Are You Losing Your Life To Television? Few people realize the number of issues that television causes in our life. 你是不是把生活浪费在看电视上吗？很少有人会意识到看电视给生活带来的种种弊端。 While many people will argue that a little bit of TV never hurt anyone, the amount of a “little bit” is constantly in debate. A Neilson report found that the average American watches more than 34 hours of television each week. 很多人会反驳说看小会儿电视无伤大雅，但关于“一小会儿”是多久存在争议。尼尔森报告指出，美国人平均每周看电视的时间超过34个小时。 If that number doesn’t shock you I don’t know what will. If you’re now thinking “Those people are crazy—I’d never watch that much” then I invite you to do your own maths. Simply write down all the shows you watched this week and how long they were (including commercials if it was live) plus movies, YouTube videos, etc. and work out roughly how much time you spent in front of the screen. 如果这个数字没有让你感到震惊，我不知道还有什么能让你惊呆。如果你现在在想“这些人太疯狂了，我可不要看那么久”，那么我请你自己算算。写下这周你看过的电视剧，你看了多久（包括直播的广告时间），还可以算上看过的电影、YouTube视频等等，然后大概计算出你在电视前驻留了多久。 That number is how many hours you’re losing each week to television. This is time that could be spent with your family, friends or relaxing in other ways. Today we’ll look at some more reasons why you should stop watching television, and how it will improve your life. |
