12、车的地方? ” “ 仔细想想, ”我说,“ 我没见过那种情况。” “ 不仅总有空着的车位, 而且司机都用不着把车倒进去。无论什么时候, 当电视中的人 需要一个停车位的时候, 总会有两个可用。电视正引导着孩子们去相信这样的事情 他 们长大后, 无论什么时候, 也无论在哪里, 只要需要, 他们总能找到停车的地方。而现实生 活中, 孩子们为找个停车位驾车绕着街区转悠了三个小时, 最后仍没有找着一个可以停车 的地方, 你能想象此刻他们所受到的伤害吗? ” “ 我从没有想过, 但确有其事。电视上还展现了什么歪曲现实的画面? ”“ 你有没有发现, 无论什么时候, 一个人走出饭店、办公楼或公寓, 对门卫说

13、给我叫辆 车, 立刻就有辆出租车过来? 成千上万的孩子就有了这样一种印象: 门卫只要吹声口哨,马 上就会有辆出租车开过来。我从没听过电视上的门卫说, 对不起, 没有出租车, 您请坐 公交车吧。”“ 当然, ”我说,“ 我以前从没发现那些电视动作片有什么令人紧张的, 现在我明白了。 那是因为总有辆黄色出租车等在荧屏之外。”“ 那么, ”阿普尔鲍姆博士说, “ 你有没有对出租车司机说过 跟着刚才那辆车, 别跟 丢了? ” “ 没有。”“ 如果你那样说, 司机可能会让你打消那个念头。没有谁愿意跟踪另一辆车, 因为那意 味着他将卷入某种麻烦。但是在电视上似乎每个司机都乐于以90 英里的时速, 行驶在雨

14、 水冲刷过的街道上, 跟踪满满一车的打手。最糟糕的是孩子们却相信这样的事。”阅读导评电视的发明无疑是人类历史上的一大进步, 它让我们更多更快地了解到世界各地已经 发生和正在发生的事情。然而, 人们在充分享受它的同时, 一些不良后果也接踵而至。人 们过分地追求利润, 这已经使电视在很多时候成了一种误导大众的工具, 受影响最严重的 当属处于启蒙阶段的孩子。阅读导释1. 这个词的意思是“ 关心, 担忧”, 常用于词组be concerned with 中, 意思是“ 有关系, 涉 及”。concern 的用法很多, 常用的词组有: as concerns ( 关于) ; so / as far as

15、 . . . be concerned ( 关于, 至于) ; concern oneself in / with sth. ( 关心, 挂念, 担心) 。2. 注意, 这里的park 不是作“公园”解, 而是“停车”的意思。下文出现的parking spot 意思 是“ 可停放一辆汽车的空间”, 即通常说的“ 车位”。有些商场前立有标志: 请勿停车! ( no parking, please! ) 停车场一般用parking lot 或car park 表示, 而违章停车传票就是 parking ticket。3. 这个词在这里的意思是“ 可以找到的, 可用的”。4. 这个词意为“扭曲的, 歪曲的”。5. 这里作“ 印象, 感觉”解。和under 搭配的词组很多, 如: under the pressure ( 在压力之下) ; under discussion ( 在讨论之中) 。
