Will Retiring Later Preserve Your Brain?
推遲退休延緩大腦衰老？
In the battle against those senior moments, the Americans have turned everything from crosswords to Sudoku, but there is a new report out that finds that it could boil down that old injunction. Maybe it's really better to wear-out than rest-out. Deberol Roberts has more.
在應對大腦衰老的戰爭中，美國人嘗試了各種方法，從字謎到橋牌，但是一份新的報告或許有助于緩和人們反對舊禁令的聲音。或許努力勞作比整天休息好得多。Deberol Roberts報道更詳細內容。
At a time when many of his friends have long retired, Dan Morgenstern wouldn't think of it.
Dan Morgenstern的許多朋友已經退休很長時間了，而他仍然不考慮退休。
--It's something that I still enjoy doing. And that's why I am still here.
這仍然是我喜歡做的工作。所以我依然堅守在這里。
For the past 34 years, he's been at work, running a Jazz music institute at Rutgers University. Morgenstern is 80 years old.
過去34年，他一直工作。他在羅格斯大學創辦了一個爵士音樂工作研究所。Morgenstern現在已經80歲了。
--I am absolutely certain that continuing to work is helping me to keep my mind alert.
我非常確信，持續工作可以幫助我的大腦保持敏捷。
He may be onto something. A new analysis suggests that putting off retirement and working longer in life with all of its mental work place vigors may keep your brain sharp. Playing a daily game of chess may not be enough.
或許他是對的。一項新的分析表明，推遲退休，增加腦力勞動者工作年限或許可以保持大腦清醒。僅僅每天下象棋或許是不夠的。
--The big difference here is that people spend thousands of hours at work and work can be a very powerful environment.
其重大影響就是，人們花費大量時間在工作上，而工作是一個非常有力的環境。
The economic professors behind it all looked into 20 years worth of data involving thousands of aging people from the US and 11 other countries. All were given a simple memory test and Americans who tend to retire latter in life scored highest.
這項研究的經濟學教授查看了美國和其他11個國家數千名老年人長達20年的數據。所有人都接受了簡單的記憶測試，退休年齡較老的美國人得分更高。
They don't know what it is about work. Is it the job you do or the social interaction that's helping? Some scientists though are convinced they want more data but they say it is a persuasive argument for the old adage:use it or lose it.
他們并不清楚其原理。能夠保持大腦敏捷的是工作還是社交活動？然而，一些科學家認為他們需要更多數據。但是他們說，那個古老的說法是很有說服力的：用進廢退！
