Second, it is also useless to worry about the future.

23.第三，现在的这一刻才是我所知晓的唯一现实，而我不想错失它。

24.我信奉活在现在，因为沉湎于过去毫无意义，为未来担忧毫无意义，错失我所知晓的唯一现实中的任何东西毫无意义。

25.过去存在或发生过的事情也许是很美的，令人兴奋，可以带来无穷的珍贵回忆，但是，过去已经死掉了，活着的生灵徘徊在鬼怪居住的世界里是不健康的。

What existed or happened in the past may have been beautiful or exciting and may bring profound and precious memories. But the past is dead and it is not healthy for living spirits to linger over a world inhabited by ghosts.

31.电影与电视的确令人们更具有暴力性，所以，我们从电影或电视中看到的暴力行为越多，我们对它们就会变得越麻木。

Movies and television do make people more violent, so the more we see violent acts on movies and television, the less sensitive we become to them.

32.孩子们往往意识不到暴力行为的后果，甚至他们都不见得意识到他们的某些行为就是暴力行为。

Children may not realize that violence has consequences. Moreover, they may fail to know that some of their
acts are actually violent ones.

33.电影中，演员可以反复地杀与被杀，反正毕竟他们最终还可以再接着演别的电影，但是，现实生活中就不一样了：真实的人生命只有一次。

In movies, actors or actresses can kill or be killed again and again, for after all, they can always come
back to life and continue to act in other movies. However, in real life, a real person can live only once.

34.电影与电视影响我们的日常行为方式，使我们变得慵懒。

Movies and television affect our daily behaviors, making us less active.

35.当一切都通过表演展示给我们时，我们的想象力便停滞了，这会造成我们大脑的惰性。

When everything is acted out for us, our imagination stops performing its due function, which results in mental laziness.

36.不可否认，看电视或电影自然也有其有利的一面。
