教宗：年輕人別浪費時間上網
Pope urges young people not to waste time on Internet
Pope Francis on Tuesday urged 50,000 German altar servers not to waste time on the Internet, smartphones and television, but to spend their time on more productive activities.
教宗方濟各周二勸告5萬名德國聖壇侍從，不要浪費時間在網際網路與智慧手機與電視上，應把時間花在更有生產力的活動。
"Maybe many young people waste too many hours on futile things," the pope said in a short speech to the altar servers - young people who help the priest during religious services - who had come to Rome on a pilgrimage.
教宗在向聖壇侍從的短演講說，「也許有太多年輕人浪費太多時間在無益的活動」。聖壇侍從是在宗教服務協助神父的年輕人，他們之前來到羅馬朝聖。
"Our life is made up of time, and time is a gift from God, so it is important that it be used in good and fruitful actions."
「我們的生命由時間構成，而時間是神給的禮物，所以應當把它用在好與正面的事情」。
Activities cited by Francis as futile were: "chatting on the Internet or with smartphones, watching TV soap operas, and (using) the products of technological progress, which should simplify and improve the quality of life,but distract attention away from what is really important."
方濟各列舉的「無益的活動」有：用網際網路或透過智慧手機聊天，看電視肥皂劇，以及 (使用)進步的科技產品，它本應改善生命的品質並將之單純化，但卻使人忽略真正重要的事情」。
