Like drinking a glass or two of wine, it helps digestion and lightens the mind. But those who spend hours watching it each evening, with less and less control over their attention, and deriving progressively less enjoyment from what they watch, risk becoming as besotted as an alcoholic who only feels alive when he blots out reality.
当然，如果有选择地少量观看，电视也会带来不少益处。就像饮下一两杯红酒，看电视会有利消化，放松心情。但如果每晚都花费几个小时，对注意力的分配越来越失去控制，从所看节目中获得的乐趣也日益减少，就会冒着沦为酒鬼的危险，只在脱离现实的时候才有生命力。如果能够知道我们会做什么，那么没有一只黑熊会愿意落入圈套。
