How do you usually spend your spare time? Many people choose to be couch potatoes, but not Luo Han, a 9-year-old from Changsha, Hunan.
空閑時(shí)間你通常會(huì)做些什么呢？許多人都選擇窩在沙發(fā)上看電視，但來(lái)自湖南長(zhǎng)沙的9歲小朋友羅漢卻并非如此。

Luo Han completes at least two hours of outdoor activities every day and has raised a wave of discussion online.
羅漢每天都要進(jìn)行至少兩小時(shí)的戶外活動(dòng)，此舉引發(fā)了網(wǎng)上的一波熱議。

Although he is in primary school, he has already mastered sports like kayaking and paddling.
盡管羅漢還在上小學(xué)，但他已經(jīng)掌握了皮劃艇、劃槳等體育項(xiàng)目。

His aptitude for outdoor sports is due to his father Luo Ge, who actively encourages him to enjoy nature, rather than focusing only on his learning. After noticing that Luo Han did not go out for enough exercise after school, his father took him to do outdoor activities every day.
他在戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)方面的才能都要?dú)w功于其父羅格。父親積極鼓勵(lì)他享受大自然，而不是只關(guān)注學(xué)習(xí)。此前，父親注意到羅漢放學(xué)后戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)量不足，于是便帶他每天進(jìn)行戶外活動(dòng)。

Many applauded them.
許多人都贊賞父子倆的這一做法。

“Exercise can ease brain fog and improve memory. Many students feel stressed about school work, so outdoor activities can help us keep our moods uplifted and improve our learning efficiency,” said Liu Yu, 18, a university freshman.
“運(yùn)動(dòng)能夠緩解腦疲勞，增強(qiáng)記憶力。許多學(xué)生都對(duì)學(xué)校功課倍感壓力，因此戶外活動(dòng)有助于振奮精神，提高我們的學(xué)習(xí)效率，”18歲的大學(xué)新生劉瑜說(shuō)道。

Wang Tao, a parent of a 16-year-old, showed her support for the father. “It’s more than a way to relax. It’s a training of willpower,” she said.
身為一位16歲孩子的家長(zhǎng)，汪韜也對(duì)這位父親的做法表示支持?！斑@不光是種放松方式，還鍛煉了毅力，”她表示。

Her son He Xin, from Hefei Thomas School, Anhui, is a fan of outdoor sports. Although facing increasing pressure in his studies, he has joined the school’s athletic programs.
汪韜的兒子何欣就讀于安徽合肥安生托馬斯學(xué)校，是個(gè)戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)迷。盡管學(xué)業(yè)上的壓力日益增加，但何欣還是參加了學(xué)校的運(yùn)動(dòng)項(xiàng)目。

However, some have also expressed their concerns.
然而，也有一些人表達(dá)了自己的擔(dān)憂。

“Two hours isn’t too much for a 9-year-old, but it might be difficult for high school students to guarantee this block of time when school becomes more demanding,” said Huang Xi, 16, from Liyang High School of Jiangsu province.
“兩小時(shí)對(duì)于9歲的小朋友而言并不算太多，但對(duì)于課業(yè)愈加繁重的高中生而言，或許很難抽出這么多時(shí)間，”來(lái)自江蘇省溧陽(yáng)中學(xué)的16歲學(xué)生黃希如此說(shuō)道。

Ms Zhu, who has a daughter in middle school, also agreed that two hours is too much for the majority of parents, especially on weekdays. “When I am off duty, I need to do housework. After my daughter finishes her homework, she prefers to watch TV. Neither of us would think of going outside for exercise,” Zhu said.
朱女士的女兒正在上中學(xué)，她也認(rèn)為兩小時(shí)對(duì)大多數(shù)家長(zhǎng)而言太多了，尤其是在工作日?！跋掳嗪笪疫€要做家務(wù)。女兒做完作業(yè)后更愿意看電視。我們倆都沒(méi)想過(guò)去戶外鍛煉，”朱女士說(shuō)道。

Other parents are concerned about the safety of outdoor activities. Zhang Zhijin has a son in high school. “Sometimes, teenagers can do crazy and risky things. We worry about accidents,” Zhang said.
還有家長(zhǎng)擔(dān)心戶外活動(dòng)的安全。張之金的兒子正在讀上高中?！坝袝r(shí)候，十幾歲的孩子會(huì)做些瘋狂又危險(xiǎn)的事。我們擔(dān)心出意外，”張之金如此說(shuō)道。
