Because the more television kids watch, the more they're exposed to advertising.<ch>为什么呢？因为孩子们看的电视越多，他们接触到的广告就越多。 [08:14.44]The more advertising they see, the more likely they are to insist on purchasing items when they go with their parents to the store. <ch>他们看到的广告越多，当他们和父母一起去商店时，他们就越有可能坚持购买（某些）物品。 [08:22.74]This could generate conflict if the parents refuse. <ch>如果父母拒绝，就可能会产生冲突。 [08:26.47]All that, researchers say, can contribute to parents' overall stress levels. <ch>研究人员说，所有这些都会导致父母的整体压力水平上升。 [08:32.54]What's the solution?

Research suggests a simple reason. <ch>为什么会发生这种情况？研究表明，原因很简单。 [11:52.85]When one person looks really good, others look bad by comparison. <ch>当一个人看起来真的特别好时，相比之下，其他人看起来就会很差。 [11:58.04]Those others then have an incentive in stopping that person from looking good, especially if they can't or won't compete.<ch>然后，那些人就会想让这个人看起来不那么好，特别是在那些人没办法或不愿意与之竞争的时候。 [12:07.22]After all, we're all judged in comparison with others.<ch>毕竟，我们都是通过与他人比较来被评判的。 [12:11.58]When faced with someone better, what can a normal person do? <ch>当面对更好的人时，一个普通人能怎么做呢？ [12:15.95]One option is to actively compete. A second option is to bring that person down. <ch>一种选择是积极竞争。第二种选择是把那个人拉下来。 [12:22.34]That is to suppress their cooperation or work ethic, infer selfish motives for their actions, or imply real or imagined hypocrisy. <ch>也就是说，压制他们的合作或工作准则，推断他们行为的自私动机，或暗示真实或想象出的虚伪。 [12:32.79]Other tactics include attacking them on unrelated dimensions or punishing them outright.<ch>其他策略包括在某些不相关的维度上对他们进行攻击，或者直接对他们进行惩罚。 [12:40.00] Why does this matter?<ch>为什么这很重要？ [12:41.49]Critics often attack the motives of people who protect the environment, donate money or work too hard. <ch>批评者经常对那些保护环境、捐款或工作太努力的人的动机进行攻击。 [12:49.80]Such good deeds are dismissed as naive or hypocritical by those who do not perform those deeds.<ch> 这些善行被那些不做这些事的人视为天真或虚伪。 [12:57.39]This criticism may ultimately discourage people from doing good deeds. <ch>这种批评最终可能会使人们打消做好事的念头。 [13:03.09]So it's important to recognize these attacks for what they are.<ch>因此，识别这些攻击的本质是很重要的。 [13:08.60]Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.<ch>请根据你刚刚听到的文章回答问题12到15。 [13:13.82]12.
