As part of a longer-term study on Adventist health,
作為對基督復臨安息日會長期研究的一部分，
Dr Kelly Morton is running a clinic examining the effect of religion on life expectancy.
Kelly Morton醫生轉向教對預期壽命影響的臨床調查。
We are following a particular theory that says that the effects of stress
我們正遵循一個特別的理論，
accumulate across your entire life
稱聚集整個人生的潛能造成的影響，
so each major stressor of your life is pushing on your organ systems
因此每一次人生的重大的壓力都會壓迫身體機能，
and these organ systems slowly but surely have effects of all of these stressors that are accumulating.
而這些機能會慢慢但有效地形成所有逐步聚集的刺激。
From samples of their blood and saliva,
從他們的唾液和血液的樣本里，
It seems that regular churchgoers have significantly lower levels of stress hormones such as cortisol.
似乎經常去教堂的人有著較低水平的壓力荷爾蒙。
It's a sign that they may be better equipped to cope with the challenges in life.
這是一個征兆，他們能夠更好地應付生活所面臨的挑戰。
There's many things in life, many stressors that are not controllable,
現實生活中有許多事情，許多壓力是無法控制的，
that are not really your choice, but you still have to cope with them,
這不是你自己可以選擇的，但仍然需要去對付，
and religion and connection to something higher than oneself,
宗教和聯系要比自己更高一些，
connection to the sacred, connection to a tight-knit religious community
聯系神圣,聯系組織嚴密的宗教社團，
allows you to modulate your reactions, your emotions,
可以讓自己調節反應和情緒，
to believe that there is a broader purpose, and therefore,
相信會有更廣泛的效果，
your body can stay in balance and not be destroyed
所以，隨著時間的推移，在那些壓力和創傷作用下，
by those stressors and traumas over time.
身體能夠保持平衡，而不會垮掉。
Who's that?
那是誰？
That's me.
那就是我。
Who are you with? And that's me and that, there, that's my husband.
你和誰在一起？那是我和我的丈夫。
He died two days before our 77th anniversary.
他在我們結婚77周年前兩天去世的。
Is it hard living a long time?
一定難過了好長時間吧？
Hard living a long time? You lose people?
難過了好長時間?你也碰到過親人去世吧。
Oh, yes, it is, there's nobody you can talk to the same as that person, so...
噢，是的，沒有人可以像他那樣傾訴了，所以……
You know, time heals things a lot, so...
知道嗎，時間可以醫治很多東西，所以……
Where do you think he is now?
你認為他現在在哪？
Well, sleeping up here on a hill,
嗯，他躺在這里的一座小山上，
waiting for me to come and occupy the rest of the room.
等著我去在他旁邊陪他。
