调查:狂发短信的人性欲更强

　　Teenagers who text 120 times a day are more likely to have sex and use drink and drugs, a study has found. Researchers said there was a definite link between excessive messaging and risky behaviour. The authors suggested that those who were 'hyper-texting' were likely to have lax or absent parents。

　　有数据显示，发短信频率高的年轻人性欲会比普通人要高、更容易酗酒甚至染上吸毒的恶习。调查者经过证实发现，每日发短信频率过高，若超过120 条的话，容易对年轻人产生不良的影响。据悉，这些“短信狂人”之所以会沉迷于“发信息”都或多或少地受家庭因素影响，是或缺乏父母的关心的缘故。

　　The study was based on confidential surveys taken by 4,200 students at 20 high schools in Cleveland. It revealed around one in five students were hyper-texters and about one in nine were hyper-networkers - those who spent three or more hours a day on Facebook and other social networking websites. Both conditions were more common among girls。

　　据悉，这次调查囊括了美国20所高中的4200名学生，调查发现，有20%的学生有严重的“短信狂人”倾向，10%的学生过于依赖网络(每日在微薄上的时间达3-5小时以及耗费大量时间在社交网上)。调查还发现，女孩沉迷短信以及网络的程度与男孩相比更为严重。

　　Those who texted at least 120 times a day were nearly three-and-a-half times more likely to have had sex than their peers who didn't text as much. Hyper-texters were also more likely to have been in a physical fight, binge drink, use illegal drugs or take medication without a prescription。

　　数据显示，每日发短信至少120次的青年人发生性行为的机率比他们的同龄人高3-3.5倍，而且这些“短信狂人”还面临着生理上的疾病、酗酒以及乱用药品的问题。
