【试题】
①The indictment came last month from Sen. Josh Hawley in a speech at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.②While some politicians have argued for years that tech giants such as Facebook are dangerous for the economy, Hawley’s argument is that they are detrimental for us as people, creating “a society increasingly defined not by the genuine and personal love of family and church, but by the cold and judgmental world of social media,” he said. ③Are Hawley’s concerns about the downstream social effects of these platforms warranted? ④Research is in its infancy, and the early results are mixed. ⑤However, the findings from a recent article in the journal Psychiatric Quarterly by psychologists Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith Campbell are typical, showing an enormous negative association in adolescents between heavy social media (and other digital media use) and life satisfaction.

①The indictment came last month from Sen. Josh Hawley in a speech at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. 上个月，参议员Josh Hawley在斯坦福大学胡佛机构的一次演讲中提出了这一指控。
②While some politicians have argued for years that tech giants such as Facebook are dangerous for the economy, Hawley’s argument is that they are detrimental for us as people, creating “a society increasingly defined not by the genuine and personal love of family and church, but by the cold and judgmental world of social media,” he said. 虽然有些政客多年来一直认为Facebook等科技巨头对经济是有害的，Hawley的观点认为它们对作为人民的我们也是有害的，因为它们创建的是“一个社会，这种社会越来越不由真正的和个人对家庭和教会的爱来定义的，而是由冰冷和评判的社会媒体世界来定义，”他说。
③Are Hawley’s concerns about the downstream social effects of these platforms warranted? Hawley对这些平台的社会消极影响的担忧是有道理的吗?

⑤However, the findings from a recent article in the journal Psychiatric Quarterly by psychologists Jean M. Twenge and W. Keith Campbell are typical, showing an enormous negative association in adolescents between heavy social media (and other digital media use) and life satisfaction. 然而，心理学家Jean M. Twenge和W. Keith Campbell在最近在《精神病学季刊》上发表的一篇文章的研究结果是典型的，结果表明青少年过度使用社交媒体(和其他数字媒体)和生活满意度之间存在巨大的负相关性。
