兒科醫生:爲了孩子的語言發展 請父母遠離手機!大綱
These days, cell phones play a vital role in our daily lives. More and more people from all walks of life would rather spend time on their cell phones than communicate with others.
現如今，手機在日常生活中發揮着重要作用。各行各業的人們都花費更多時間在手機上，而不是相互之間的面對面交流上。Nevertheless, the situation is more dire when it comes to parents. When parents use their cell phones instead of spending time with their children, some research shows that children are more likely to develop language delays and disorders.
然而，這種情況發生在父母身上時，將會更加可怕。當父母花時間玩手機而不是和孩子交流時，一些研究發現，這些家庭的孩子會更容易語言發展滯後，甚至出現語言紊亂現象。84-year-old Qian Youqiong is a well-known pediatrician in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Early in November 2013, Qian published an article appealing to parents to put away their cell phones and have more communication with their children. Two and half years later, the situation has only gotten worse.
84歲的錢友瓊是四川省成都市的知名兒科醫生。早在2013年11月，他就曾發表過一篇文章，呼籲孩子父母放下手機，多和孩子交流。然而兩年半過去了，這種情況卻變得更加糟糕。
Qian encounters three to four cases of children with language difficulties on a weekly basis. "I am worried the trend is going to rise with parents relying more and more on their cell phones," he says.
錢醫生每週都會遇到三、四個有語言障礙的孩子。他說："隨着父母越來越依賴手機，我想這樣的趨勢會愈演愈烈，"One boy named Bobo came to Qian unable to even say "dad" at the age of 4. After ruling out other potential causes, a lack of language stimulation became the likely reason for Bobo's delayed development. Qian found that Bobo's parents both spend a great deal of time on their cell phones every day and rarely make efforts to talk to Bobo.
一個前來找錢醫生看病的、名叫博博的四歲男孩至今連"爸爸"都不會說。在排除了其他潛在可能因素之後，錢醫生認爲缺少語言刺激是博博語言發展滯後的最可能的成因。錢醫生髮現，博博的父母都花費大量時間玩手機，幾乎很少下功夫和博博說話。In order to avoid this problem, Qian urges parents to go out of their way to spend more time talking to and communicating with their children instead of on their cell phones, so that children are able to develop language skills at the proper time and pace.
爲了避免這樣的事情再發生，錢醫生建議所有父母應刻意去多花時間和孩子說話，而不是把時間花在手機上面，這樣孩子的語言發展進程才能達到正常進度。
