BACKHOMEChineseVersion

關(guān)上電視清靜一時我想建議，每天晚上一播完晚間新聞，美國所有的電視臺都依法停播六十至九十分鐘。BACKHOMEChineseVersion讓我們認(rèn)真而通情達理地看一下，如果這一建議被采納的話，會有什么樣的結(jié)果。千家萬戶也許會利用這段時間真正地團聚一番。沒有電視機的干擾，他們晚飯后也許會圍坐在一起，當(dāng)真交談起來。眾所周知，我們的許多問題——事實上是所有的問題，從代溝、高離婚率到某些精神病——至少部分地是由于沒有交流思想而引起的。我們誰也不把自己的心頭的煩惱告訴別人，結(jié)果感情上便產(chǎn)生了那樣的問題。利用這安靜的、全家聚在一起的時刻來討論我們的各種問題，我們相互之間也許會更加了解，更加相愛。BACKHOMEChineseVersion有些晚上，如果沒有必要進行交談，那么各家各戶也許會重新發(fā)現(xiàn)一些更為積極的消遣活動。如果他們掙脫開電視機的束縛而不得不另尋自己的活動，他們也許會合家驅(qū)車去看日落?；蛘咭苍S會全家一起去散步（還記得自己長有雙腳嗎？），用新奇的目光觀察住處周圍的地區(qū)。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion有了空閑時間而又沒有電視可看，大人小孩便有可能重新發(fā)現(xiàn)閱讀。一本好書里的樂趣，勝過一個月中所有糟糕的電視節(jié)目。教育家們報告說，伴隨著電視長大的這一代人幾乎寫不出一句英語句子，甚至在大學(xué)一級受教育的人也是這樣。寫作往往是通過閱讀學(xué)會的。每晚清靜這么一小時，可以造就出文化程度較高的一代新人。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion也許還可以像過去那樣進行另一種形式的閱讀：高聲朗讀。沒有多少娛樂比一家人聚在一起，聽爸爸或媽媽朗讀一篇優(yōu)美的故事更能使一家人關(guān)系融洽和睦了。沒有電視干擾的這一小時，可以成為朗讀故事的時間。等這表悄悄的一小時過去后，要想再把我們從新發(fā)現(xiàn)的娛樂活動中拉回去，電視聯(lián)播公司也許將被迫拿出些更好的節(jié)目來才行。

BACKHOMEChineseVersion乍一看，停播一小時電視的想法似乎過于偏激。如果少了這位電子保姆，做父母的可怎么辦呢？我們怎么來打發(fā)這段時間呢？其實這個想法一點也不偏激。電視開始主宰美國人的空閑時間，至今也不過才25年。我們這中那些年滿和年過35歲的人，還能回憶起沒有電視相瘵的童年，那時我們有一部分空閑時間以收音機為伴——聽收音機至少還需要發(fā)揮聽者的想象力——但另外我們還看書、學(xué)習(xí)、交談、做游戲、發(fā)明一些新的活動。日子也是不那么難過。真的。那時我們確實過得挺開心。
