Studies in the US and the UK consistently show that children have lost the right to wander. This is why many of our youth turn to technology They are not addicted to the computer:they're addicted to interaction and being around their friends. Children and especially teenagers, don’t want to only socialize with parents and siblings they want to play with their peers That's how they make sense of the world.And we've robbed them of that opportunity We're raising our children in captivity and they turn to technology to socialize learn and relax. Why are we blaming the screens?
美国和英国的研究一致表明，儿童已经失去了闲逛的权利。这就是为什么我们的许多年轻人转向技术。他们不沉迷于电脑:他们沉迷于互动，沉迷于和朋友在一起。孩子尤其是青少年，不想只和父母，兄弟姐妹交往:他们想和同龄人一起玩。这就是他们理解世界的方式。我们剥夺了他们这个机会。我们在囚禁中抚养我们的孩子，他们转向技来社交、学习和放松。为什么我们要责怪屏幕?

1. 绿色是高分版，蓝色是简化版，黑色是"实在没办法”版(摆烂版)。尤其要说明的是，摆烂版可能会存在逻辑缺乏衔接，以及字数不够的情况——但是根据我曾经的一对一辅导经验：很多学生的底限似乎不是凑字数，而是牺牲字数的代价下能够写得完一篇作文就不错了。 (大多数人可以先试试蓝色的简化版)
2. 每个版本都有地道的词组，即使是最简单的版本。比如criticize..for...sth. ; keep...away from...

One of the most widespread concerns these days is that children and teenagers spend too much time faces glued to the screens of phones and laptops. Older generations see this behaviour as anti-social where youngsters are not interacting face to face in the real world with real people. Instead of blaming societal problems though, they blame the technology itself.
最近最普遍的担忧之一是儿童和青少年花太多时间盯着手机和笔记本电脑的屏幕。老一辈人认为这种行为是反社会的，因为年轻人在现实世界中无法与真实的人面对面交流。然而，他们没有责怪社会问题，而是责怪技术本身。
A big problem these days is that children and teenagers spend too much time looking at the screens of phone sand laptops. Older people think that this is not social.They think children should spend more time playing and studying face to face. The older people do not think that society is the problem they blame the technology
如今的一个大问题是，儿童和青少年花太多时间看手机和笔记本电脑的屏幕。年纪大的人觉得这样不社交。他们认为孩子们应该花更多的时间面对面玩耍和学习。年纪大的人不认为社会是问题所在，他们责怪科技。
摆烂版: Young people are increasingly/more and more reliant/dependent on smart phones.Older people think it is wrong. They think youngsters should communicate with others in person They assume/think the problem is caused by the technology.
For young people now, these kind of on line interactions might be their only chance to socialize. learn and relax with others. As urbanization has rapidly increased, citizens now must live in apartment blocks in cities surrounded by tens of thousands of people, but feeling lonelier than ever before.
对于现在的年轻人来说，这种在线互动可能是他们与他人社交、学习和放松的唯一机会。随着城市化进程的加快，市民们现在必须住在城市的公寓楼里，周围有成千上万的人，但他们比以往任何时候都感到孤独。
For young people now the only way they can communicate with other youngsters for playing learning and relaxing is through the internet.Many of these children live in apartment blocks in the city with thousands of other people who are all strangers. This makes them feel very lonely
对于现在的年轻人来说，他们与其他年轻人交流玩耍、学习和放松的唯一方式就是通过互联网。这些孩子中的许多人和成千上万的陌牛人一起住在城市的公寓楼里。这让他们感到非常孤独。
摆烂版: On the one hand children prefer/like to communicate with friends in the virtual/digital world.On the other hand they live in cities with strangers. They feel very lonely
In the countryside. people knew and trusted each other, which meant children could wander and play freely.In the city, it is rare that people talk with their neighbors, and most parents are afraid to let their children roam the city freely. With this in mind, it is not surprising that young people turn to the online world for a sense of community
在农村，人们互相了解和信任，这意味着孩子们可以自由地闲逛和玩耍。在城市里，人们很少与他们的邻居交谈，大多数父母都不敢让他 们的孩子在城市里自由漫步。考虑到这一点，年轻人转向网络世界寻求团体感就不足为奇了。
In the countryside, people knew and trusted each other. Mothers and fathers were not afraid to let their children go out to play and have fun. Parents in the city are scared to let their children go out to play because they think it is too dangerous. That is why children look on the internet for places to play and chat.
在农村，人们互相了解和信任。母亲和父亲不怕让他们的孩子出去玩耍和娱乐。城里的父母不敢让孩子出去玩，因为他们认为太危险了。这就是为什么孩子们在互联网上寻找玩耍和聊天的地方。
摆烂版: In the past people lived in villages and knew each other. They are allowed to go outside to have fun Nowadays, parents are afraid to let them play outdoors. As a result, children go to the internet to make friends.
Why we blame the technology though is a more difficult point to answer. Most parents who are forced to work nine to five as well as overtime. probably have a sense of guilt that they have no time to spend with their families, but rather than search for answers inside themselves, they choose the obvious scapegoat - technology
然而，"我们为什么要责怪科技"却是一个更难回答的问题。大多数被迫朝九晚五加班的父母可能会有一种没有时间陪伴家人的负罪感，但他们没有在自己身上寻找答案，而是选择了显而易见的替罪羊——科技。
But why do people blame the technology, not society. In dual-earner families, both the mother and father work every day and feel bad that they can not spend time with their family Instead of recognizing that there is a problem, they get angry and blame their children for always staring at their phone.
但是为什么人们责怪科技，而不是社会呢。在失独家庭中，母亲和父亲每天都要工作，为不能花时间陪伴家人而感到难过。他们没有意识到问题的存在，而是生气并责怪他们的孩子总是盯着他们的手机。
摆烂版: People criticize the technology instead of society. Parents are busy working everyday. They spend little time with their children. However they do not realize that and they criticize their children for obsession with/ addiction to using phones.
Rather than parents trying to reverse this trend though, they reinforce it by always having a phone in their hand and putting an iPad in the hands of infants. Frankly, this is probably a problem that is not going to disappear as the world depends more and more on the internet.
然而，父母并没有试图扭转这一趋势，而是通过手里一直拿着手机，把iPad放在婴儿手中来强化这一趋势。坦率地说，随着世界越来越依赖互联网，这可能是一个不会消失的问题。
Parents are often too tired or lazy to stop this trend, and anyway they often have a smart phone in their hand, and then pass their child the iPad just to make them be quiet. Of course, the internet is becoming more and more important in our lives, so this problem is not going to disappear.
父母往往太累或太懒，无法阻止这种趋势，反正他们经常手里拿着一部智能手机，然后把 iPad递给孩子，只是为了让他们安静下来。当然，互联网在我们的生活中越来越重要，所以这个问题不会消失。
摆烂版: Parents should spend more time with their children. By doing sotheycan help children focus their attention on face to face communication.
(或者最后一句写:By doing sothey can keep children away from smartphones).
注意词组:focus sb's attention on….把某人的注意力放在……上
