New research from child advocacy group Common Sense Media has found that childrens use of tablets, smartphones and other portable gadgets with screens has exploded over the last two years, just as doctors warn too much screen time could be bad for kids. 儿童主张组织Common Sense Media的最新调查发现，尽管大夫警告太久盯着屏幕可能对儿童不利，儿童对平板电脑、智能手机等带屏便携设施的用法率在过去两年仍呈现爆炸式增长。 The groups biannual survey of American parents found an 89% increase in the number of zero to eight year olds who have used mobile devices - growing from 38% in 2011 to 72% in 2013. Even among kids under the age of two, some 38% have used a mobile device for media, compared to 10% two years ago. 该组织对美国爸爸妈妈进行的一年两次的调查显示，0-8岁儿童中用手机的人数比率从2011年的38%升至2013年的72%，增长89%。即使在两岁以下幼儿中，也有38%左右的儿童用过移动媒体设施，而两年前这一比率只有10%。 Moreover, the amount of time all kids spend with the devices each day has tripled, from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. 此外，所有儿童天天用手机的时间也增加了两倍，从5分钟增至15分钟。 At the same time, the American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday reiterated cautions about childrens exposure to screens, including mobile devices and TVs. The group said that parents should limit total entertainment screen time to less than one to two hours per day, and discourage screen media exposure generally to kids under the age of two. 同时，美国儿科掌握周一第三对儿童用手机和电视机等带屏设施发出警告。该掌握称，爸爸妈妈应该将天天孩子的屏幕娱乐时间限制在1-2个小时以下，并建议不要让两岁以下儿童接触带屏媒体。 （据《华尔街日报》报道，美国儿科掌握周一向爸爸妈妈们提出建议，包含不许孩子在吃饭和上床睡觉后用手机。） The introduction of tablet computers has particularly changed the equation for many families, and the survey found five-fold increase in the number who have access to them. Jim Steyer, Common Sense Medias founder, said the devices are increasingly replacing TVs, storybooks, and even babysitters. 平板电脑的出现已经改变了很多家庭的婴幼儿教育方法，调查显示，可以接触到平板电脑的儿童数目已经增长了四倍。Common Sense Media开创者吉姆施泰尔说，此类设施的出现已开始更加取代电视、故事书甚至保姆的工作。 One-year-olds are now walking up to TV screens and swiping them because they think they are tablets, he said. They are becoming a part of childhood in ways that were almost inconceivable before. 他说，有的1岁的孩子已经开始走到电视前用手滑动屏幕，以为那是平板电脑。现在，平板电脑已经以昔日很难想像的方法成?孩子们童年的一部分。 What do kids do on mobile devices? Mostly play games , use apps and watch videos , the survey found. 那样孩子们都用手机做些什么呢？据调查，主如果打游戏（63%），用应用软件（50%）和看视频（47%）。 Steyer says his organization recommends that parents set limits, though he appreciates that no screen time before age two isnt practical for all families. No question about it, the best brain development happens when you speak with kids and play blocks with them and cuddle - all the experiences where there is no intermediation by technology he said. 施泰尔称，他所在的组织建议爸爸妈妈们限制设施的用法，但他同时也承认，让所有家庭中的两岁以下幼儿离得远远的屏幕是不现实的。他说，毫无疑问，促进大脑发育的最好办法是与孩子交谈、玩积木，给他们拥抱，这类都是没办法靠科技来帮忙的。 And when there are devices involved, he said parents should also try to turn screen time into learning time. You have to make wise choices about the content, he said. 他讲道，当孩子用手机时，爸爸妈妈们也应试着让他们从屏幕上多学些常识，内容的选择必须要睿智。
