“花时间”
用英语怎么说？

Many people today read fewer books than before. In the past, people loved reading long novels and newspapers. Now, they spend time on their smartphones. They watch short videos on TikTok and send messages to friends. Many children do not read books for fun anymore. Some experts say this is a big problem. When we do not read, we forget how to think deeply. It becomes hard to understand difficult ideas. Reading is like exercise for the brain. If we stop reading, our brains get weaker. Some students even use AI to write for them. This means they do not learn how to express their own thoughts. However, reading is still very important. It helps us understand other people and the world. We must try to put down our phones and open a book again.

现在许多人读的书比以前少了。过去，人们喜欢阅读长篇小说和报纸。现在，他们更多地在智能手机上花时间。他们看抖音上的短视频，给朋友发消息。许多孩子不再为了好玩而读书了。一些专家说这是一个大问题。当我们不读书时，我们就忘记了如何进行深度思考。理解困难的想法就变得很不容易。阅读就像是大脑的运动。如果我们停止阅读，我们的大脑就会变弱。一些学生甚至使用人工智能来替他们写作。这意味着他们没有学会如何表达自己的想法。然而，阅读仍然非常重要。它帮助我们理解他人和世界。我们必须努力放下手机，重新打开一本书。
