Let me give you some of these studies. One study suggests that families who “unplug” and gather together at meal times experience a positive impact on many childhood behaviors such as less substance abuse, reduced teen pregnancies and lower instances of childhood depression.
让我来给你举一些研究的例子。有项研究表明,家人“暂停一会儿”,在饭点一起吃饭,会对许多儿童的行为有积极的影响,例如减少滥用毒品、降低青少年怀孕的几率、减少童年抑郁症的病例。
In many cases, kids who eat dinner on a regular basis with their family also have higher self-esteem and above average grade point averages. Having regular conversations around the dinner table can help boost vocabulary and pubic speaking skills. Eating home-cooked meals can also have a positive effect on childhood obesity.
在很多情况下,经常和家人一起吃晚饭的孩子会有更强的自尊心和高于平均水平的均分成绩。在餐桌上经常性的交流会提升(孩子的)词汇量和公众演讲技巧。吃自家做的饭对儿童的肥胖症也有积极的影响。
