哪些因素影响健康长寿?
Who doesn't want to live forever? The Longevity Project is an eye-opening book based on one of a kind study, following 1500 people over eight decades. This book changes everything we thought about how to live a long, productive life. We're joined now by doctors Howard Friedman and Leslie Martin. Thank you. And shall I call you Howard and Leslie? (Definitely.)All right, thank you, thank you, thank you!
谁不想永葆青春呢？《长寿工程》是基于一份研究而著作的令人十分惊讶的书籍。这份研究八十年的时间内对1500人进行了追踪。这本书改变了关于怎样更长寿，过得更健康的观念。现在，Howard Friedman教授和Leslie Martin教授在现场参加我们的节目。我可以直接称你们Howard和Leslie吗？（当然可以。）好的，谢谢，谢谢，谢谢！
This is just remarkable. Howard, first of all, tell us a bit about the study.
非常引人注目。Howard，首先请给大家介绍一下这项研究的情况。
Well, this is really a breakthrough study, because it’s the first scientific study that followed people from when they were children -- and that back in 1921 -- throughout their whole lives, when they went through adolescence, as they went through young adulthood, as they got married, had their own children, went into their careers, aged, to see why some people thrived, lived long, stayed healthy, other people kind of fell off the healthy path and succumbed and died before their time.
好的，这确实是一项突破性的研究，因为这是首个从孩童时期就开始对人们进行追踪记录的科学研究，而且是从1921年就开始了，对他们终生进行追踪，历经了青少年时期，青年时代，婚后，有孩子之后，进入职场，年老，看一下人们为何能够生机勃勃，能够长寿，保持健康。而其他人则不那么健康，比其他人更早去世。
But to have that body of information, it’s just unheard of. Leslie, is there a best indicator one thing that really stood out why people live long?
但是这项研究的信息是前所未闻的。Leslie，有没有一项特别显著的因素可以让人们长寿？
The best most consistent predictor was actually conscientiousness. So a conscientious person is someone who is dependable, and organized,prudent. They think they had their persistence. When they start something, they stick to it. That… it might sound like he's a boring person,these aren’t boring people.
最重要的指标就是责任感。一个尽责的人是值得信赖的，有组织的，谨慎的。人们认为他们更有毅力。当他们开始一件事的时候就一定会坚持。听上去他们好像是枯燥无味的人。不过事实并非如此。
No, no.
对，并非如此。
We knew, have those qualities, you tend to have more opportunities. You have opportunities to do really cool, fun stuff.
我们知道，具有这些品质的人会面临更多机会。你们有机会做更加精彩，更加有趣的事情。
All right, well, let’s have a little “True and False” here, because that will help us get the message across a little bit more. We are gonna start with you first, Howard. True or false? Carefree folks live longer than worrywarts.
好的，让我们做一个对错判断题。因为这样可以让我们充分地了解一些信息。我们先从Howard开始。下面这个说法对还是错？无忧无虑的人比自寻烦恼的人更长寿。
What do you think?
你怎样看？
I think it’s a little good to worry.
我认为稍微忧虑一点比较好。
It is. It turns out, right. It's very important...
结果是，正确。这非常重要。
So it’s false. Carefree people do not live longer than the worrywarts.
是错的。无忧无虑的人并不比自寻烦恼的人长寿。
Yeah, right. We found, in fact, that you always hear take it easy, don’t work so hard, and distress yourself. We felt people didn’t work themselves to death; they really worked themselves to life. The people who were committed to their careers, worked hard, stayed involved and succeeded in their careers actually stayed healthy and lived long.
是的。我们发现，你总是听人们说，放松一点，不要担心，不要那么辛苦地工作，缓解一下压力。我们觉得人们不应该工作致死。他们工作只是为了生活。忠于职业，努力工作，努力参与，职业获得成功的人更加健康长寿。
