My mother-in-law has a certain myopia when it comes to anyone else's point of view.

我婆婆对他人的观点向来看不清楚。

People with myopia, or nearsightedness, have trouble focusing on objects far away, often because the eye is too long—kind of football-shaped.

近视的人聚焦远方物体有困难，通常因为眼球太长，有点像美式足球。

In the past century, the prevalence of myopia—science-speak for being able to see only what's right in front of you—has been on the rise.

在过去的一世纪中，近视眼一直呈现上升趋势，这都是拜所赐让看清楚。

According to the ministry, this decline has basically met the annual target of reducing the myopia rate by 0.5 percentage points stipulated in a 2018 plan.

据教育部介绍，这一降幅基本实现了 2018 年《方案》中规定的每年降低近视 0.5 分点的目标。

The plan also set forth a series of targets including reducing the myopia rate among primary, middle and high school students to less than 38%, 60% and 70% by 2030, respectively.

《方案》还提出了到2030年，小生近视下降到38%以下，初中生近视下降到60%以下，高中阶段生近视下降到70%以下等目标。

The myopia rate in 2020 was 2.5 percentage points higher than the 2019 level, as schools shifted classes online and students had to study at home due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

2020年，受新冠肺炎疫情影响，校转而开设远程教，生居家进行在线习，因此总体近视较2019年上升了2.5分点。

A key reason is what the late Harvard Business School professor Theodore Levitt famously termed marketing myopia — a nearsighted focus on selling products and services rather than seeing the big picture of what consumers really want.

一关键原因由已故哈佛商院教授西奥多·莱维特指出，即著名的营销短视——短视专注于销售产品和服务，而不是看到消费者真正想要什么的大局。
