CNN美国有线新闻 TikTok限制未成年人使用时长不超1小时（在线收听）

We're going to start today with what I call the scroll that squashes your goals, spending too much time on social media.

今天我们将从会让你目标落空、沉迷社交媒体的刷手机行为开始谈起。

And one social media app TikTok is looking to put a lockdown on all you're looking around on their wildly popular platform.

社交媒体应用TikTok希望对你们在其广受欢迎的平台上看到的所有内容进行封锁。

On Wednesday, TikTok announced that users under 18 years of age will have their accounts locked after one hour of screen time on the app each day.

周三，TikTok宣布，18岁以下的用户每天在该应用程序上观看一小时后，他们的账户将会被锁定。

In order to continue, users are going to have to enter a password.

想要继续刷手机，用户必须输入密码。

Now, the company and many experts believe that the feature could improve the digital wellbeing of users by requiring them to actively opt out of a screen time limit.

现在，该公司和许多专家认为，该功能通过要求用户主动选择退出屏幕时间限制，可以提高用户的数字健康水平。

The new initiative will roll out in the coming weeks and it's one of the most aggressive moves yet by a social media company to prevent people from getting caught up in the seemingly endless scrolling that can be really consuming.

这项新举措将在未来几周内推出，这是社交媒体公司迄今为止最激进的举措之一，目的是防止人们陷入无休止刷屏，沉迷于其中。

The move also comes after TikTok, and other social media platform has faced years of scrutiny of their impact on young users.

这项举措实施前，TikTok和其他社交媒体平台因对年轻用户的影响而面临多年的审查。

And TikTok specifically is facing mounting pressure from lawmakers, some of whom feel the platform should be banned altogether, due in part to online security concerns.

TikTok尤其面临着议员给予的越来越大的压力，其中一些议员认为应该完全禁止该平台，部分原因是出于网络安全方面的考虑。

How much time do you spend scrolling each day?

你每天花多少时间刷手机?

We could all probably spend a little less time on social media, while apps like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat can be really powerful tools to learn, motivate, inspire and connect us with people.

我们或许都可以少花点时间在社交媒体上，但是像TikTok、Instagram和Snapchat这样的应用程序可以成为学习、激励、鼓舞和联系他人的强大工具。

Most experts agree that too much screen time can have that effect, especially on young people.

大多数专家都认为，刷手机时间过长会产生这种影响，尤其是对年轻人。

More now from CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

CNN首席医疗记者桑杰·古普塔博士将为我们带来详细报道。

Everyone knows that screen time probably is a problem for them, whether you're a teenager or an adult.

每个人都知道，刷手机时间对他们来说可能是一个问题，无论你是一位青少年还是成年人。

We spent too much time on our phones.

我们花了太多时间在手机上。

And what's amazing is that, you know, look, these phones have not been around that long.

令人惊讶的是，手机出现的时间并没有那么久。

So, a lot of people now research and kind of look into how much time are we spending on phones and what can we do about it?

现在很多人都在研究我们花了多少时间在手机上，对此，我们能做些什么?

Interesting, one piece of data that jumped out at me, the average person will pick up their phone to look at it, just look at it 300-sometimes a day.

有趣的是，有一项数据突然吸引了我，普通人每天会拿起手机看300次。

So, you're just constantly doing this, and breaking that cycle, that initial cycle of look.

你只是不断地刷手机，打破最初的看手机循环。

I don't even know why I'm picking up my phone.

我甚至不知道我为什么要拿起手机。

I'm just doing it, I think, was a really important thing that came up over and over again.

我就是这么做了，我认为，这是一件非常重要的事情，一遍又一遍地出现。

So, Catherine Price who wrote up a book how to break up with your phone, she says ask these three questions every time you pick up your phone.

凯瑟琳·普莱斯写了一本关于如何放下手机的书，她说每次拿起手机时都要问这三个问题。

What for? Why now? And what else? What else could I be doing instead?

拿起手机做什么? 为什么是现在? 还有什么要做的? 我还能做些什么呢?

It's just to sort to bring your brain back online for a second so you're not mindlessly starting to look up your phone.

这只是为了让你的大脑恢复片刻正常，这样你就不会漫无目的地看手机了。

I thought that was really interesting, something I've been doing already in my life.

我觉得这真的很有趣，这是我生活中一直在做的事情。
