纪录片《轻松活过101岁》 第24期 更年轻一代的冲绳人(在线收听) |
What Bradley has discovered in Hawaii may being replicated in Okinawa itself. Bradley在夏威夷发现的可能是他在冲绳发现的翻版。 Living in the capital city of Naha are a younger generation of Okinawans 住在首府那霸的是更年轻一代的冲绳人, who have failed to learn the lessons from their grandparents. 他已经从自己的前辈那里汲取了教训。 In two generations, Okinawans have gone from the leanest 经历了两代人,冲绳人已经走出最贫乏的时代, and most robust of the Japanese to the heaviest of the Japanese, 从最强劲的日本人到最富有的日本人, and some diseases such as diabetes are now higher here than in mainland Japan. 像糖尿病这样的一些疾病现在在日本高发。 Okinawans are at a crossroads right now with regard to the future of health in Okinawa. 冲绳人现在处在十字路口,关注着未来的冲绳人的健康。 They go down one path, they try to recapture the old ways. 他们有一条路可走,努力回到原来的生活方式。 Then population health will improve in the younger generations 那么,人口健康将改善年轻一代, and they'll continue to lead the world in terms of longevity. 他们将继续处在世界长寿之颠。 But if they go down the other pathway, 但是如果他们选择另外一条道路, then they'll continue to lose ground in future generations 那么,他们的后代将继续失去地盘, and may end up even the shortest-lived of the Japanese if things continue. 并且,如果继续发展下去的话,可能会以日本人中最短寿而告终。 But for the time being, at least, many of the secrets of long life 但就目前而言,至少,长寿的许多秘密 can still be found by observing the people who are the living examples of healthy, active old age. 仍然可以通过观察活生生的健康长寿的例子来发现。 What's the best thing, Marge, about being older? Marge,老年人最好的事情是什么? The best thing? 最好的? I can't, I don't know of any. 我不知道,一点都不知道。 I don't know, maybe wiser? 不知道,可能更明智? No. Just... 不,只是…… Oh, I know, I get more attention. 啊,我知道了,我得到更多的关注。 |
