Most American parents think they are great role models for their kids, but they admit they're glued to their smart phones, tablets and TVs for more than nine hours a day, a new survey finds.
一项最新调查发现，美国大多数父母认为他们是孩子们的好榜样，但是他们也承认自己每天花在智能手机、平板电脑和电视上的时间超过了9个小时。
The group, which focuses on the use of media, surveyed more than 1,700 parents for its report.
关注使用媒体的研究团队为了这份报告，共调查了超过1700名家长。
They found parents of kids aged eight to 18 admit to spending nine hours, 22 minutes a day with screen media. Most — seven hours, 43 minutes — is with entertainment media.
他们发现，8岁至18岁孩子的父母承认自己每天在屏幕媒体上花费的时间为9小时22分。其中大部分时间——7小时43分——花在了娱乐媒体上。
"This is just a shocking study, in my opinion," James Steyer, founder of Common Sense Media, told NBC News. "How can you be a good role model for your kids if you yourself don't find the appropriate balance in terms of media and tech use in your own life?"
常识媒体公司首席执行官詹姆斯·施泰尔向NBC新闻透露：“我认为，这是一个令人震惊的研究。如果你在你自己的生活中无法自己建立与媒体、科技间的平衡，那么你怎么当孩子的模范呢?”
Black parents admitted to spending 14 hours a day with screen media. Hispanic parents spent 12 hours a day, while white parents were closer to the average at 9 hours a day.
在这些家长中，黑人父母表示自己每天在屏幕媒体上会花费14个小时。西班牙裔父母则每天要花费12小时，而白人父母更接近平均值，每天花费9小时。
And parents need to make it clear to kids that they are going to police use of media, Steyer said.
施泰尔表示，家长需要让孩子们清楚，他们会监督媒体的使用情况。
"We're not saying they're terrible things. We're saying use them wisely, appropriately, have a healthy media diet for yourself just as you want to have a healthy media diet for your kids."
“我们不是要说媒体和科技本身是糟糕的东西，我们要说的是，要聪明、恰当地使用它们，让自己合理节制媒体的使用，就像你想要你的孩子合理节制它一样。”
