There was one thing and one thing alone that predicted how long they would live.
只有一樣東西跟她們的壽命有聯系
And that was positive feelings.
那就是積極情緒
What they did, the researchers, was looking at the biographical sketches
研究人員所做的是看她們寫的傳記
now they had no idea who these women were, so it was a completely blind study — double blind.
他們不認識這些女人，所以這是一個完全盲法研究——雙盲研究
And they looked, they categorized the writings into four categories: the most positive, the least positive and two categories in between.
研究人員看這些傳記，把傳記分為四類：最積極的，最不積極的，中間還有兩類
And then they compared the most positive quartile to the least positive quartile.
然后他們比較最積極那類和最不積極的那類
And here are the results that they found.
他們得出以下的結果
Let me give you a sample though before so that you get a sense of what a positive sample is and what a less positive sample is.
我先給大家讀一段她們寫的傳記，讓你們了解積極的傳記是怎樣的，最不積極的是怎么樣的
So here is Cecilia O'Payne from the positive quartile: "God started my life off well by bestowing upon me grace of inestimable value.
這一段是積極類里的Cecilia O'Payne寫的："上帝為我的人生開了一個好頭，他恩賜我生命以無盡的價值
The past year which I spent as a candidate studying at Notre Dame has been a very happy one.
過去一年我在圣母學院受訓，這一年我過得很快樂"
Now I look forward with eager joy to receiving the Holy Habit of Our Lady and to a life of union with Love Divine.
"現在我熱切期待接過圣母的圣衣，接受主無上的愛"
Happy. Joy. Love. This is a positive person.
快樂，歡樂，愛，這是一個積極的人
Now here is someone from the least positive quartile. As you'll see, this is not someone who is particularly negative,
下面這位屬于最不積極的一類。你們會看到，她并不是特別消極，
but not a person who focuses on positive, on joy, on happiness.
但她并不關注于積極情緒上，沒有歡樂
