Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. O n the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.

Answer 1

Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.
技术变革无处不在,影响生活的各个方面,主要是更好。然而,社会变化所带来的新技术经常被误认为是改变态度。
An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.
一个例子是家长的参与他们的孩子上大学的生活。关于这个主题的调查表明,家长今天继续“非常”或“有些“过度保护,即使他们的孩子进入大学宿舍。相同的调查也表明,家长参与的速度大于今天比上一代。这通常解读为一个信号,即今天的父母正试图控制孩子的生活过去的这种行为是适当的。
However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.
然而,更多的家长参与并不一定表明父母未能放开他们的“成人”的孩子。
In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. O n the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.
背景的讨论,似乎改变的价值首先找出原因的情况下父母的参与他们的成年子女。如果前几代的父母要经常联系他们上大学的孩子,这可能吗?可能不会。O n另一方面,频繁的今天沟通的可能性,是否意味着这样的冲动并不是现在的一代?许多研究表明,老年父母——今天的祖父母经常会叫他们的孩子如果这样做的方式和成本没有障碍。
Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.
此外,研究表明,财政是最频繁的父母和他们的大学的孩子之间的沟通。事实上,大学生在经济上依赖于他们的父母也不是什么新问题了,也不要求更多的钱在家发送。这种现象既不好也不坏,它是大学生活的一个事实,现在和过去。
Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.
多亏了先进的技术,我们生活在一个被虐交流的时代。这有许多影响beyondthe父母似乎扮演的角色在他们的孩子去上大学之前的生活。但它是有用的记住,所有这些变化都来自技术,而不是一些想象的渴望父母让他们的孩子在他们的翅膀。
