丈夫沉迷游戏致婚姻破裂 英国妻子最恨魔兽世界

Ryan G Van Cleave, an expert on video game addiction, said many partners were unaware that gaming can become an addiction.
克利夫是一名研究“电子游戏瘾”的专家。他说，很多人都无法意识到电子游戏会让人上瘾。

He said: ‘The problem spouses encounter with video game addiction is that the non-gamer doesn’t appreciate that it’s an addiction. This means it’s not a choice to spend so much time in a virtual environment versus time with the spouse and family. It’s a compulsion.
他说：“当夫妻们遇到的这种一方沉迷电子游戏的状况时，通常情况下，另一方都没有想到这是一种瘾，也就是说，上瘾的那一方是不由自主、无法控制的地玩游戏，因而无法花更多的时间去陪伴真实世界里的妻子和家人。”

‘The reality is that with the proper professional support, a video game addict, like any other type of addict, can overcome the addiction.’
克利夫建议：“事实上，沉迷电子游戏类似其他种类的上瘾，只要通过适当的科学治疗，这种瘾就能被克服。”

The study looked at 200 unreasonable behaviour petitions filed by women.
这份调查研究了200起由妇女提出的因不可理喻行为而离婚的诉状。

Divorce Online managing director Mark Keenan said his team carried out the research after noticing World of Warcraft was repeatedly cited by unhappy wives.
离婚在线公司的总经理马克 基南说，他的团队因为注意到愤怒的妻子们总是抱怨魔兽世界，而发起了这次调查。

He said: ‘I was surprised by the result at first, but I would expect the number to be even higher next year.
他说：“起初我很惊讶会有这样的调查结果，但是我认为明年这个比例还会更高。”

‘The increase could be a consequence of people staying indoors more because of the recession, or it might be being used by men in particular as a means of escape from an already unhappy relationship.’
“因为经济不景气人们更多地待在户内，或者丈夫们可能特别愿意使用这种方法从本不愉快的夫妻关系中摆脱出来，而导致了这一结果。”
