Answer 1

Who’s Got Talent?

Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. 每个人都有自己所擅长的，但有些人是真的很有天赋【才华】。

It’s always interesting to watch other people show their talents. 观看别人展示自己的才华是非常有趣的。

Talent shows are getting more and more popular. 才艺表演类电视节目越来越受欢迎。

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.
首先，有例如美国偶像还有美国达人这样的才艺节目。 现在在世界各地也有类似的节目，如中国达人秀。

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.
所有的这些节目都有一个共同点：他们试图寻找最好的歌手，最有才华的舞者，最令人兴奋的魔术师，最有趣的演员等。形形色色的人参加了这些节目。

But who can play the piano the best or sing the most beautifully? That’s up to you to decide. When people watch the the show, they usually play a role in deciding the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.
可是，谁钢琴弹奏的最好或者唱歌唱的最动听【美丽】，是由你来决定的。 当人们看节目的时候，他们通常都扮演着决定赢家的角色。 获胜者通常会得到非常好的奖励。

However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows.
可是，并不是所有人都喜欢看这类节目。

Some think that the lives of the performers are made up.
有些人认为那些表演者的生活【背景】都是虚假的。

For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors.
例如，有些人表示他们是穷农民，可实际上，他们是演员。

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.
不过，只要你不拿这些节目太当回事，他们看起来还是很有意思的。同时这种节目的伟大之处便是，他们给人们提供了一种使他们的梦想成真的方法。
