SHARON: There's something I'd like to talk about with you.
KELLY: Yes?
SHARON: You know my two boys always love to visit your son Nick.
KELLY: Yes, they're great kids. I enjoy having them here.
SHARON: They enjoy visiting. But it must be annoying for you.
They say all they do is play video games.
KELLY: Annoying? No, it's no trouble at all.
When Nick is playing video games, he can't get in trouble. That's what I think.
SHARON: My sons have video games at home too.
But they can only play them for thirty minutes a day. That's my rule.
I think it isn't good to let them play for hours.
KELLY: But I think it's better if they play games than if they watch TV.
SHARON: Whenever I tell my boys to stop playing, they always complain.
They always say, "Nick's mother lets him play. Why don't you let us?"
KELLY: Boys are like that. They always complain like that.
SHARON: But it made me wonder.
Is it really true you let Nick play video games for hours if he wants?
KELLY: Well... I'm concerned about his homework too.
But if he does his homework, then I don't mind. I let him play if he wants.
SHARON: I will be honest with you. I don't think that's good.
KELLY: Why not?
SHARON: I don't think it's good for his mental development.
Children need to do more creative things.
Just playing the same games over and over on a computer--it's not good.
KELLY: But computers are important in the world.
They learn better computer skills by playing video games.
SHARON: I don't think they learn much. And I think the games separate them from reality.
They become too attached to the computer screen. It isn't healthy.
KELLY: What can I do about it?
SHARON: I suggest you make a rule.
No more than thirty minutes or an hour of video games per day.
And then, I think it's good to buy some drawing or painting materials.
You should get them to start creating things. It develops the mind.
Or you can buy them model planes and ships to build.
That is better for children than video games.
KELLY: Well. You know I always respect your opinion, Sharon.
I will try to follow your advice.
雪倫：我想和你說件事。
凱莉：請(qǐng)說。
雪倫：我的兩個(gè)男孩總是愛找你兒子尼克。
凱莉：是啊，他們是好孩子，我喜歡他們來。
雪倫：他們是喜歡去妳家，但是一定造成你的困擾吧。
他們說他們都在打電玩。
凱莉：困擾?不會(huì)，一點(diǎn)都不打擾。
尼克玩電動(dòng)游戲時(shí)，他就不會(huì)惹上麻煩，我是這么認(rèn)為。
雪倫：我兒子在家里也有電動(dòng)游戲。
但是他們一天只能玩半小時(shí)，那是我的規(guī)定。
我認(rèn)為讓他們玩上好幾個(gè)小時(shí)不好。
凱莉：但是我認(rèn)為他們打電玩比看電視好。
雪倫：每當(dāng)我要他們不要玩了，他們總是抱怨。
他們總是說："尼克的媽媽都讓他玩，為何你不讓我們玩?"
凱莉：男孩都是那樣，他們總是那樣抱怨。
雪倫：但是這讓我好奇。
只要尼克想玩電玩，你就真的讓他玩上好幾小時(shí)嗎?
凱莉：唔......我也關(guān)心他的功課。
但如果他做完功課，那么我就無所謂，我會(huì)讓他玩。
雪倫：老實(shí)對(duì)你說，我認(rèn)為那樣不好。
凱莉：為什么呢?
雪倫：我以為這對(duì)他的心智發(fā)展不好。
小孩子要做一些更具有創(chuàng)造力的事。
只是一直玩同樣的計(jì)算機(jī)游戲并不好。
凱莉：但是計(jì)算機(jī)在全世界都很重要。
他們打電玩會(huì)學(xué)到更多的計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)。
雪倫：我不認(rèn)為他們學(xué)到很多，而且我覺得游戲使他們遠(yuǎn)離現(xiàn)實(shí)。
他們變得太黏在計(jì)算機(jī)屏幕前，這很不健康。
凱莉：我能怎么做呢?
雪倫：我建議你定個(gè)規(guī)則。
一天打電玩不超過半小時(shí)或一小時(shí)。
然后我想可以買些素描或繪畫用品。
你應(yīng)該讓他們開始做有創(chuàng)造力的事，可以發(fā)展心智。
或是你可以買飛機(jī)和船的模型讓他們組合。
那樣會(huì)比打電玩好。
凱莉：雪倫，你知道我一直很尊重你的意見。
我會(huì)試試看你的建議。
