三 翻译
1 As amusing and ingenious as electronic entertainment can be, children—and the society they live in—are the lors when they rely on the forms of fun. Unlike traditional games and toys, “wired” entertainment encourages kids to be unimaginative, socially immature, and crudely densitized to the world around them.
电子游戏非常好玩而且设计得非常精巧，当孩子们依赖于这些娱乐形式时，他们以及他们赖以生存的社会都成了失败者。与传统的游戏和玩具不同的是，电子娱乐促使孩子们不去发挥想象力，社交不成熟，对周围世界麻木不仁。
2 The player is as much a tool of the game as the joystick. Her momentary fun is unsati
sfying becau it leads not to any genuine n of achievement but only to the hypnotic experience of watching someone el’s creation unfold.
玩家就像操纵杆一样，充其量就是个工具。他那瞬间的乐趣并不能令他满足，因为那样不能给他真正的成就感，只是糊里糊涂地看着别人的创造在一点点展现而已。
