事业成功的名人往往希望自己的孩子也能功成名就,出人头地。但结果常常并非如此。美国作家马尔克姆·福布斯的《盛名之累》一书介绍了世界各国上百位名人后裔的境遇。他们凭借父辈的名望取得某种优势,有的经过自己努力的确取得了成功,但更多的恰恰反受盛名之累,甚至于走上歧路。这些故事使我们看到人生不会有统一格式,也让我们再一次体会到任何成功的来之不易。 Successful celebrities often want their children to become famous, succeed. But the result is often not the case. The book “The Tale of Talents,” by American writer Mark McCully Forbes, introduces the situation of hundreds of celebrity descendants in every country in the world. They gained some advantage by virtue of their fathers’ fame, and some did succeed through their own efforts, but they were more tired and even go astray. These stories enable us to see that life will not have a uniform format, let us once again understand any success is not easy.
