智能手机的普及导致很多人机不离手，不管是在坐公交，过马路，还是在卫生间里，都在低头刷手机。最近美国一位老师给她的小学生们布置了一份作业，让他们谈谈希望从未被发明过的一件东西，其中四名孩子希望手机从未被发明过。这个答案让很多家长心酸。 Mobile phones are bad for us. We know because every day there is a news story telling us so, or at least it can feel like that. 手机对我们有坏处。我们很清楚这一点，因为每天都有资讯报道在讲，或者至少感觉是这样。 But no-one ever actually puts their phone down after hearing these reports, right? 但从没有哪个人在听到这些报道后真能把手机放下，是吧？ What if children told you exactly how your WhatsApping, Instagramming, emailing and news-reading makes them feel? 如果孩子们清楚地告诉你，你在手机上使用WhatsApp和Ins、收发电邮、以及看资讯时他们的感受如何呢？ "I hate my mum's phone and I wish she never had one," is what one primary school child wrote in a class assignment. 一位小学生在课堂作业中写道：“我讨厌我妈妈的手机，我希望她从没有过手机。” American school teacher Jen Adams Beason posted the comment on Facebook, and revealed that four out of 21 of her students said they wished mobile phones had never been invented. |
