★中翻英練習（上）
孩子花在螢幕上的時間越多，他們的行為與情緒越有可能不符合其發展階段的期望。特別是花很多時間玩遊戲的孩子風險更高。6 到 10 歲的孩子比 5 歲以下的孩子更可能發展出社會情緒問題。
The more time kids spent looking at a screen, the more likely their actions and feelings didn’t meet expectations for their stage of development. Kids who spent a lot of time on games were particularly at risk. And 6-to-10-year-olds were more likely to develop socioemotional problems than children aged 5 or younger.

★中翻英練習（下）
此外，遇到這些挑戰的孩子往往會更依賴螢幕來應對，這可能會使問題更加嚴重。這種情況在男孩身上尤其常見。許多情緒上已經有困難的孩子，會透過螢幕，特別是電玩，來逃避或應對情緒困擾。
What’s more, kids who experienced these challenges tended to turn to screens even more to cope, which could exacerbate the problem. This was especially the case for boys. In many cases, children who are already struggling emotionally turn to screens, especially video games, as a way to cope or escape.
