哪些因素影響健康長壽?
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!
誰不想永葆青春呢？《長壽工程》是基于一份研究而著作的令人十分驚訝的書籍。這份研究八十年的時間內對1500人進行了追蹤。這本書改變了關于怎樣更長壽，過得更健康的觀念。現在，Howard Friedman教授和Leslie Martin教授在現場參加我們的節目。我可以直接稱你們Howard和Leslie嗎？（當然可以。）好的，謝謝，謝謝，謝謝！
This is just remarkable. Howard, first of all, tell us a bit about the study.
非常引人注目。Howard，首先請給大家介紹一下這項研究的情況。
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，這確實是一項突破性的研究，因為這是首個從孩童時期就開始對人們進行追蹤記錄的科學研究，而且是從1921年就開始了，對他們終生進行追蹤，歷經了青少年時期，青年時代，婚后，有孩子之后，進入職場，年老，看一下人們為何能夠生機勃勃，能夠長壽，保持健康。而其他人則不那么健康，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?
但是這項研究的信息是前所未聞的。Leslie，有沒有一項特別顯著的因素可以讓人們長壽？
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.
最重要的指標就是責任感。一個盡責的人是值得信賴的，有組織的，謹慎的。人們認為他們更有毅力。當他們開始一件事的時候就一定會堅持。聽上去他們好像是枯燥無味的人。不過事實并非如此。
No, no.
對，并非如此。
We knew, have those qualities, you tend to have more opportunities. You have opportunities to do really cool, fun stuff.
我們知道，具有這些品質的人會面臨更多機會。你們有機會做更加精彩，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，讓我們做一個對錯判斷題。因為這樣可以讓我們充分地了解一些信息。我們先從Howard開始。下面這個說法對還是錯？無憂無慮的人比自尋煩惱的人更長壽。
What do you think?
你怎樣看？
I think it’s a little good to worry.
我認為稍微憂慮一點比較好。
It is. It turns out, right. It's very important...
結果是，正確。這非常重要。
So it’s false. Carefree people do not live longer than the worrywarts.
是錯的。無憂無慮的人并不比自尋煩惱的人長壽。
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。我們發現，你總是聽人們說，放松一點，不要擔心，不要那么辛苦地工作，緩解一下壓力。我們覺得人們不應該工作致死。他們工作只是為了生活。忠于職業，努力工作，努力參與，職業獲得成功的人更加健康長壽。
