玩电脑游戏的弊端The Disadvantages of Playing Computer Games

Nowadays children are spending far too much time and money on computer games. As a result, some people even suggest that video games should be done away with. They are nothing but a great waste of time, money and energy. I totally agree with them.

如今孩子们花过多的金钱和时间在电脑游戏上。结果，一些人甚至建议说电子游戏应该废除。它们只不过是大量消耗时间、金钱和精力的东西。我完全同意他们的说法。

First of all, too much indulgence in the computer games may lead to the deterioration of children’s physical health. Children desert the football ground as they all sit at home around the computers playing the football game. So they can’t be physically fit and strong. Moreover, facing the computer for a long time, children easily suffer from myopia.

首先，过多沉溺于电脑游戏会导致孩子们身体健康状况的下降。孩子们全都呆在家里，坐在电脑旁边，玩足球游戏，而荒废了足球场。所以他们不会身体强健。而且，长时间对着电脑，孩子们很容易近视。

Secondly, computer games distract children’s attention from their studies. They finish their homework in a hurry, or even copy their classmate’s, in order to squeeze time to play games.

其次，电脑游戏分散孩子们的学习注意力。他们匆匆赶完作业，甚至抄袭同学的作业，为了挤出时间来玩游戏。

Therefore, video arcades should be banned from cities and town. Teenagers would be much better off without the temptation of video games. They should be encouraged to do more meaningful and valuable things like reading, studying, and going to concert and museums.

因此，游戏厅应该在城市和乡镇中禁止。没有电子游戏的诱惑，青少年会过得好得多。他们应该被鼓励做些更有意义和价值的事情，如读书、学习、去听音乐会或逛博物馆。
