A research shows using phones can't help people relax from their heavy work.
研究表明，使用手机不能帮助人们从繁重的工作中放松。

To figure out the relation between phones and boredom, the research team installed an app on the phones of 83 volunteers to find out how often they used their phones.
为了弄清楚手机与无聊之间的关系，研究小组在83名志愿者的手机上安装了一个应用程序，以了解他们使用手机的频率。

They also asked these volunteers to keep diaries for three days, recording their level of boredom every hour.
他们还要求这些志愿者记录三天的日记，每小时记录一次自己的无聊程度。

“Phone breaks were frequent（频繁的）: In the 20 minutes following each questionnaire, the volunteers picked up their phones 52 percent of the time.
“手机休息频繁：在每份问卷后的20分钟内，志愿者们52%的时间会拿起手机。

They spent an average of around 90 seconds on it each time,” reports the research team.

“The more tired we are, the more likely we are to reach for our phones.

While we look to our phones to relieve（减轻）boredom, screen time seemed to increase feelings of boredom.
虽然我们试图通过手机来减轻无聊，但屏幕时间似乎增加了无聊的感觉。

The volunteers actually reported higher levels of boredom after having used their smartphones.”

The research team pointed out that phone breaks may end up being more tiring than stimulating.

此外，拿起手机可能会提醒你，如果不需要立刻完成任务，你有更好的选择去做其他事情。
