赛来选出他们的"校园明星"。虽然这些活动使我们的校园文化生活更加丰富多彩，但同时也出现了许多问题。
First of all, these activities can result in the swelling of vanity in some students, making them become arrogant, or even feel superior to other students. Moreover, these activities can greatly distract the students from their study. In order to become a star, they will, without any doubt, spend a lot of time and energy on the preparation and competition. The focus of their academic life will be shifted, and even worse, they become too enthusiastic about extracurricular activities and hate the academic knowledge ad skills they need to grasp for their future development.
首先，这些活动会导致一些学生虚荣心的膨胀，使他们变得傲慢，甚至感到比其他学生优越。此外，这些活动会大大分散学生的学习注意力。为了成为明星，他们无疑会花费大量的时间和精力在准备和比赛上。他们的学术生活重心会转移，更糟糕的是，他们对课外活动过于热情，讨厌自己未来发展所需掌握的学术知识和技能。
On the whole, I think these various " Campus Star" contests should be controlled in the campus. After all, schools are different from any other social institutions. Extracurricular activities should be encouraged, but they should be helpful to the students’ academic study and all-round development.
总的来说，我认为这些"校园明星"比赛应该控制在校园内。毕竟，学校不同于其他任何社会机构。课外活动应该受到鼓励，但应该有助于学生的学业和全面发展。
