研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，沉迷于電視與孤獨(dú)和抑郁有關(guān)。
Those who spend hours immersed in back-to-back episodes of their favourite TV series really are likely to be sad, according to the findings。
根據(jù)這項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，長(zhǎng)時(shí)間沉溺于他們喜愛(ài)的電視劇的人確實(shí)更容易悲傷。
US scientists at the University of Texas, Austin, asked 316 young people aged 18 to 29 how often they indulged in TV marathons and how frequently they felt lonely or depressed。
美國(guó)德克薩斯大學(xué)奧斯丁分校的科學(xué)家們，調(diào)查了316名18到29歲年輕人看電視的頻率，以及感到孤獨(dú)和抑郁的頻繁程度。
They found that the more lonely or depressed the participants were, the more likely they were to binge-watch in order to escape feeling low。

The results, presented at the International Communication Association’s annual meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico, also showed that people lacking the ability to control themselves tended to binge-watch。

Study leader Yoon Hi Sung said: “Even though some people argue that binge-watching is a harmless addiction, findings from our study suggest that binge-watching should no longer be viewed this way。
研究負(fù)責(zé)人宋希允說(shuō)：“盡管一些人認(rèn)為沉迷電視是無(wú)害的嗜好，但我們的發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，沉溺于電視不應(yīng)長(zhǎng)期如此看待。”
“Physical fatigue and problems such as obesity and other health problems are related to binge-watching and they are a cause for concern. When binge-watching becomes rampant, viewers may start to neglect their work and their relationships with others。
“身體疲勞和肥胖及其他健康問(wèn)題相關(guān)的問(wèn)題，與沉溺于電視相關(guān)，這是值得關(guān)注的一個(gè)原因。當(dāng)對(duì)電視的沉迷變得無(wú)法控制時(shí)，電視迷們開(kāi)始忽視他們的工作以及和別人的關(guān)系。”
“Even though people know they should not, they have difficulty resisting the desire to watch episodes continuously。
“就算人們知道他們不該這樣，他們已很難抵抗不斷追劇的渴望了。”
“Our research is a step towards exploring binge-watching as an important media and social phenomenon。”
“把沉迷于電視作為一種重要的媒體和社會(huì)現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行探索，我們的研究邁進(jìn)了一步。”
