There was one thing and one thing alone that predicted how long they would live.
只有一样东西跟她们的寿命有联系
And that was positive feelings.
那就是积极情绪
What they did, the researchers, was looking at the biographical sketches
研究人员所做的是看她们写的传记
now they had no idea who these women were, so it was a completely blind study — double blind.
他们不认识这些女人，所以这是一个完全盲法研究——双盲研究
And they looked, they categorized the writings into four categories: the most positive, the least positive and two categories in between.
研究人员看这些传记，把传记分为四类：最积极的，最不积极的，中间还有两类
And then they compared the most positive quartile to the least positive quartile.
然后他们比较最积极那类和最不积极的那类
And here are the results that they found.
他们得出以下的结果
Let me give you a sample though before so that you get a sense of what a positive sample is and what a less positive sample is.
我先给大家读一段她们写的传记，让你们了解积极的传记是怎样的，最不积极的是怎么样的
So here is Cecilia O'Payne from the positive quartile: "God started my life off well by bestowing upon me grace of inestimable value.
这一段是积极类里的Cecilia O'Payne写的："上帝为我的人生开了一个好头，他恩赐我生命以无尽的价值
The past year which I spent as a candidate studying at Notre Dame has been a very happy one.
过去一年我在圣母学院受训，这一年我过得很快乐"
Now I look forward with eager joy to receiving the Holy Habit of Our Lady and to a life of union with Love Divine.
"现在我热切期待接过圣母的圣衣，接受主无上的爱"
Happy. Joy. Love. This is a positive person.
快乐，欢乐，爱，这是一个积极的人
Now here is someone from the least positive quartile. As you'll see, this is not someone who is particularly negative,
下面这位属于最不积极的一类。你们会看到，她并不是特别消极，
but not a person who focuses on positive, on joy, on happiness.
但她并不关注于积极情绪上，没有欢乐
