It's springtime, and that means mud pies, bug bites and scraped knees—if you're a preschooler. Or at least it used to.
时值春天，而春天对学前小朋友来说则意味着泥馅饼，蚊虫叮咬和擦伤膝盖。或者说至少曾经是。
Health experts say young children should get at least an hour of physical activity a day. And studies have linked more time outside with motor development, improved mental health, better behavior and, of course, more sun-supplied vitamin D.
健康专家建议孩子们每天至少花一个小时来做体力运动。且研究显示户外活动时间越长，越有利于运动发育、促进心理健康，改善行为，当然也有助于接受日晒，产生更多维生素D。
But a new study of nearly 9,000 U.S. children found that almost half of preschool-age kids are not getting outside at least once a day with their parents.
但一项新的研究在调查了近9千名美国儿童后发现几乎有一半的学龄前儿童并没有每天被父母带出去玩。
Girls were even less likely to be taken outside than boys, and some families reported not taking their young children outside more than a few times a month. The findings are in Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine.
女孩们被带出去玩的时间比男孩们更少，且有些家庭称带孩子出去玩的时间一个月只有几次。这项发现发表在《儿科学与青少年疾病文献集》上。
Kids who had daycare were slightly less likely to get the time outside with a parent. They were also unlikely to get the recommended minimum one-hour of physical activity while at daycare. So researchers recommended checking in with care providers about time outside. One hour out of 24 isn't too much to ask, right?
那些托儿所的孩子们同家长一起出去玩的可能性更少。托儿所也不太可能建议孩子们每天至少花一个小时去户外活动。因此研究人员建议与保健人员确认孩子户外活动时间。一天24小时，花一小时去运动不是过分的要求，对吗？
