Translate the following passage into Chinese.(中国海洋大学2005研,考试科目:综合英语)There was a time not long ago when parents not only preached the virtues of work but practiced them. The work week was ten or fifteen hours longer than it is now for father, and his day off each week was a restorative to enable him to do a better job on the other six days. Now leisure has become a kind of job in its own light, and it is going to become still more of a job. When the work week shrinks, as economists say it will to twenty hours, it is going to be difficult indeed for father to preach to his children the old gospel that "the devil finds work for idle bands". There is plenty of evidence around us now of what happens to young people deprived of the opportunity to work and without the resources, either cultural or social, to put their time to good use.But leisure has still further effects. At its worst it is corrosive and it is stultifying. It passively accepts what is put before it. It wallows in ways to make time pass—hours of sitting before the television or in aimless puttering. Or it can be dangerously aggressive against society, or against self, as in dope addiction or alcoholism. Less spectacular, but also corrosive, undirected leisure takes itself out to consumption for consumption"s sake, in buying gadgets that save time, when time is the thing that least needs saving for the already time-ladened. It shows itself in ostentation and in competition with one"s neighbors.
