中年時(shí)的八個(gè)健康習(xí)慣，可以讓你多活二十多年。

According to research, you can lengthen your life by doing regular exercise, having a healthy diet, positive social relationships and a regular sleep routine, and avoiding stress, smoking, opioid drugs, and too much alcohol.

根據(jù)研究，你可以通過定期鍛煉、健康飲食、積極的社會(huì)關(guān)系和規(guī)律的睡眠習(xí)慣，以及避免壓力、吸煙、阿片類藥物和酗酒來延長壽命。

The study was carried out over eight years and more than 700,000 Americans took part in it.

這項(xiàng)研究歷時(shí)八年多，超過 70 萬美國人參與了這項(xiàng)研究。

You've been looking at the headlines, Beth. What's the vocabulary?

貝絲，你已經(jīng)看過新聞標(biāo)題了。要學(xué)的詞匯都有什么？

We have: kicking habits, longevity and adopting.

我們有：戒掉習(xí)慣、長壽和采用。

This is News Review from BBC Learning English.

這里是 BBC 英語學(xué)習(xí)頻道的時(shí)事摘錄。

Let's have a look at our first headline.

我們來看我們的第一條新聞標(biāo)題。

This is from The Independent.

這一條來自《獨(dú)立報(bào)》。

Kicking these eight habits could help you live 20 years longer, scientists say.

科學(xué)家說，戒掉這八個(gè)習(xí)慣可以幫助你多活 20 年。

So, kicking these habits can help you live longer.

所以，改掉這些習(xí)慣可以幫助你活得更久。

A habit is something that you do regularly.

習(xí)慣是你經(jīng)常做的事情。

Sometimes a good thing, like exercise.

有時(shí)候是好事，比如鍛煉。

Sometimes a bad thing, like smoking.

有時(shí)候是壞事，比如抽煙。

But 'kick'? You kick a football.

但是“踢”？你可以踢足球。

You can kick something away, but kick a habit?

你可以踢一些東西，但是 kick a habit？

Well, think of the literal action of kick.

想想 kick 的字面意思。

If you kick a football, then you move it out of your way, possibly quite quickly and violently.

如果你踢一個(gè)足球，那么你就把它踢走了，可能是非常迅速又猛烈的。

So, if you kick a bad habit, like smoking or drinking too much alcohol, then your metaphorically forcing it away from you.

因此，如果你戒掉了一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣，比如吸煙或酗酒，那么隱喻意義上你就是在強(qiáng)迫它遠(yuǎn)離你。

You're stopping the habit.

你正在戒掉這個(gè)習(xí)慣。

Yeah. And we use 'kick' and 'habit' together very regularly, especially to talk about something that you really want to stop doing.

是的。我們經(jīng)常把 kick 和 habit 放在一起使用，尤其是在談?wù)撃阏嫘南胪Ｖ棺龅氖虑闀r(shí)。

Beth, have you kicked a habit or is there one you really want to kick?

貝絲，你有沒有戒掉過某個(gè)習(xí)慣，或者你有沒有十分想戒掉的一個(gè)習(xí)慣？

Well, I'm trying to stop eating as much chocolate, but I haven't quite kicked the habit yet. What about you?

我正在努力不再吃那么多巧克力，但我還沒有完全戒掉這個(gè)習(xí)慣。那你呢？

I really want to kick the habit of checking my phone all the time.

我真的很想戒掉一直看手機(jī)的習(xí)慣。

I do it so often. And it's a really bad thing. I want to kick that habit.

我經(jīng)常看手機(jī)。這真的是件壞事。我想戒掉那個(gè)習(xí)慣。

Let's look at that again.

讓我們再看一遍。

... I want to kick the habit of checking my phone all the time...

我想戒掉一直看手機(jī)的習(xí)慣。

Let's have our next headline.

讓我們看下一個(gè)標(biāo)題。

This is from WorldHealth.net.

這一條來自“世界衛(wèi)生組織”網(wǎng)。

These habits may help to extend your longevity by decades.

這些習(xí)慣可能有助于延長你的壽命幾十年。

So, this headline says that these habits will extend your longevity.

所以，這個(gè)標(biāo)題說這些習(xí)慣會(huì)延長你的壽命。

'Longevity' is the word that we're looking at.

“長壽”是我們要學(xué)習(xí)的單詞。

I can see it's got 'long' in it. Is there a connection?

我能看到里面有“長”字。這其中有聯(lián)系嗎？

There is, yeah. So 'longevity' is a noun and it means living for a long time.

是的，有。所以“長壽”是名詞，意思是活很長時(shí)間。

So, this headline is saying that having these habits will make you live longer.

因此，這個(gè)標(biāo)題是說擁有這些習(xí)慣會(huì)讓你活得更久。

But there is another meaning to longevity, isn't there?

不過長壽還有另一層含義，不是嗎？

Yes, if something is popular or useful for a long time we can say that it has longevity.

是的，如果某樣?xùn)|西長期很受歡迎或有用，我們就可以說它具有長久的生命力。

Now, for example, flexible working could be important for longevity in a job, meaning that people will want to stay in their job longer if it's flexible.

例如，彈性工作制對(duì)于工作的長久性很重要，也就是說，如果工作方式靈活，人們就會(huì)愿意在工作崗位上干更長時(shí)間。

And take note — this word is quite formal, so it is usually seen more in writing than speaking.

請(qǐng)注意，這個(gè)詞非常正式，所以通常更多出現(xiàn)在書面而不是口頭上。

I wouldn't say 'Did you know that doing exercise helps your longevity?' I would say 'it helps you live longer'.

我不會(huì)說‘你知道鍛煉有助于長壽嗎？’我會(huì)說“它有助于你活得更久”。

Yes. Now take note about the pronunciation of this word — it's a little bit strange.

是的。現(xiàn)在注意這個(gè)單詞的發(fā)音——它略微有點(diǎn)奇怪。

It's longevity, so we have the/?/at the end of 'long' as normal, but then there's this/d?/sound as well — longevity.

長壽，所以我們在“l(fā)ong”的末尾照常會(huì)有 /?/ 音，但是還有這個(gè) /d?/ 音——長壽。

Let's look at that again.

讓我們再看一遍。

... The study found that regular exercise improves longevity...

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，經(jīng)常鍛煉可以延長壽命。

Let's have our next headline.

讓我們看下一個(gè)標(biāo)題。

This is from PerthNow.

這一條來自《今日柏斯報(bào)》。

Adopting eight simple healthy habits could help increase your lifespan by decades, a survey finds.

一項(xiàng)調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，養(yǎng)成八個(gè)簡單的健康習(xí)慣可以幫助你延長幾十年的壽命。

So, this headline is saying you can achieve 'longevity', that's the word that we just looked at, by adopting these habits.

所以，這個(gè)標(biāo)題是說，通過養(yǎng)成這些習(xí)慣，你可以實(shí)現(xiàn)“長壽”，“長壽”這是我們剛剛學(xué)到的詞。

'Adopting' is the word we're looking at now.

我們現(xiàn)在要看的是“adopting”這個(gè)詞。

Now, Beth, there was a kitten living in our street and it didn't have a home, so we brought it into our home to live.

貝絲，我們這條街上住著一只小貓，它沒有家，于是我們把它帶回家住了。

We adopted it.

我們收養(yǎng)了它。

Well, that's very cute.

好溫馨哦。

'Adopt' can be when you take responsibility for something, like your kitten.

“收養(yǎng)”可以指你對(duì)某樣事物負(fù)責(zé)，比如你的小貓。

If it's a child, then that is a legal process — you adopt a child.

如果是個(gè)孩子，那就走法律程序——你收養(yǎng)一個(gè)孩子。

Now, Neil, when you adopted your kitten it became yours.

尼爾，當(dāng)你收養(yǎng)你的小貓時(shí)，它就變成了你的貓。

And that idea is the same as in the headline with 'adopt'. It means taken and now belongs to you.

這個(gè)概念和標(biāo)題中的“adopt”是一樣的含義。意思是被拿走，現(xiàn)在屬于你了。

Yes. So the headline is saying that you can take these healthy habits and apply them to yourself.

是的。所以標(biāo)題是說你可以把這些健康的習(xí)慣應(yīng)用到自己身上。

Now, it's not just these habits that you can adopt, or kittens, or children.

現(xiàn)在，不只是這些習(xí)慣你可以采用，或者收養(yǎng)小貓，或者收養(yǎng)孩子。

You can also adopt a new approach, for example.

例如，你還可以采用一種新方法。

Or a person might adopt a new attitude.

或者一個(gè)人可能會(huì)采取一種新的態(tài)度。

That's right. I watched a documentary about being vegetarian.

沒錯(cuò)。我看了一部關(guān)于成為素食主義者的紀(jì)錄片。

Could I say that I have adopted a new diet?

我可以說我采用了一種新的飲食方式嗎？

You could — it does sound a little bit formal. I understand what you mean, but probably you'd just say I've changed my diet, or I've changed the way I eat.

你可以這么說——聽起來確實(shí)有點(diǎn)正式。我明白你的意思，不過你可能會(huì)說我改變了飲食習(xí)慣，或者我改變了飲食方式。

Let's look at that again.

讓我們再看一遍。

... The organisation has adopted a new approach to hiring...

該組織采用了新的招聘方法。

We've had: kicking habits — stopping bad habits.

我們學(xué)了：戒掉習(xí)慣——停止壞習(xí)慣。

Longevity — living or lasting a long time.

長壽——活很長時(shí)間或持續(xù)很長時(shí)間。

And adopting — taking as your own.

還有“采用”——把它當(dāng)作你自己的。

Now, if you're interested in longevity, we recently asked could humans live to 140 years old?

如果你對(duì)長壽感興趣，我們最近問了人類能活到 140 歲嗎？
