英语翻译
  When a group of children politely stop a conversation with you,saying:“We have to go to work now,” you’re left feeling surprised and certainly uneasy.After all,this is the 1990s and the idea of children working is just unthinkable.That is,until you are told that they are all pupils of stage schools,and that the “work” they go off to is to go on the stage in a theatre.
  Stage schools often act as agencies(代理机构) to supply children for stage and television work.More worthy of the name “stage school” are those few places where children attend full time,with a training for the theatre and a general education.
  A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy themselves.After all,what lively children wouldn’t settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work,and acting,singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?
  Then of course there are times for the children to make a name and make a little money in some big shows.Some stage schools give their children too much professional work at such a young age.But the law is very tight on the amount they can do.Those under 13 are limited to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.
  The schools themselves admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained.So what happens to those who don’t make it?While all the leading schools say they place great importance on children getting good study results,the facts seem to suggest this is not always the case.
英语翻译  When a group of children politely stop a conversation
当一群孩子礼貌地打断与你的谈话,说“我们现在要开始工作了”,你会感到惊讶以及不可理解.毕竟,这些九十年代孩子们的思想已经开始变得不可琢磨了.是的,直到你被告知他们还是戏剧学校的学生,而且他们“去工作”只是参加舞台剧的表演.
戏剧学校经常充当了代理机构的角色,为孩子提供上台表演和上电视工作的机会.其实真正意义上的“戏剧学校”是那些少数几个可以让孩子们全日制学习戏剧并进行戏剧训练,提供普通文化教育的学校.
一位到这种学校参观的人会毫无疑问地让你相信,那里的孩子是真心享受学校生活.而且,你没发现这些活泼可爱的孩子们仍不满足于半天上普通文化教育课,半天进行表演、唱歌、舞蹈等舞台训练吗?
当然总会有机会让孩子们在一些大型的表演上出名并赚一些钱.一些戏剧学校在孩子青少年阶段就给他们进行专业的训练.但是法律在这方面对他们所做的有了严格的限制,那些13岁以下的一年只允许表演40天,那些超过13岁的是80天.
校方也承认那些正在进行专业训练的孩子并不一定都能成功.那对于那些不成功的孩子又将何去何从呢?当所有的学校领导都说他们会让孩子们进步并学出好成绩时,而事实并非是如此.
