Step Away From the Video Games

Step Away From the Video Games

遠(yuǎn)離電子游戲
Every afternoon hundreds of thousands of youths flood Internet cafes, switch on a game console, or otherwise sit down to involve themselves in intense fantasy worlds. I'm talking about video games; games like Counter Strike, Diablo, Smash Brothers or Halo. These games can be fun and exciting, but we need to watch out for when this pastime becomes an addiction.

每天下午，成百上千的年輕人就會(huì)涌進(jìn)網(wǎng)吧，接通游戲控制臺(tái)，或者坐下來(lái)自己一人沉溺于一個(gè)緊張的夢(mèng)幻世界。我說(shuō)的是電子游戲，像反恐精英、暗黑破壞神、任天堂明星大亂斗、光暈。這些游戲非常有趣、刺激，但我們必須提防不要沉迷于這種消遣之中。
Games are often incredibly exciting and dramatic, but they generally aren't very intellectual. We don't learn as much from them as we would simply reading a book, and spending too much time playing them can take away from our study time. We need to remember that we are students first and foremost. Nothing should ever get in the way of proper studying.

游戲通常都非常刺激、生動(dòng)，但通常并不能鍛煉智力。玩游戲并不能像讀書(shū)那樣學(xué)到很多知識(shí)，況且花太多時(shí)間玩游戲也會(huì)占據(jù)我們讀書(shū)的時(shí)間。我們必須記住，首先也是最重要的一點(diǎn)是，我們還是學(xué)生。沒(méi)有什么應(yīng)該影響我們正常的讀書(shū)。
Video games can also be a bad influence on younger children who may be watching. Many video games are violent and the object in most of them is to kill the other player(s). This does not send the right message to the children who need to be told that violence is not acceptable and need to be taught how to handle situations maturely. Even if we do decide ourselves to sit down and play a violent video game, we need to make sure that it is not influencing the younger people around
US.

電子游戲?qū)τ谀切┲皇怯^看的小孩也是一個(gè)壞影響。許多電子游戲都非常暴力，其目標(biāo)大部分都是殺死另外的玩家。對(duì)于那些必須教會(huì)他們暴力是不正當(dāng)?shù)模�必須教�?huì)他們成熟處理事情的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)，這并沒(méi)有傳達(dá)一個(gè)正確的信息。即使我們自己決定坐下來(lái)打一場(chǎng)刺激的電子游戲，也必須確保沒(méi)有影響到周圍的年輕人。
