信息時(shí)代的通病：“信息肥胖癥”

這是一個(gè)信息爆炸的時(shí)代，每個(gè)人每一刻都在源源不斷地接受信息，人們沒(méi)有意識(shí)到，這些過(guò)量的快餐信息已經(jīng)讓自己患上了infobesity(信息肥胖癥)。

 

 

Infobesity refers to a new disease caused by excessive consumption of information.

“信息肥胖癥”指的是信息消費(fèi)過(guò)量導(dǎo)致的一種新病癥。

Nowadays newspapers, magazines, television and the Internet are producing far more information than we can absorb, which seduces us into ingesting too much, just like food.

在現(xiàn)今這個(gè)時(shí)代，報(bào)紙、雜志、電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)都在制造大量信息，這些信息引誘著我們不斷去攝取，即使我們?cè)缫?ldquo;吃飽了”。

The information served up by commercial television is usually poor in fiber and high in the information equivalent of fat and sugar. People are becoming “infobese” from overconsumption of such information.

商業(yè)電視提供的信息餐往往“纖維”含量少而“脂肪”和“糖分”含量高。過(guò)度攝取這種信息正使人們患上“信息肥胖癥”。
