英國調查：父母迷戀手機破壞家庭生活
Parents' mobile use harms family life, say secondary pupils
你在孩子面前也會不停地看手機嗎?你的孩子曾要求你放下手機陪伴他們嗎?在最新調查中，英國中學生認為父母沉迷看手機會破壞家庭生活。在參加調查的2000名11到18歲的青少年當中，超過三分之一的人透露，曾經要求父母放下手機。
An overuse of mobile phones by parents disrupts family life, according to a survey of secondary pupils.
一項面向中學生的調查顯示，父母過度使用手機會打擾到家庭生活。
More than a third of 2,000 11 to 18-year-olds who responded to a poll said they had asked their parents to stop checking their devices.
2000名11到18歲的學生參與了調查，其中超過三分之一的學生稱他們曾要求父母放下手機。
And 14% said their parents were online at meal times, although 95% of 3,000 parents, polled separately, denied it.
14%的學生稱他們的父母會在吃飯的時候用手機上網。而在另一項3000名父母參與的調查中，95%的父母都否認有此行為。
The research was carried out by Digital Awareness UK and the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
該調查由英國數字意識和校長聯合會共同發起。

Despite this, only a minority of parents (10%) believed their mobile use was a concern for their children - although almost half (43%) felt they spent too much of their own time online.
儘管如此，雖然有近一半的家長(43%)意識到自己花在手機上的時間太多了，但也只有一小部分家長(10%)認為這給孩子們造成了困擾。
37% said they were online between three and five hours a day at weekends.

Research last year by DAUK and HMC showed almost half of secondary pupils were checking their mobile phones after they had gone to bed, amid warnings that they were arriving at school tired and unable to concentrate.
英國數字意識和校長聯合會在去年所做的調查顯示，將近一半的中學生上床以後會玩手機，上學感到疲倦，精神渙散。
According to the new research, almost three-quarters of pupils (72%) said they were online between three and 10 hours a day - but for 11% this could rise to 15 hours at weekends and holidays and 3% said it could reach 20 hours.
最新調查顯示，大約有四分之三的學生(72%)稱每天上網3到10個小時，而11%的學生在周末和節假日要花上15個小時，3%的學生甚至要花上20個小時。
And children's greatest worry about their own online use was lack of sleep, with 47% highlighting it as a major concern.
對孩子們來說，手機上網帶來的最大的困擾就是缺乏睡眠。47%的學生強調說這是個大問題。
But among parents, only 10% worried about children's time online leading to sleep deprivation.
但是只有10%的家長擔心孩子會因為上網而缺乏睡眠。
Emma Robertson, co-founder of DAUK, said too few parents knew how long their children were online, particularly at night, "or what they are actually doing online".
英國數字意識的聯合創始人艾瑪•羅伯遜說，很少有父母知道孩子花多少時間上網，尤其是在晚上，他們也不知道「孩子具體在網上幹什麼」。
"We hope these findings will be a wake-up call for families and motivate them to have serious conversations about the safe and healthy use of technology," she said.
「我們希望調查結果能給每個家庭敲響警鐘，激勵父母去認真地討論如何安全、健康地使用科技產品。」她說。
