智能手機(jī)的普及導(dǎo)致很多人機(jī)不離手，不管是在坐公交，過(guò)馬路，還是在衛(wèi)生間里，都在低頭刷手機(jī)。最近美國(guó)一位老師給她的小學(xué)生們布置了一份作業(yè)，讓他們談?wù)勏Ｍ麖奈幢话l(fā)明過(guò)的一件東西，其中四名孩子希望手機(jī)從未被發(fā)明過(guò)。這個(gè)答案讓很多家長(zhǎng)心酸。

Mobile phones are bad for us. We know because every day there is a news story telling us so, or at least it can feel like that.

手機(jī)對(duì)我們有壞處。我們很清楚這一點(diǎn)，因?yàn)槊刻於加行侣剤?bào)道在講，或者至少感覺(jué)是這樣。

But no-one ever actually puts their phone down after hearing these reports, right?

但從沒(méi)有哪個(gè)人在聽(tīng)到這些報(bào)道后真能把手機(jī)放下，是吧？

What if children told you exactly how your WhatsApping, Instagramming, emailing and news-reading makes them feel?

如果孩子們清楚地告訴你，你在手機(jī)上使用WhatsApp和Ins、收發(fā)電郵、以及看新聞時(shí)他們的感受如何呢？

"I hate my mum's phone and I wish she never had one," is what one primary school child wrote in a class assignment.

一位小學(xué)生在課堂作業(yè)中寫(xiě)道：“我討厭我媽媽的手機(jī)，我希望她從沒(méi)有過(guò)手機(jī)。”

American school teacher Jen Adams Beason posted the comment on Facebook, and revealed that four out of 21 of her students said they wished mobile phones had never been invented.

美國(guó)一位學(xué)校老師珍-亞當(dāng)斯-比森把這段話(huà)上傳到臉書(shū)上，說(shuō)她的21名學(xué)生中有4名希望智能手機(jī)沒(méi)有被發(fā)明出來(lái)。

Ms Beason, who lives in Louisiana, also posted a picture of the second grade (ages seven to eight) pupil's class work after she asked them to describe something they wish had never been created.

比森老師居住在路易斯安娜州，她還上傳了一張二年級(jí)小學(xué)生（7-8歲）的作業(yè)照片。她讓學(xué)生們描述自己希望從沒(méi)被發(fā)明出的東西。

"I would say that I don't like the phone," one child wrote.

一個(gè)孩子寫(xiě)道：“我想說(shuō)我不喜歡手機(jī)。”

"I don't like the phone because my parents are on their phone every day. A phone is sometimes a really bad habit."

“我不喜歡手機(jī)，因?yàn)槲业陌謰屨於荚诳词謾C(jī)。總看手機(jī)是個(gè)壞習(xí)慣。”

The student completed the work with a drawing of a mobile phone with a cross through it and a large sad face saying "I hate it".

這個(gè)孩子還在作業(yè)本下方畫(huà)了一個(gè)手機(jī)，上面打了一個(gè)叉，旁邊還畫(huà)了一張大大的悲傷的臉，寫(xiě)著“我討厭它。”

The picture was posted last Friday and has been shared almost 170,000 times since, including by shocked parents who are stopping to think twice about their technology habits.

比森上周五把照片上傳到網(wǎng)上，這個(gè)帖子已經(jīng)被分享了近17萬(wàn)次，包括那些感到驚訝的家長(zhǎng)，他們開(kāi)始仔細(xì)反省自己使用科技產(chǎn)品的習(xí)慣。

"Wow. Out of the mouths of babes! We are all guilty!" responded one user, Tracy Jenkins.

網(wǎng)友特雷西-詹金斯回應(yīng)說(shuō)：“哇。這些都是從孩子們嘴里說(shuō)出來(lái)的！我們都有愧！”

"Strong words for a second grader! Listen parents," added Sylvia Burton.

西爾維婭-伯頓補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“二年級(jí)的孩子能這么說(shuō)太給力了。家長(zhǎng)們快來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)。”

Another wrote, "That is so sad and convicting. Great reminder for us all to put those phones down and engage with our kids more."

還有人寫(xiě)道：“這讓人傷心又感到罪過(guò)，給我們大家都提了個(gè)醒，放下手機(jī)，多和孩子們交流。”

Other teachers also joined the discussion to add their own experience of children's reaction to their parents' internet use.

還有一些老師也加入了討論，補(bǔ)充了一些孩子們對(duì)父母上網(wǎng)的反應(yīng)。

"We had a class discussion about Facebook and every single one of the students said their parents spend more time on Facebook than they do talking to their child. It was very eye opening for me," commented Abbey Fauntleroy.

阿貝-方特勒羅伊寫(xiě)道：“我們?cè)谡n上討論過(guò)臉書(shū)，所有學(xué)生都說(shuō)他們的父母花在刷臉書(shū)上的時(shí)間比和他們交談的時(shí)間多，這讓我很吃驚。”

Some parents offered their personal experience of trying to address the problem.

一些家長(zhǎng)分享了試圖解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題的個(gè)人經(jīng)歷。

Beau Stermer wrote that he has seen his two-year-old son reacting negatively to his use of his mobile phone: "I've noticed if he and I are playing and my phone rings for something at work, he has nothing to do with me after I get off the phone.

博-斯特默寫(xiě)道，他曾見(jiàn)過(guò)兩歲的兒子反對(duì)他用手機(jī)的情景。他說(shuō)：“我注意到，如果我倆在玩兒，我的手機(jī)有工作來(lái)電，我接聽(tīng)完后他就不想搭理我了。”

"It kills me. I have made an agreement with myself that if I am playing with him everything else can wait."

“這真讓我難過(guò)。我和自己說(shuō)好了，如果我正和他一起玩兒，其他事都一邊兒去吧。”

However, one mum pointed out that her teenagers were just as bad, often choosing their phone over family time.

但也有位媽媽說(shuō)，她的十幾歲大的孩子也和大人一樣愛(ài)玩兒手機(jī)，刷手機(jī)的時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)多于跟家人一起的時(shí)間。
