又到一年开学季，装在英国小学生背包里的不再是文具盒，而是新的平板电脑。他们喜欢上学路上听音乐，用社交媒体和朋友联系，但唯一不变的是开学时的激动心情。 Pupils returning to school are now more likely to get a new tablet device than pencil case, a study has found. 调查发现，如今的小学生返校时更可能携带新的平板电脑而非文具盒。 Researchers found that 55 percent of children are given a new iPad or similar device as they head back to school, compared to only 46 percent who get a new pencil case. 研究人员发现，55%的学生在返校的时候会得到新的平板电脑或类似设备，而只有46%的学生会得到新的文具盒。 It also emerged fewer kids walk to school now, dropping from 81 percent in their parents' schooldays to just 63 percent now, with a third of kids preferring to use a scooter to make it to the school gates. 现在孩子们也很少步行去上学了，在他们父母的那个年代81%的人步行上学，而现在只有63%，三分之一的孩子更喜欢骑滑板车去上学。 And almost one in three children now listen to music on the way to school instead of chatting with friends as their parents used to. 将近三分之一的学生现在喜欢在上学的路上听音乐，而不是像他们父母小时候那样和朋友聊着天去学校。 |
