英语翻译
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked:“So,how have you been?” and the boy---who could not have been more than seven or eight years old--- replied.“Frankly,I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children had increased steadily in recent years.Children don’t seem childlike any more.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as it once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states,but also on patterns of access to social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in stages:traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years,however,a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information,and indiscriminately (不加区分地),to all viewers alike,be they children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation,many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging,more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print,as a matter of fact,allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access.Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced.Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
不好意思，是短文中的长文啦，

大约六年前我吃着午餐在一家餐馆在纽约当妇女和一个年轻男孩坐下了在下张桌.我不能帮助他们的交谈的偷听零件.妇女要求:“如此,您怎么是?” 并且男孩不能超过的七或八岁--- 回复.“坦率地,我感觉最近一点被压下.”
这次事件依我所见黏附了因为它证实了孩子改变的我增长的信仰.就我能记住,我的朋友和我不能找到我们是 “压下” 直到我们是在高中.
一个变化的证据在孩子上近年来平稳地增加了.孩子笠头’t 再似乎纯稚.孩子比他们使用了讲话更象成人,穿戴更多象成人和表现更象成人.
是否这是好的或坏难说,但它一定是不同的.童年作为它曾经是不再存在.为什么?
人的发展根据不仅固有生物状态,而且通入的样式对社会知识的.运动从一个社会角色到另一个通常介入学会新状态的秘密.孩子总被教了成人秘密,但慢慢地和在阶段:传统上,我们告诉我们保持掩藏从第五辆平地机的第六件平地机事.
在最近30 年,然而,秘密揭示(揭示) 机器被安装了在美国家的百分之98 .这叫做电视.电视通过信息,和不加区别地(不加区分地),对所有观察者,是他们孩子或成人.无法抵抗诱惑,许多孩子转动他们的注意从打印的文本对较不富挑战性,更加生动的移动的图片.
通信通过印刷品,实际上,考虑到对孩子得以进入的社会信息的很多控制.读书和文字介入必须被记住和被实践标志的一个复杂代码.孩子必须读简单的书在他们能读复杂材料之前.
