It doesn't matter if a college student lives in the United States, Chile, China, Slovakia, Mexico or Lebanon -- many are addicted to media, researchers say.
研究人員稱，對(duì)于現(xiàn)在的大學(xué)生來說，不管他生活在美國，智利，中國，斯洛伐克，墨西哥還是黎巴嫩，他們中很多人都離不開電子產(chǎn)品。
Susan D. Moeller of the University of Maryland and the director of International Center for Media & the Public Agenda says whether in developing countries or developed countries the findings are strikingly similar in how teens and young adults use media and how "addicted" they are to their cellphone, laptop or mp3 player.
馬里蘭州大學(xué)的蘇珊?D?莫勒是國際媒體及公共課題研究中心的主任，她表示無論是發(fā)展中國家的年輕人還是發(fā)達(dá)國家年輕人，在如何使用如手機(jī)，筆記本電腦，MP3以及對(duì)這些電子產(chǎn)品的依賴程度上都驚人的相似。
The researchers and colleagues at the Salzburg Academy on Media & Global Change asked about 1,000 students in 10 countries on five continents to give up all media for 24 hours and record their experiences.
奧地利薩爾茨堡科學(xué)院媒體與全球變化研究中心的工作人員邀請(qǐng)來自全球五大洲十個(gè)國家的一千名學(xué)生參加了一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)，來檢測(cè)他們?cè)?4小時(shí)內(nèi)不使用任何電子產(chǎn)品將如何反應(yīng)。
The study found the students reacted almost identically to being unplugged from media and used virtually the same words to describe their reactions, including: fretful, confused, anxious, irritable, insecure, nervous, lonely, depressed, jittery and paranoid.
實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明這些學(xué)生在無法接觸到各種電子產(chǎn)品時(shí)的反應(yīng)大致相同，他們都用同樣的詞語表達(dá)自己的感受，如煩躁，困惑，不安，易怒，惶恐，緊張，孤獨(dú)，壓抑，神經(jīng)質(zhì)和妄想狂。
"Perhaps naively, we assumed that we would find substantial differences among the students who took part in this study," Moeller says in a statement."After all, our partner universities come from very different regions and from countries with great disparities in economic development, culture and political governance."
在一項(xiàng)聲明中莫勒說："可能是我們有點(diǎn)兒天真了，覺得能從參加實(shí)驗(yàn)的學(xué)生身上發(fā)現(xiàn)什么重大的不同，畢竟配合我們實(shí)驗(yàn)的大學(xué)生來自不同國家不同地區(qū)，經(jīng)濟(jì)，文化，政治都存在很大的差異。"
In short, the students were blind-sided by how much media have come to dominate their lives and their identity, Moeller says.
莫勒最后說道："簡(jiǎn)而言之，學(xué)生的反應(yīng)是由電子產(chǎn)品在他們的生活中占多大的比重，以及他們的個(gè)性特點(diǎn)決定的。"
