Kids waste too much time on short videos

孩子們浪費了太多的時間去刷短視頻

The survey shows that 70.6 percent of the parents worry that their children might lose interest in studies by becoming addicted to short video clips.

最近一項調查顯示，70.6%的家長擔心他們的孩子會因為沉迷于短視頻而對學習失去興趣。

Watching short video clips has become increasingly popular among young people, as they are easy to watch and can be interesting. However, some short video clips contain bad, vulgar, and even illegal content, although thanks to the efforts of the internet-regulatory departments, such content is not as common as it used to be.

短視頻因其簡單易懂和富有趣味，而在年輕人中越來越受歡迎。然而，一些短視頻包含了不良、低俗甚至是違法的內容，不過，在網絡監管部門的努力下，此類視頻已經不像從前那么猖獗了。

The main problem now is that although the content is mainly amusing entertainment, young people are wasting too much time watching the videos.

現在的主要問題是，雖然短視頻主要是娛樂性的，但年輕人卻浪費太多的時間去刷短視頻了。

Everybody has limited time, and the more time young people spend watching such videos, the less time they will devote to their studies. A young person’s future depends on how he or she spends the time.

每個人的時間都是有限的，年輕人刷短視頻花費的時間越多，投入到學習中的時間就越少。一個年輕人的未來取決于他(她)是如何分配時間的。

According to experts, if children watch short videos for an hour or two each day, that is enough to curb their interest in their school work, and may also damage their eyesight.

有專家表示，如果孩子每天花一到兩個小時的時間刷短視頻，就足以抑制他們對學習的興趣，還將有損他們的視力。

If a large amount of time is spent watching short videos, it inevitably means young people are not giving enough attention to their school and home lives.

如果年輕人花大把的時間去刷短視頻，這無疑意味著他們對學校和家庭的關注將減少。

There are some short videos whose content has some educational value, but on the whole it is true to say they are of little value. Nevertheless, many teenagers have plunged into the wave of short videos and have lost their bearings.

雖然有些短視頻的內容具有一定的教育價值，但總的來說，短視頻沒什么價值。然而，許多青少年已經陷入了短視頻的浪潮中，迷失了方向。
