Again, very factual. But not as positive as much of a merit finder, an optimist as Cecilia O'Payne.
非常写实。没有积极者的那么积极，没有Cecilia O'Payne那么乐观
Let's look at some of the data now.
现在我们来看看这些资料

At the age of 85, at the age of 85—and again, this is a looking back,
85岁时，我要重申，她们85岁，是很多年前的事了
90% of the most cheerful quartile were alive and just 34% of the least cheerful quartile were alive. This is significant difference.
最积极那类有90%还活着，而最不积极那类只有34%。两个数据相差很大
Now that dosen't mean that there aren't some fault finders who lived to 120 and merit finders who died of a heart attack at 30. Of course, there are.
这并不说明消极者就不会活到120岁，也不能说明积极者就不会30岁死于心脏病发，当然个别例外是有的
But on average, the best predictor what accounts for the most of the variance,
但平均来说，在这个长寿研究中，最能解释
in terms of longevity in the study, was positive feelings — positivity in general.
两组相差如此大的数据的因素就是积极情绪——总体的积极性
Here is 9 years later. Same study. At the age of 94, 54% of the most cheerful quartile were still alive while just 11% of the least cheerful quartile were alive.
再过九年，她们94岁的时候，最积极一类中有54%还活着，而最不积极那类只有11%
These are remarkable results.
结果很显着
