介绍： 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.
这项研究追踪在美国的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。

The research project involves tracking the careers of 400 graduates.
这个研究项目对400名毕业生的事业发展情况进行跟踪调查。

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. People 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.
前一年压力颇大的人死亡的风险增加43%。但这只适用于那些相信压力有碍健康的人。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。

这种车刚造出时，其设计被认为是独具匠心。

So 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.
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。
