玩游戲太久小心得“游戲背”
低頭玩手機，弓著身子玩游戲機，現在的小孩子們大部分業余時間都是在電子設備的陪伴下度過的。而這樣的休閑習慣很可能會對他們的身體發育產生影響，導致脊柱彎曲等問題。
An increasing number of young people are developing a condition, unique to modern society, that is dubbed 'Gameboy Back'.
越來越多的年輕人開始患上一種現代社會獨有的病癥，叫做“游戲背”。
The modern phenomenon, which causes curvature of the spine and sometimes herniated (slipped) discs, is a result of children sitting hunched over games consoles and smartphones for hours on end. The problem is particularly prevalent in eight to 18-year-olds.
這種現代病癥是孩子們長時間弓著身子玩游戲或玩手機造成的，會導致脊柱彎曲，有時會引發椎間盤突出。這種現象在8到18歲的青少年當中尤為常見。
However, a ban on such devices is not required. Instead more attention needs to be paid to correct posture.
不過，要解決這一問題不是要禁用這一類設備，而是要多多注意平時的坐姿。
The last time such symptoms were observed was more than 100 years ago, when child labor was common in Europe. In those days, kids got weak back from child labor, now they're getting it from these devices. (Source: Mail Online)
100多年前童工在歐洲很普遍的時期，青少年中曾出現過類似的癥狀。那時候，孩子們的后背不好是因為繁重的勞動，而現在卻是因為這些電子設備。
