Para.1
For the new meta-analysis, scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain aggregated 26 studies with close to 470,000 participants. Each study explored the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading improves comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect is between six and seven times smaller than print reading, and it’s smallest for children.
西班牙巴伦西亚大学的科学家为新的元分析汇总了26项研究，涉及近47万名参与者的信息。每项研究都探究了休闲时间里数字化阅读对理解的影响。他们发现数字阅读提高了理解能力，但其好处比纸质阅读小六到七倍，而且对儿童的好处最少。

Para.2
Why does digital reading appear to be far less beneficial? The authorscitednumerousspeculationsfrom the literature. First, the linguistic quality of digital text tends to be of much lower quality. When chatting, we often use informal language with simplified vocabulary, and we ignore grammar rules. Content is also typically far shorter, not requiring the focus andretentionto understand and fully enjoy longer works with intricatenarrativesand numerous characters.
为什么数字化阅读的好处少那么多？作者引用了文献中的大量推测。首先，数字化文本的语言质量往往较低。当聊天时，我们经常使用词汇简化的非正式语言，而忽略了语法规则。文本内容通常也短得多，不需要集中精力和记忆力来理解和充分享受长文章具备的复杂的叙事和众多的人物角色。

According to Naomi S. Baron, an emerita professor of world languages and cultures at American University, a book’s physicalpropertiesmight also uniquely boost information retention. “With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page,” she wrote. The physical properties of a book or magazine — the smell, the looks, the feel — can also make reading more pleasurable, she added in an email interview with Big Think.
美国大学世界语言和文化荣誉退休教授内奥米·s·巴伦表示，书籍的物理特性也可能单独促进信息记忆。“纸质书籍可以让人真正用双手感触，连同不同页面的视觉方位。人们通常会把他们读到的内容和对应第几页或者在书页上的什么位置联系起来，”她写道。翻译划线句，长按文末小程序码打卡，答案下期公布~

Lastly, when reading content on digital sources, distractions from social media, YouTube, and video games are often just a click away,hamperingfull comprehension of texts. Because youth tend to have impaired impulse control, they can be more susceptible than adults to distractions when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules, meaning they will be exposed to morerudimentarywriting on social media and in chats with friends.
最后，当阅读数字资源的内容时，社交媒体、油管、电子游戏等都是干扰源，通常只需点击一下，就会影响对文章内容的全面理解。由于青少年的冲动控制能力往往较差，因此他们阅读数字化内容时比成年人更容易分心。他们也不太可能掌握词汇和语法规则，这意味着他们在社交媒体和与朋友们聊天时接触的更多是基础的写作。

Para.5
It’s for these reasons that the authors recommend that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. (A 2019 study for the most part showed no difference in reading comprehension when reading works in print form versus on a Kindle, though readers were not as efficient at locating events in the temporality of the story.)
正是由于这些原因，作者建议家长和老师限制孩子接触数字内容的时间，或者至少强调使用印刷品或使用带墨水屏的基本电子阅读器。（2019 年的一项研究在很大程度上表明，在阅读印刷版作品与阅读 Kindle作品时的阅读理解能力不会存在差异，尽管读者在按照故事的推进时间定位内容方面效率不高。）
