答案和解析来啦：
You probably don’t have a problem playing video games or browsing social media on your phone.
用手机玩电子游戏或是刷社交媒体，你可能没什么问题。
In fact, I have no doubt you could sit in front of a screen and do both of those activities for 2 hours, or even longer without breaking your concentration.
事实上，我毫不怀疑你能聚精会神地对着屏幕玩两个小时，甚至更久。
But what about half an hour of studying?
但学习半个小时行不行呢？
Oof.
诶呀
That might be too hard.
那可能就难了。
How about working on your side business for another hour?
如果再花一个小时的时间搞副业呢？
Hmm.
呃
Doesn’t sound too appealing.
好像不是很有吸引力。
Even though you logically know that studying, exercising, building a business or something equally productive, will bring you more benefits in the long run, you still prefer watching TV, playing video games and scrolling through social media.
即使你知道学习、健身、做生意或做其它同样有意义的事，从长远来看，对你更有益，但你还是更喜欢看电视、玩电子游戏、刷社交媒体。
One might argue that it’s obvious why.
有人可能会说原因非常明显。
One activity is easy and doesn’t require much effort, while the other activity is difficult and it requires you to apply yourself.
后者更容易，不需要太多努力，而前者则比较困难，也需要我们投入更多精力。
