Good computer skills are desirable in today's digital age, and playing computer games can help children improve those skills
优秀的电脑技术在现在的数字化时代很重要，玩电脑游戏能够帮助孩子们提高一些技能
as long as they don't overdo it, scientists warn.
只要他们不沉溺于电脑游戏，科学家们警告道。
The British study involved 600 teenagers over a period of two years
一项英国的研究对六百名青少年进行了为期两年的观察，
and found that those who played computer games less than once a week
发现那些打电脑游戏一周少于一次的学生
achieved better grades at school than ones who played them twice a day or more often.
比那些一天打两次或更多次的学生成绩要好。
The study also found that daily use of social media did not affect school performance.
研究还发现每天使用社交媒体不会影响学生在学校的表现。
"It was clear that social media didn't have any impact.
“很明显社交媒体没有任何影响。
I think that's more because social media is part and parcel of every child's life.
我认为那是因为社交媒体已经变成了每个孩子生活中不可缺少的一部分。
It's the way they communicate. It's the way they keep in touch with their friends." the researchers said.
这是一种交流的方式。这是一种和他们的朋友们保持联系的方式。”调查人员说道。
Parents increasingly complain of having difficulty getting their children away from computer games.
父母们越来越多得抱怨很难使孩子远离电脑游戏。
Some even seek help for their teenagers who they say are addicted to them.
有些人甚至寻求专业帮助，希望自己沉迷其中的孩子远离电脑游戏。
The study did not look into addiction, but suggested computer games can cause children to stay up late in the evenings,
这项英国的研究没有研究上瘾的问题，而是提出电脑游戏会导致孩子熬夜，
making them tired and less able to focus at school the next day.
这使得他们第二天上学会感到疲惫，不能集中精力。
Mark Starkey, the longtime owner of the Heart of Gaming computer game outlet in London,
马克·斯达克是伦敦游戏之心公司的股权长期持有者，
said there is also the difference between older games and the new ones.
他表示新老游戏间存在很大差异。
"The ability to make games a lot more bigger, a lot more detailed, a lot more intricate is here now.
“新游戏更大,更为精细,而且变得越来越复杂。现在的游戏更能吸引玩家们注意力。
It is going to hold their attention longer.
花在游戏上的时间都会更长，
It is going to hold it a lot longer, because there is always wanting to progress through the story line
因为玩家总想着推进游戏的情节发展，
Oh my god, I have to see what happens next, etc.
哦，天啊，我要知道接下来会发生什么，等等。
Whereas, again, the old games challenge more your hand-eye coordination, your speed, your timing, your reactions, rather than perhaps your imagination."
然而,老游戏更多则是挑战你的手眼协调能力，你的速度，而非你的想象。”
The games industry has long claimed there is no proven link between games and addiction.
游戏产业一直声称没有证据表明游戏与成瘾之间存在联系。
But the new study says additional research is needed to establish the effect of prolific computer game-playing on performance at school.
但这项新的研究表明需要进一步研究才能了解电脑游戏对学生在校表现的影响。
