第一段

①With so much focus on children’s use of screens, it's easy for parents to forget about their own screen use.②“Tech is designed to really suck you in,” says Jenny Radesky in her study of digital play, "and digital products are there to promote maximal engagement. It makes it hard to disengage, and leads to a lot of bleed-over into the family routine.”

3. engagement  n. 参与度

随着儿童使用数字产品备受关注，父母很容易忽视他们自己对数字产品的使用。“科技旨在真正让你卷入其中，”詹妮·拉德斯基在她的数字消遣研究中说道，“而且数字产品是为了促进最大参与度。这种沉迷使人很难脱身，而且大量渗透到家庭日常生活中。”

第二段

①Radesky has studied the use of mobile phones and tablets at mealtimes by giving mother-child pairs a food-testing exercise.②She found that mothers who sued devices during the exercise started 20 per cent fewer verbal and 39 per cent fewer nonverbal interactions with their children.③During a separate observation, she saw that phones became a source of tension in the family.④Parents would be looking at their emails while the children would be making excited bids for their attention.

4. interaction  n. 交流；相互作用

本段翻译

通过让多对母子参与食物测试任务，拉德斯基研究了进餐时段手机和平板电脑的使用情况。她发现，在任务期间使用数字设备的母亲与孩子进行语言交流的频率降低了20%，进行非语言交流的频率降低了39%。在另外一次观察中，她发现手机成了家庭紧张关系的根源。当孩子们紧张不安地企图获得父母的注意时，父母们却在查看电子邮件。

第三段

①Infants are wired to look at parents’ faces to try to understand their world, and if those faces are blank and unresponsive-as they often are when absorbed in a device-it can be extremely disconcerting for the children.②Radesky cites the “still face experiment” devised by developmental psychologist Ed Tronick in the 1970s.③In it,a mother is asked to interact with her child in a normal way before putting on a blank expression and not giving them any visual social feedback; The child becomes increasingly distressed as she tries to capture her mother’s attention.④“Parents don't have to be exquisitely parents at all times, but there needs to be a balance and parents need to be responsive and sensitive to a child’s verbal or nonverbal expressions of an emotional need,” says Radesky.

单词&词组

1. be wired to do  天生，自然就会

2. blank  a. 没表情的，不感兴趣的

8. capture one's attention  吸引某人的注意力

9. exquisitely  ad. 精致地，近乎完美地

10. sensitive  a. 体恤的，善解人意的

本段翻译

婴幼儿生来就靠观察父母的面孔来理解世界，如果这些面孔毫无表情也无任何反应——就像他们沉浸在数字设备时经常就是如此——这会让孩子感到非常不安。拉德斯基引用了20世纪70年代发展心理学家爱德华·特罗尼克设计的“面无表情实验”。在实验中，母亲被要求先以正常方式与孩子交流，之后摆出一副面无表情的神情并且不给孩子任何视觉上的社交反馈；孩子在试图吸引母亲注意力的过程中变得越来越苦恼。“父母不必一直都近乎完美地做到无时无刻不在，但必须有一个平衡而且父母需要积极回应并体恤孩子的语言或非语言的情感诉求，”拉德斯基说。

第四段

①On the other hand,Tronick himself is concerned that the worries about kids' use of screens are born out of an “oppressive ideology that demands that parents should always be interacting”with their children:“It’s based on a somewhat fantasised,very white,very upper-middle-class ideology that says if you’re failing to expose your child to 30,000 words you are neglecting them.”②Tronick believes that just because a child isn’t learning from the screen doesn’t mean there’s no value to it-particularly if it gives parents time to have a shower, do housework or simply have a break from their child.③Parents,he says,can get a lot out of using their devices to speak to a friend or get some work out of the way.④This can make them feel happier, which lets then be more available to their child the rest of the time.

单词&词组

1. be born out of  因……而产生

2. oppressive  a. 压制的，令人焦虑的

3. fantasized  a. 想象的，幻想的

4. expose sb. to sth.  使某人接触/体验某事物

5. available  a. 有空的，有暇的

本段翻译

另一方面，特罗尼克自己担心对于孩子们使用数字产品的各种担忧是出于一种“要求父母一直与孩子保持交流的压制性的意识形态”：“它基于一种有点儿幻想成分，非常符合白人和中上阶层价值观念的意识形态，认为如果你与孩子的语言交流未达到3万词汇，你就是在忽视他们”。特罗尼克认为，仅仅因为孩子没有从数字产品上学到东西并不意味着它没有任何价值——特别是如果它能让父母有时间去洗澡，做家务或只是暂时离开孩子休息一下。他说道，父母们可以从使用数字设备与朋友交谈或者处理完一些工作中获益良多。这能使他们感到更加幸福，让他们在其余时间里更有闲暇陪伴孩子。
