美国青少年迷恋“数码毒品”
　　现实生活中的毒品危害有多大，大家都很清楚。可数码世界的毒品也能害人，你信吗？最近在美国有不少青少年开始迷恋一种叫做“数码毒品”的音乐，据说，听了这种音乐也能让大脑达到吸食毒品后那样的兴奋状态。看来，禁毒也要向数码领域迈进了。
　　Teenagers use so-called ‘digital drugs’ (music) to change their brains in the same way as real-life narcotics。
　　This is the world of ‘i-Dosing’, the new craze sweeping the Internet in which teenagers used so-called ‘digital drugs’ (music) to change their brains in the same way as real-life narcotics。
　　“数码毒品”(i-Dosing)是席卷互联网的一个新潮流。青少年网民用所谓的“数码毒品”音乐让他们的大脑达到很high(兴奋)的状态，就像吸食了毒品一样。
　　They believe the repetitive drone-like music will give them a ‘high’ that takes them out of reality, only legally available and downloadable on the Internet。
　　他们认为那种不断重复的单一节奏的音乐会让他们high起来，带他们逃离现实生活。这种类型的音乐只能通过互联网合法下载。
　　I-Dosing tracks have imposing names such as ‘Gates of Hades’ or ‘Hand of God’ which are ten minutes long - some sound like a ship’s horn being repeated again and again whilst others are more abrasive and resemble cheap synthesizers being played very fast。
　　“数码毒品”类音乐一般都会取像“地狱之门”或“上帝之手”之类的名字，持续时间约为10分钟，有的听着像轮船汽笛不断重复的声音，有的则更加刺耳，像廉价音乐合成器快速演奏时发出的声音。
　　Not everyone is taking i-Dosing seriously, but since it could indicate a willingness to experiment with real drugs, warnings have been issued in some parts of the US to prevent children to do it。
　　虽然有些人并没有把“数码毒品”当回事，不过考虑到这种行为可能会引导青少年尝试实体毒品，美国一些地区已经发布预警，防止青少年使用“数码毒品”。
