名词解释：追剧就是每天在电视或电脑旁算好时间掐着表守电视剧开播的行为。你知道“追剧”英语怎么说吗?
Binge-watching is associated with loneliness and depression, a recent study has shown.
Those who spend hours immersed in back-to-back episodes of their favourite TV series really are likely to be sad, according to the findings.
US scientists at the University of Texas, Austin, asked 316 young people aged 18 to 29 how often they indulged in TV marathons and how frequently they felt lonely or depressed.
They found that the more lonely or depressed the participants were, the more likely they were to binge TV-watching in order to escape feeling low.
近期的一项研究发现，追剧与孤独和抑郁有关。
根据这项发现，长时间沉溺于他们喜爱的电视剧的人确实更容易悲伤。
美国德克萨斯大学奥斯丁分校的科学家们，调查了316名18到29岁年轻人看电视的频率，以及感到孤独和抑郁的频繁程度。
他们发现参与者越孤独抑郁，他们越可能沉迷于电视，逃避这种负面情绪。
