“發短信”英語怎麼說

摘要：據最新一期《大衆傳媒文化心理學》雜誌上的一篇文章報告稱，發短信與大學一年級新生的睡眠問題有直接關係。你知道怎麼用英語表達嗎?

In an article in the latest edition of Psychology of Popular Media Culture, it is reported thattexting was a direct cause of sleep problems among first-year students. The study examined links among interpersonal stress, text-messaging behavior, and three indicators of college students' health: burnout, sleep problems and emotional well-being.

Although the results of the study showed that the impact of texting on students' psychological well-being depended on the level of interpersonal stress they were already facing, frequent texting was associated with poorer sleep regardless of their previous level of stress.

據最新一期《大衆傳媒文化心理學》雜誌上的一篇文章報告稱，發短信與大學一年級新生的睡眠問題有直接關係。這項研究對人際壓力、發短信行爲以及大學生健康三大指標(勞累程度、睡眠問題和情緒健康)進行了探究。

儘管研究結果顯示發短信對學生心理健康的影響取決於他們已有的人際壓力水平，但是頻繁地發短信會導致睡眠更糟，而這與他們之前的壓力水平如何並無關聯。

　　【講解】

文中的texting就是“發短信”的意思，相當於text-messaging和SMSing。texting是動名詞，動詞原型爲text。text作爲動詞時，意思就是“發短信”，常用結構爲text somebody something 發短信告訴某人某事。

此外，文中第一段的first-year student，是指大一新生，相當於freshman或first grader。大二學生就叫sophomore(或second grader)，大三學生叫junior(或third grader)，而大四學生就是senior(或fourth grader)。
