How Short Videos Change Young People’s Reading Habits
一、英文改编正文
Most teenagers across the globe spend plenty of spare time
scrolling through various short video platforms
and social media every day,
and they gradually develop a strong preference
for fast and entertaining visual content
instead of traditional long literary articles and serious written works.
These extremely short online videos bring continuous instant excitement
and quick emotional feedback to young users,
which slowly reduces their patience
and largely shortens their overall attention span in daily study and life.
Professional education experts and overseas psychologists believe
that long-term exposure to massive fragmented online information
prevents teenagers from focusing on deep thinking
and systematic reading training.
In order to change this worrying situation,
a large number of foreign schools and local public libraries
regularly organize offline silent reading activities
and long-text reading training for young students every semester.
Experienced teachers and family education advisers suggest
that parents should reasonably control
children’s daily electronic device time
and arrange fixed and stable reading plans in daily family life.
Persistent long-form reading practice
can effectively improve teenagers’ logical thinking ability,
deepen their language understanding level,
and build a solid learning foundation
for their future academic development and personal growth.
二、完整译文
全球大多数青少年每天都会花费大量闲暇时间刷各类短视频平台和社交软件，
他们逐渐偏爱节奏快、娱乐性强的视觉内容，
不再喜欢传统的长篇文学文章和严肃文字读物。
这些极短的网络视频为年轻用户带来源源不断的即时快感和快速情绪反馈，
慢慢消磨他们的耐心，大幅缩短其日常学习和生活中的整体注意力时长。
专业教育学者和海外心理学家认为，长期接触大量碎片化网络信息，
会阻碍青少年进行深度思考和系统性的阅读训练。
为了改变这一令人担忧的现状，国外大量学校和地方公共图书馆，
每学期都会定期为青年学生举办线下静默阅读活动和长篇文本阅读训练。
资深教师与家庭教育顾问建议，
家长应当合理管控孩子每日的电子设备使用时间，
在家庭日常生活中制定固定、规律的阅读计划。
坚持长期的长篇阅读训练，能够有效提升青少年的逻辑思维能力，
加深语言理解水平，为他们未来的学业发展和个人成长筑牢学习根基。
