双语Z世代迷恋上复古折叠手机间隔闲走可抵消久坐的危害

　　1) Gen Z has a new ＂vintage＂ technology to obsess over.
　　Z世代迷恋上了一项新的复古技术 - 老式折叠手机。
　　Z世代，指的是1990年代中后期至2010年代初期之间出生的人。
　　Z世代的一些人开始意识到自己在手机上、在社交媒体上花费了太多时间，而且有时社交媒体上发布的照片、评论等给自己造成很大的困扰，因此他们转向上世纪90年代起流行的折叠手机。
　　据美国相关部门的调查，随着智能手机开始流行，青少年抑郁的比例也同步上升，2004-2019年间这个比例翻了一倍。
　　使用复古折叠手机有不少好处：不再被那些无聊的评论困扰，时间可以花在更有用的事情上，可以与朋友有更多的高质量的实际接触。
　　Actress Dove Cameron said in a November interview that she had switched to a flip phone. Spending too much time on her phone and looking at social media ＂is really bad for me,＂ she said.
　　As smartphones and social media became more ubiquitous around 2012, so did the rate of depression among teens, psychologists say. Between 2004 and 2019 the rate of teen depression nearly doubled.
　　Today, these smaller, lightweight devices -- some available for as little as $20 at big box retailers like Walmart and Amazon -- are showing up in TikTok videos of young people unboxing them...
　　We attribute this shift to many smartphone users beginning to recognize they are spending too much time glued to their devices and having a strong desire to disconnect and ＂be fully present＂ to improve their quality of social connections.
　　2) Sitting all day is terrible for your health – now, a new study finds a relatively easy way to counteract it.
　　整天坐着对你的健康有害，现在，一项新的研究找到了一种相对简单的方法来抵消这种危害。
　　现代社会，人们大部分时间坐在电脑或电视前。研究表明，久坐会增加患肥胖症、糖尿病、心脏病甚至癌症的风险。现在，研究人员找到了一种相对简单的方法来抵消其负面影响，即每半个小时起来闲走5分钟。这种微小的变化便能降低久坐带来的健康问题。即便每小时起来走走1分钟对身体健康也是有益的。
　　而且，研究发现，休息闲走不仅对身体健康有益，对精神健康同样有益。闲走之后，精神状态更好，干活更有劲。
　　To reduce the harmful health effects of sitting, take a five-minute light walk every half-hour. That’s the key finding of a new study that my colleagues and I published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.
　　But shorter and less frequent walks improved blood pressure too. Even just a one-minute light walk every hour reduced blood pressure by five points.
　　In addition to physical health benefits, there were also mental health benefits to the walking breaks.
　　We found that compared with sitting all day, a five-minute light walk every half-hour reduced feelings of fatigue, put participants in a better mood and helped them feel more energized.
　　We also found that even walks just once every hour were enough to boost mood and reduce feelings of fatigue.
　　3) Marie Osmond says her kids won＂t get an inheritance: All it does is ＂breed laziness and entitlement＂.
　　玛丽·奥斯蒙德说她不会把遗产留给（七个）孩子，因为那样会滋生惰性和占有欲。
　　玛丽·奥斯蒙德是美国七、八十年代著名乡村及流行音乐歌手、演员、兼脱口秀主持人，她认为让孩子继承遗产会导致懒惰和占有欲。因此她计划将自己的资产捐给慈善机构，并教导孩子自己去努力工作。她相信，只有通过自己的努力，靠自己取得成功，才能欣赏挣来的金钱的价值。
　　她觉得给孩子最好的礼物是教会他们用热情去发现自己的内心，带着激情去工作。
　　她给孩子定下一个规矩，只要开始干一件事情，就必须把它完成；如果不喜欢，以后可以不必再做同样的事情，但这次必须得把它做完！
　　The former country singer, 63, opened up about her plans to donate her wealth to charity instead of leaving it to her seven kids.
　　Honestly, why would you enable your child to not try to be something? I don’t know anybody who becomes anything if they’re just handed money.
　　To me, the greatest gift you can give your child is a passion to search out who they are inside and to work.
　　The singer firmly believes that leaving wealth can discourage the younger generation from working hard.
　　That’s one of my rules with my kids. If you start it, you finish it, you don’t ever have to do it again, but you gotta finish.
