But first, I want you to make a little confession to me. In the past year, I want you to just raise your hand if you've experienced relatively little stress. Anyone? 0:11我要跟大家坦白一件事 但首先，我要各位 也对我坦白 如果相对来说，你去年压力不大的。请举手 有吗? 0:31How about a moderate amount of stress? 0:31那觉得承受的压力算普通的呢? 0:34Who has experienced a lot of stress? Yeah. Me too. 0:34有没有倍觉压力的? 看来我们都一样。 0:39But that is not my confession. My confession is this: I am a health psychologist, and my mission is to help people be happier and healthier. But I fear that something I've been teaching for the last 10 years is doing more harm than good, and it has to do with stress. For years I've been telling people, stress makes you sick. It increases the risk of everything from the common cold to cardiovascular disease. Basically, I've turned stress into the enemy. But I have changed my mind about stress, and today, I want to change yours. 0:39不过这不是我要坦白的 我要坦承的是，我 一名健康心理学家 我的职责就是让人们更健康快乐 不过我担心自己这10年来传授的 与压力有关的内容 恐怕弊多于利 这些年我不断跟人说，压力会让人生病 患有从一般感冒到心血管疾病的风险 都随之升高 基本上我把压力当作敌人 但我对压力的看法已经变了 而我今天就是要让你们改观的 1:20Let me start with the study that made me rethink my whole approach to stress. This study tracked 30,000 adults in the United States for eight years, and they started by asking people, "How much stress have you experienced in the last year?" They also asked, "Do you believe that stress is harmful for your health?" And then they used public death records to find out who died. 1:20先来谈让我对压力 另有看法的研究 这研究追踪在美国的3万名成人 历时8年，研究首先问这些人 「去年你感受到了多大压力?」 同时问他们 「你相信压力有碍健康吗?」 之后研究人员以公开的死亡统计 找出参与者中去逝的人 1:48Okay. Some bad news first. People who experienced a lot of stress in the previous year had a 43 percent increased risk of dying. But that was only true for the people who also believed that stress is harmful for your health. 1:48好，先说坏消息 前一年压力颇大的人 死亡的风险增加了43% 但这只适用于 那些相信压力有碍健康的人 2:09People who experienced a lot of stress but did not view stress as harmful were no more likely to die. In fact, they had the lowest risk of dying of anyone in the study, including people who had relatively little stress. 2:09承受极大压力的人 若不将此视为有害 死亡的风险就不会升高 事实上，与压力相对较小的 研究参与者相比 这样的人死亡风险反而最低 2:23Now the researchers estimated that over the eight years they were tracking deaths, 182,000 Americans died prematurely, not from stress, but from the belief that stress is bad for you. 2:23研究人员花了8年 追踪死亡案例 18.2万 美国人过早离世 原因并不是压力本身 而是认为压力有害的这个想法 2:37That is over 20,000 deaths a year. Now, if that estimate is correct, that would make believing stress is bad for you the 15th largest cause of death in the United States last year, killing more people than skin cancer, HIV/AIDS and homicide. 2:37估计超过2万人符合这情形 若估计正确 「相信压力有害」 就成为美国去年的 第15大死因 致死率更胜皮肤癌 爱滋病和谋杀 2:58You can see why this study freaked me out. Here I've been spending so much energy telling peoplestress is bad for your health. 2:58你们应能体会为何这研究让我担心害怕了 我一直努力告诉他人 压力有碍健康 3:08So this study got me wondering: Can changing how you think about stress make you healthier? And here the science says yes. When you change your mind about stress, you can change your body's response to stress. 3:08因此这研究使我想知道 改变对压力的看法 是否能促进健康? 显然科学对此抱以肯定 改变看待压力的方式 生理上的压力反应亦随之改变
