Family life is being disruptedbecause parents and children are overwhelmed by the huge volumes of emails and social messaging updates they are handling each day, according to a new study. 一项新调查发现，由于父母和孩子每日忙于处理大量的电子邮件和更新社交网站信息，英国家庭生活正遭受干扰。 As a result one in three of us are now desperate to cut down our use of Twitter and Facebook as well as emails. 为此三分之一的英国人现在急于减少对Twitter、Facebook和电子邮件的使用。 Surprisingly the study, by Cambridge University, found children as well as adults preferred to communicate face to face. More than half of all families said a 'technology-free' time is important and a third of parents said technology had disrupted family life. 令人惊讶的是，剑桥大学的这一调查发现成人和孩子都更喜欢面对面交流。超过半数的家庭称，“脱离科技产品”的时间很重要，还有三分之一的父母说科技已经扰乱了家庭生活。 The findings led family groups to warn that if parents end upspending more time checking emails and social networks than with their children it could have a detrimentaleffect on the home. 在调查结果出来后，参与研究的家庭团队提出警告说，如果父母们以后花更多时间查看电子邮箱、上社交网，而不多和自己的孩子相处，就会对家庭生活产生有害影响。 |
