你喜歡面對(duì)面交流還是使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流？

American teenagers are starting to prefer communicating via text instead of meeting face-to-face, according to a study published Monday by the independent organization Common Sense Media.

據(jù)美國獨(dú)立組織常識(shí)媒體(Common Sense Media)周一公布的一項(xiàng)研究顯示，比起面對(duì)面交流，美國青少年開始更熱衷于短信交流。

Some 35 percent of kids aged 13 to 17 years old said they would rather send a text than meet up with people, which received 32 percent.

在13歲至17歲的孩子中，約35%的人表示他們寧愿發(fā)短信也不愿與人見面，而32%的人表示愿意當(dāng)面交流。

The last time the media and technology-focused nonprofit conducted such a survey in 2012, meeting face-to-face hit 49 percent, far ahead of texting’s 33 percent.

據(jù)上次媒體和非盈利聚焦科技在2012發(fā)布的關(guān)于此類調(diào)查結(jié)果顯示，當(dāng)面交流的高達(dá)49%，遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)領(lǐng)先發(fā)短信人群的33%。

More than two-thirds of American teens choose remote communication -- including texting, social media, video conversation and phone conversation -- when they can, according to the study.

而此次調(diào)查結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，超過三分之二的青少年選擇遠(yuǎn)程交流(包括發(fā)短信、社交軟件、語音視頻和打電話)。

In 2012 less than half of them marked a similar preference.

在2012年，喜歡網(wǎng)絡(luò)聯(lián)系的人還不到一半。

Notably, in the six-year span between the two studies the proportion of 13- to 17-year-olds with their own smartphone increased from 41 to 89 percent.

值得注意的是，在這六年時(shí)間里，這兩次研究調(diào)查中13歲到17歲的青少年擁有智能手機(jī)的比例由41%增長(zhǎng)到89%。

As for social networks, 81 percent of respondents said online exchange is part of their lives, with 32 percent calling it "extremely" or "very" important.

至于社會(huì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)，81%應(yīng)答者說在線交流是他們生活的一部分，32%人認(rèn)為網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流“極其”重要或“很”重要。

The most-used platform for this age group is Snapchat (63 percent), followed by Instagram (61 percent) and Facebook (43 percent).

這個(gè)年齡段使用最多的平臺(tái)是Snapchat(63%)，其次是Instagram(61%)和Facebook(43%)。

Some 54 percent of the teens who use social networks said it steals attention away from those in their physical presence.

在使用社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)的青少年中，約有54%的人說社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)會(huì)分散他們的注意力。

Two-fifths of them said time spent on social media prevents them from spending more time with friends in person.

他們中有五分之二的人說，花在社交媒體上的時(shí)間使他們無法更多的與朋友面對(duì)面相處。

The study was conducted online with a sample of 1,141 young people ages 13 to 17, from March 22 to April 10.

該研究采用了網(wǎng)絡(luò)問卷形式，樣本是1141名13到17歲的青少年，時(shí)間跨度從3月22號(hào)到4月10號(hào)。
