The Harm of PC Games

电脑游戏的危害

　　PC games are now very popular among college students. Many students have bought their own computers, not for study, of course. This fasc ination with PC games, in my opinion, has at least three disadvantages.

　　电脑游戏现在深受大学生欢迎。许多学生自己购买电脑，当然不是为了学习。在我看来，对电脑游戏的迷恋至少有三个危害。

　　First, PC games are a distraction from one's study. Some students spend so much time on PC games that they have no time for study. As a result, they have to take a lot of remedial courses in the following term and some even have to drop out. Second, PC games are costly. Students, the major consumers of the society, get their money from their parents. With more and more spent on computers and software, they have difficulty making their ends meet, thus creating a great burden on their parents. Third, PC games are harmful for the students' health. Some students get so excited with certain games that they can hardly calm down. This is not good for their heart. One news story tells of a boy dying while playing PC games.

　　首先，电脑游戏致使学生不能专心学习。一些学生花费在电脑游戏上的时间过多以致无暇顾及学习。结果，在新学期里，他们不得不补习许多课程，有些甚至只得退学。其次，电脑游戏十分昂贵。学生，作为社会的主要消费群体，钱来自于父母，随着在电脑和软件上的花费越来越多，他们难以量入为出，于是，给父母造成了很大的负担。再次，电脑游戏对人的身体有害。有些学生因某些游戏十分兴奋以致难以平静下来。这对他们的心脏无益。有一则新闻报道曾讲述一个男孩在玩电脑游戏时猝死。

　　Therefore, students should not get too much involved in PC games. To my mind, their spare time should be spent in helpful and healthy extracurricular activities.(192 words)

　　因此，学生不应迷恋电脑游戏。依我之见，他们的业余时间应更多用于一些健康有益的课外活动上。
