譯：對休閑的具體利用因人而異。即使是同一休閑運(yùn)動，不同人的利用方式也不同。因此，人們可以按下述方式利用看電視這一最常見的休閑活動：改變感受來“逃避”工作壓力與緊張；更多了解自己周圍正在發(fā)生的一切；通過對比電視節(jié)目中描繪的別人的生活經(jīng)歷為了解自己提供一個機(jī)會。8.Inanurbansocietyinwhichhighlystructured,fast-pacedandstressfulworkloomslargeinlife,experiencesofadifferentnature,beittelevisionwatchingorbird-watching,canleadtoaself-renewalandamore“balanced”wayoflife.
