现今青少年沦为"久坐族"

American children aren't the only couch potatoes with nearly one third of children globally spending three hours a day or more watching TV or on computers, according to study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.

　　一项面向34个国家7万多名青少年开展的调查显示，爱泡在电视机前的并非只有美国儿童，全球近三分之一的儿童每天看电视或玩电脑的时间达到三小时甚至更多。

　　From Argentina to Zambia, Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found most children aren't getting enough exercise and it made no difference if they lived in a rich or a poor country.

　　位于日内瓦的世界卫生组织的瑞吉娜 古特尔德和她的同事发现，从阿根廷到赞比亚，全球多数儿童都缺乏锻炼，而且这和他们生活在富国和穷国没有多大关系。

　　"With regards to physical activity levels, we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries," Guthold said. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."

　　古特尔德说：“在身体锻炼水平上，我们发现穷国和富国的孩子没有太大差别。在贫穷国家长大，并不意味着能得到更多的锻炼。”
