翻译下这段吧
Governments are well placed to solve such collective-action problems, while reassuring anxious parents that a bit less classroom time is unlikely to be catastrophic. After all, countries such as Finland and Sweden do well in global education rankings with a less intense approach to education. Giving more outdoor time to young children would still leave room for them to cram for exams in their teenage years. And longer breaks in the playground may also make a dent in other rich-world problems such as childhood obesity. Far-sighted governments should send the kids outdoors.
政府完备有能力办理这种集体近视问题,同时让焦虑的家长放心,教室韶光少一点不会造成灾害性后果。毕竟,芬兰和瑞典等国家在环球教诲排名中表现出色,但他们教诲办法的强度没有那么大。给少年儿童更多的户外韶光,仍旧会给(她)他们留出学习空间,让(她)他们在青少年期间临时抱佛脚搪塞考试。给少年儿童在操场上更长的安歇韶光也会减少其他富余国家诸如儿童肥胖等问题。有远见确当局该当把孩子们送到户外去。
