When famous people such as actors, athletes and rock stars give their opinions, many people listen. Do you think we should pay attention to these opinions? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
As far as I have known, I think we needn't pay attention to the words of the famous people. Those famous people may have their own opinions, but let us get down to the fundaments and agree that they are not people different from us.
* pay attention to = 유의하다, 주목하다 / get down to = ~를 시작하다, ~에 진지하게 관심을 기울이다 / fundament = 기초, 원리, 토대
They made themselves notable people not because they have enough wits to win a game or do well in act. They just have their good health or good feature and this is why they succeed. I once met a famous actress. She has lots of fans in China, but when she talked about Lu Gou Bridge, she didn't know why it is well-known among Chinese people, even questioned why such a bridge should always be talked by Chinese people. Let alone her opinion about life.
* notable = 주목할 만한, 눈에 띄는, 유명한 / wit = 기지, 재치 / actress = 여배우 / well-known = 유명한, 잘 알려진 / bridge = 다리 / let alone = ~은 고사하고, 커녕
Furthermore, if they do have their own feelings about life, the famous people's opinions are not useful to us. We have our own experience in our life, and we can learn them from our own experience. You may ask why cannot we learn from them then we can avoid the problems in our life. That maybe true, but we can learn these from books, and always books are good teachers of us, why should we bother to pay attention to those people's words.
* furthermore = 게다가 / useful = 유용한 / avoid = 피하다 / bother = 신경쓰다
More over, the famous people always give their opinions when asked by fans or reporters. In such a hurry they cannot even think enough about the question, and they split their words without knowing what they are speaking. In such a case, should we pay attention to their words? Almost the most devoted fan will not agree to say 'yes, sir, we should, whatever they may speak.'
* split = 분열되다, 의견이 갈리다 / In such a case = 그런 경우 / devoted = 헌신적인
So, spare your time to do other thing more important than listen to those nonsenses. So I think we should not pay attention to these opinions.
* spare = 할애하다, 내어주다; 여분의, 남는 / nonsense = 터무니없는 소리, 허튼 소리
