一直看手機會讓你‘與現實世界失聯’
Psychologists have warned of the 'damaging' over-reliance on screens that millions are addicted to, according to a study. A study into the screen use of 2,000 adults was analysed by Dr Kiki Leutner from University College London who made some worrying findings, with screen time affecting behaviour within relationships, concentration levels, and losing touch with the real world.
一項研究表示，心理學家已警告了過度依賴屏幕的"破壞性"，幾百萬人都有這個癮。倫敦大學學院的琪琪·劉特納博士分析了一項調查2000名成年人對屏幕使用的研究，帶來了一些令人擔憂的發現：屏幕時間會影響人們的戀情行爲、注意力不集中、以及與現實世界失聯。On a typical weekday, an average Brit spends six hours looking at screens including smartphones, tablets, work computers and televisions, according to the research by Encore Tickets, the UK's leading independent ticket provider.
英國領先的獨立門票供應商Encore Tickets開展的一項研究表示：一個普通的工作日，英國人平均看屏幕6個小時，包括智能手機、平板、電腦和電視。And nearly a quarter of the population spends upwards of 10 hours a day with their face just a few inches from a screen, living most their waking day in the digital world rather than through live experiences such as music concerts and theatre.
近四分之一的人口每天盯着屏幕的時間達10小時以上，而且只距離屏幕幾英寸遠，醒着的大部分時間都活在數字時代，沒有其它生活經歷，比如音樂會和戲劇。
Dr Leutner, who is working with Encore Tickets to highlight the negative impact of excessive screen time, whilst reinforcing the benefits of live performances, said: "The research shows that nine out of 10 of us say screens are a necessary part of everyday life and more than a third of people say they couldn't live without screens."
劉特納博士與Encore Tickets合作，以強調看屏幕時間過長所帶來的負面影響，並強調生動表演的益處。劉特納博士說道："研究表明：十分之九的人都表示屏幕是日常生活不可或缺的一部分，三分之一以上的人說沒了屏幕他們根本就活不下去。""This shows our increasing reliance on our digital devices, but also supports the idea that people develop attachments towards devices such as their phone, which can be damaging." The research from Encore Tickets found that adults spend more than two hours a day at least looking just at their smartphone.
"這表明我們越來越依賴電子產品，但研究也支持這一看法：人們對電子產品比如手機的依賴，會帶來一些破壞性影響。"Encore Tickets的研究發現：成年人每天看手機的時間至少2小時以上。And one in 20 admit to looking at their phone for an incredible six hours a day or longer.
二十分之一的人承認，他們每天看手機的時間長達6小時或更久。Dr Leutner continued: "Research has found that people feel the need to be near their phone and can experience distress on separation - much like the attachments we develop with other humans. Attributing this kind of attachment to an object can be damaging in the long term - people who have constant contact with mobile devices may deepen their dependence on others, affecting both their behaviour and relationships."
劉特納博士繼續道："研究已發現：人們覺得他們需要手機在自己身邊，一旦沒帶手機，就會覺得難受--就像我們對其他人的依賴一樣。長期看來，對另一種物品產生依賴會帶來破壞性後果--經常用移動設備的人可能會加深對其他人的依賴，既影響自己的行爲、又影響與他人的關係。"
