2010-07-06来源:和谐英语
  It was found that the amount of time spent watching television was a significant marker of the likelihood of death from heart disease.

  发现称花费更多时间看电视是死于心脏病的最大原因。

  Scientists estimated that 8 per cent of the deaths might have been avoided if TV viewing times had been reduced from the UK average of four hours a day to just one hour. That would have saved 30 lives.

  科学家估计如果看电视的时间从英国每天平均4个小时降到一个小时的话,会降低百分之八的死亡人数。那将挽救30条生命。

  study co-author Dr Katrien Wijndaele warned: 'Our bodies are not designed to sit for long periods and we should be aware that, as we put in the TV hours watching the World Cup, our risk of heart disease is probably increasing.'

  合作研究者Katrien Wijndaele博士警告说:“我们的身体不适合长时间坐着,应该尽量避免。当我们连续数小时看世界杯时,我们患心脏病的危险性正在增加。”
