Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friends and family. I think this is an exaggeration. In my opinion, whether or not television hurts communication depends on what type of program is being viewed. More importantly, it depends on the type of viewer.
有些人认为电视破坏了朋友和家人之间的交流。我认为这是夸大其词。在我看来，电视是否会损害交流取决于看什么类型的节目。更重要的是，它取决于查看器的类型。
There are empty programs and educational programs. Empty programs do not challenge people. They have just enough storyline to keep them from switching channels. There are also passive and active viewers. A passive viewer will just watch television without thinking about what be or she seeing. The combination of an empty program and a passive viewer makes communication unlikely. Passive viewers just continue to watch, actually enjoying the fact that they don't have to think. They won't break away to talk about programming with friends and family. Even with better programming, passive viewers still won't think or communicate much. The probably even prefer the empty program because the better programming is too much work.
有空程序和教育程序。空程序不会挑战人。他们有足够的故事情节来阻止他们转换频道。也有被动和主动的观众。一个消极的观众只会看电视，而不去想她看到了什么。空程序和被动查看器的结合使得通信不太可能。被动的观众只是继续观看，实际上享受着他们不必思考的事实。他们赢得了与朋友和家人谈论节目的机会。即使有了更好的节目，被动观众仍然赢得了不多的思考和交流。他们甚至可能更喜欢空节目，因为更好的节目是太多的工作。
On the other hand, active viewers watching educational programming always want to share what they see with friends and family. “Educational” doesn't necessarily mean documentaries on BBS. They could be dramas with realistic relationships or action shows with clever plotlines. When active viewers watch programs, they have ideas and talk about them with others. Good programming inspires them to change their thinking and their lives. Unlike passive viewers, they don't want to watch more and more without thinking.
另一方面，观看教育节目的活跃观众总是希望与朋友和家人分享他们所看到的。&“教育”并不一定意味着BBS上的纪录片。它们可以是现实关系的戏剧，也可以是情节巧妙的动作片。当活跃的观众观看节目时，他们会有想法并与其他人讨论。好的编程激发他们改变思维和生活。与被动观众不同，他们不想不经思考就看得越来越多。
Television may destroy communication among passive viewers. Those viewers probably don't want to communicate with friends and family much anyway. For active viewers who already enjoy communicating, television is actually helpful!
电视可能会破坏被动观众之间的交流。这些观众可能不太想和朋友和家人交流。对于已经喜欢交流的活跃观众来说，电视其实是很有帮助的！
