The Influence of Television and Movies
电视与电影的影响
There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored.
毫无疑问，观看电视和电影会影响人们的行为方式。此外，人们似乎正在花费越来越多的时间观看某种影像娱乐，无论是电视、录像带还是DVD。因此，视觉媒体的影响不容忽视。
One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make thembecome dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
这类媒体最显著的影响之一是，观看它们会促使人们购买某些产品。电视广告无处不在，如今甚至连电影院也允许播放广告。电视和电影影响人们的另一种方式是，它们会根据人们观看的节目类型，要么让人对世界有更广阔的认知，要么产生扭曲的看法。观看新闻和教育类节目的人可以学到许多新事物，而主要观看娱乐节目的人可能会开始相信世界上大多数人都家财万贯、容貌俊美。这可能导致他们对自己的生活产生不满。最后，或许最容易受影响的观众是儿童，他们可能无法区分事实与虚构，并试图模仿在电视或电影中看到的行为。
With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experience.
随着影像娱乐的日益普及，社会必须关注这些影响。电视和电影尽管兼具娱乐性和知识性，却无法取代真实的体验。
