可是有人说，我们的时代是很难出现真正英雄的时代，英 雄主义这一概念本身我们就很难理解——它已经成为历史。
ours：是名词性代词，作为宾语从句的主语。 where引出两个定语从句，修饰an age。 come by：找到
be beyond sb ：为某人所不能理解；对某人来说太难。
◆ Yet, some people say that we are living in a new age .In this age heroes and heroines are rare, and heroism is only something people admire but do not practice. Heroic and noble conduct is a thing of the past.
仅是你一个人提出的这些人，民意调查发现， 今天人们不再选择创造过历史的政治领袖 为他们“最钦佩的人物”。
And many other people would list the same kind of people as their Most "Admired" .
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most often for the benefit of others —
◆ they are people against whom we measure others.
◆ 他们是我们评价别人的标准。 they've become a sort of standard; we judge others by what they do and what they are.
◆ One hundred years ago, people became famous for what they had achieved. Men like J.P. Morgan, E. H. Harriman and Jay Gould were all notable achievers. So were Thomas Edison, Mark Twain, and Susan B. Anthony.
◆ and people who are simply famous for being famous.
◆ 仅仅因为有名而成名的那些人。
◆ who are well-known just because they are frequently seen in public, so that a lot of people know them or know about them (not because they possess unusually fine qualities or because they have made great contributions to society).
◆ They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them.
◆ Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very ideal of heroism is something beyond us — an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace our age is essentially an unheroic one.
Abraham Lincoln
Onassis Helen Keller
Martin Luther King Jr.
Jacqueline Kennedy
Rosa Parks
◆ If next you were asked to list people who are
generally admired by society, who somehow seem
◆ 部分原因是他们的生平带有传奇故事的特点。 in part：partly, not completely 部分地。
Part of the reason is that their lives are unusual, full of ups and downs like people in legends or myths.
就定义而言，英雄之所以与众不同是因为他们有 非凡的勇气、取得卓越的成就、常常为他人的利 益而作出牺牲。 by definition：按定义 be distinguished by：由于……而有别（于……） heroes and heroines are people who are different from other people because of their unusual courage, achievements and the sacrifices they make in the interests of others.
◆ who somehow appear distinguished from ordinary
people.
And you would not be alone, because pollsters have found that people today do not choose political leaders who shape history for their "Most Admired" list, but rather movie and television celebrities, fashion models, professional athletes, and even comic book and cartoon characters. In short media icons.
bigger than life, you might come up with an entirely
different list. You might, in fact, name people who are
celebrated for their wealth and glamour rather than their achievements and moral strength of character.如 果有人请你列举在社会上受到普遍赞赏、貌似非 凡的人，你所列举的恐怕是完全不同的人。

◆ If you were asked to list ten American heroes and heroines, you would probably name some or all of the following: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Daniel Boone, Martin Luther King Jr., Amelia Earhart, Susan B. Anthony, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Helen Keller, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Rosa Parks.
◆ Cultural icons are harder to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to transcend celebrity(超 越名流）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer.
◆ 他们超越了名流，成为传奇式人物，甚至在某种 程度是神话式的人物。
Cultural icons make themselves more famous than celebrities; they inspire great admiration; and to a certain degree, they become important people.
◆ In part, their lives have the quality of a story. （传奇色彩） For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, bore a king, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help.
◆ Consequently, bereft of cultural heroes, we have latched onto cultural icons — media superstars such as actors, actresses, sports celebrities, television personalities,
◆ 因此，缺少了本民族（即本民族的文化）英雄， 我们就迷上了通俗文化偶像。 consequently是副词，其连接词的作用，将本句与 上句连接起来。 bereft：（正式）失去，缺少。 As a result, when we no longer have national heroes to admire and worship, we have become crazy about cultural icons…
◆ Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
◆ 另外，在媒体的炒作下某种难以描述的、 特殊的个人魅力也起作用。
A particular great charm that is hard to define also proves useful. The media help to impress people with it.
Being Somebody
◆ 漂亮的长相当然有用。
Attractive appearance is surely very useful in the making of an icon.
◆ So does a special indefinable charisma, with the help of the media. But nothing becomes an icon more than a tragic and early death（does） — such as Martin Luther King Jr. , John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.
