2022考研英语阅读Facebook对你没好处

Facebook is bad for you

Facebook对你没好处

Get a life!

回到现实中过日子吧!

Using the social network seems to make peoplemore

miserable

使用Facebook这种社交网站看起来让人们更加苦痛

THOSE who have resisted the urge to join Facebook will

surely feel vindicated when theyread the latest research. A study

just published by the Public Library of Science, conducted

byEthan Kross of the University of Michigan and Philippe

Verduyn of Leuven University inBelgium, has shown that the

more someone uses Facebook, the less satisfied he is with life.

那些坚决不加入Facebook的人们读到最新的讨论的时

候确定会觉得他们的选择是对的。刚刚发表在《公共科学图

书馆》上的一份讨论显示，一个人使用Facebook越频繁，他

对生活就越不满足，这份讨论是由美国密歇根高校的Ethan

Kross和比利时鲁汶高校的Philippe Verduyn领导进行的。

Past investigations have found that using Facebook is

associated with jealousy, socialtension, isolation and depression.

But these studies have all been cross-sectionalinother words,

snapshots in time. As such, they risk confusing correlation with

causation:perhaps those who spend more time on social media

are more prone to negative emotionsin the first place. The study

conducted by Dr Kross and Dr Verduyn is the first to

followFacebook users for an extended period, to track how their

emotions change.

过去的调查讨论发觉使用Facebook会滋生嫉妒，社交紧

急，孤立和压抑等心情。但是这些讨论都是断面的，换句话

说就是都是简要说明。这样的话，他们可能把缘由与相关因

素给混淆了。或许花费大量时间在社交媒体上面的人们原来

就是比较悲观的人。而Kross博士和Verduyn博士指导的讨

论是第一个在一段时间内追踪一群Facebook使用者心情变

化的试验。

The researchers recruited 82 Facebookers for their study.

These volunteers, in their lateteens or early 20s, agreed to have

their Facebook activity observed for two weeks and toreport,

five times a day, on their state of mind and their direct social

contacts . These reports were prompted by text messages,sent

between 10am and midnight, asking them to complete a short

questionnaire.

讨论人员征集了82名Facebook用户参预他们的讨论。

这些参预者年龄在二十岁左右。他们同意讨论人员观看他们

的Facebook活动两周，并且每天报告五次他们的心理状况和

直接社交联系状况。这些报告通过短信提示，短信发出时间

为上午十点到晚上十二点之间，会要求参预者完成一份简短

的问卷。

When the researchers analysed the results, they found that

the more a volunteer usedFacebook in the period between two

questionnaires, the worse he reported feeling the nexttime he

filled in a questionnaire. Volunteers were also asked to rate their

satisfaction withlife at the start and the end of the study. Those

who used Facebook a lot were more likely toreport a decline in

satisfaction than those who visited the site infrequently. In

contrast,there was a positive association between the amount of

direct social contact a volunteerhad and how positive he felt. In

other words, the more volunteers socialised in the real world,the

more positive they reported feeling the next time they filled in

the questionnaire.

emotions change.

讨论人员分析结果的时候发觉在两份问卷间隔期使用

Facebook越频繁的参预者，填写其次次问卷的时候心情就越

糟糕。在讨论开头和结束时，参预者也被要求评价他们生活

的满足度。较多使用Facebook的人比较少使用的人满足度下

降明显。相反地，直接社交联系则会产生主动的影响。换句

话说，参预者越多的参预真实的社交活动，他们下次填问卷

的时候心情就更主动。

A volunteers sex had no influence on these findings; nor

did the size of his socialnetwork, his stated motivation for using

Facebook, his level of loneliness or depression orhis self-esteem.

Dr Kross and Dr Verduyn therefore conclude that, rather than

enhancingwell-being, Facebook undermines it.

参预者的性别对讨论结果没有影响，参预者社交圈的大

小，其使用Facebook的动机，其孤独，抑郁或者自负的程度

对结果都没有影响。Kross博士和Verduyn博士于是得出结

论，Facebook降低了人们的幸福程度。

Their study does not tease out why socialising on Facebook

has a different effect fromsocialising in person. But an earlier

investigation, conducted by social scientists at

HumboldtUniversity and Darmstadts Technical University, both

in Germany, may have found the rootcause. These researchers,

who presented their findings at a conference in Leipzig

inFebruary, surveyed 584 users of Facebook aged mostly in their

20s. They found that the mostcommon emotion aroused by

using Facebook is envy. Endlessly comparing themselves

withpeers who have doctored their photographs, amplified their

achievements and plagiarisedtheir bons mots can leave

Facebooks users more than a little green-eyed.

Real-lifeencounters, by contrast, are more WYSIWYG .
